It is for me… this ridiculously long off season and lack of tourneys and utter disregard of tier 2+… I could really see this game dying out after next season or after, whenever the next good competitiveness game comes out.
franchsing ist NOT bad, its just HOW they did franchising. The thing is, Tier 1 will always be fine thats the point of franchising. But Tier 2 just dies like OW Tier 2. And reverting franchsing would be so bad for the scene. NA had so many good ORGs but they got heavily reduced.
PS: i think the game maybe lasts like 5 years, but T2 is going to die soon
