Sadly not the case, as much as I love ASL the scene has zero new blood. SC2 really killed the Brood War scene, and League of Legends really killed SC2. The days of packing an aircraft hanger with 30,000+ fans for OSL finals are long gone.

I was invited to the Stormgate alpha, and while I can't say anything about it (NDA), I am hopeful it will bring new life into RTS esports.

It's still heavily played. There are tons of show matches and ASL which is good. There are newer players like Scan, and we had a couple new guys last season.

Is it in it's heyday? No. Is it still fantastic? Yeah.

KESPA killed Brood War primarily because Blizzard forced them to. Then KESPA itself died.

Lots of great BW still being played no question about that

IvOry just qualified for ASL. That’s definitely new blood.
