When StarCraft 2 was released it was engineered from conception on to be the 'next big thing' in eSports, but that surprisingly didn't happen, at least to the extent that Blizzard probably hoped. While Blizzard didn't invent eSports, StarCraft Broodwar was certainly largely - and lucratively - responsible for the rise of the profession in South Korea and throughout Asia. Still, five years is a long time in the games industry, and in the world of competitive eSports, RTS games have been somewhat displaced by MOBAs. Whether Blizzard truly needed three full games to tell its epic story or just wanted three times the income is open to debate, but of course in typical Blizzard fashion all three games are outstanding products.
I have watched this grow from a simple science-fiction counterpart of Warcraft into a phenomenal platform that hosts tournaments, draw crowds, create champions, and pay out.įor fans of real time strategy games, all of the hoopla and media attention paid to the arrival of Fallout 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider was overshadowed by the release of Legacy of the Void, the final installment of the StarCraft 2 trilogy that began with Wings of Liberty in 2010 before progressing to Heart of the Swarm in 2013. I have been watching and playing since the beginning. 'StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void is a fitting end to the five year story and it's great that Blizzard will continue to support the universe with smaller expansions in the coming months.' Here we are at the final chapter of StarCraft II, the much anticipated Protoss-centered section, Legacy of the Void.
