What Happened to Sc2

Starcraft( and Starcraft2) used to be considered the most competitive game and I believe the one with the best esports scene.

Then friends at Blizzard Entertainment slowly over time started accelerating the game so that it was more exciting to watch. Sound familiar?

At first it worked, but the player base plummeted and eventually people lost interest in the game, so stopped both playing it and watching it. Now, Starcraft is rarely in the top 15 on twitch, and the playerbase has been reduced significantly. Because, it turns out, people tend to play games that are fun, and watch games they have interest in and actually play. I'm sure Blizzard HD was shocked to find out
