T2 didn't need Classic. T2 needed a patch, in the form of 25034. Competitive T2 was centered around base++ in the US, and base in Europe.
Competition Mod (which became Classic) was a failed attempt to bring T1 players to T2 by adding **** like mine+disc, frictionless skiing, and variable gravity. These changes, coupled with the nerfs to their shielding and health, also made vehicles effectively pointless.
All competition really needed was a new version of base++ to work with the last patch, which neither z0dd nor ZOD worked on and was only updated by [AKA]PanamaJack, whose popularity among a vocal minority of the community led to it not being accepted, as "Classic" was the new standard.
The best teams quit and competition died. So yes, I blame Classic for killing T2.
