Well, we all know DE is here, and my question is, what do you think will happen? In my personal opinion i think voobly will die regardless of DE "quality" and so on, i think we can already see the first signs of this, i personally don't have a bias to either DE or voob, and if DE becomes the main thing I am completely fine with this, i just want to hear some people opinions, i would like some Pros or streamers to pitch in here as well tbh, because I know there will be ppl biased saying "oh DE sucks, voob is #1" and so on, so would be nice to hear people who kind of do this for a living and such.
My arguments so far would be this:
1. We have and will have DE tournaments,(already 2 announced) which means DE ladder which means you have to play DE
2.Pros and streamers will want more hype/tourneys/viewers/support/etc. So they will stream more DE to get that all, which again will put more people attention to DE
3. Voobly playerbase will shrink a lot, especially good level games, cause again all pros are on DE
4. So casters will sit on DE more and more as well, which again means less less voobly time
5.People that are tired of tryhard voob will obv go to DE, cause more chill/ new campaigns, AI and such, means it will attract the <1600 voob playerbase for sure
6. If we remove top 20 voob players from voob, it's basically done already, it's just a matter of time.
