No. But from my own experience there are a lot of gamers who want to see competitive VODs in tourneys. Viewers of progames on the other side are turning into loyal buyers of other games and not only the SC franchise.
I was never very good at SC1 and neither am I for SC2, but I certainly enjoy watching good games between two progamers. For that the games needs to be balanced and game design needs to take that into account.
On a side note I still enjoy BW games more, but the old graphics don't attract new viewers who want to be able to zoom in to the bullet marks on the armor of a marine. The game designers did a pretty good job at making sure the new flashy effects won't affect the ability to see the action and react fast during a match.
