Battle net no doubt is a major failure.


The game itself is a top notch RTS, and I think anyone who claims its not is just letting their anger at some of the other short comings get the better of them.

Teamliquid.net, the Korean Progaming Website! hmmmm... now why would people be upset that the proscene will no longer be there?

P.S. Game is boring as hell. and battle.net 2 is epic fail. No proscene, no gameplay, no social aspect. Why buy?

Honestly this is pretty subjective. Yes in BW (and possibly sc2) korea might have the best players but korean e-sports has been very boring to watch for me after 3-4years. I find the games to be far more exciting when players make mistakes then find a creative way to recover, instead of moving with mechanical limbs.

Edit: That being said, would BW have survived over all this time without the korean scene? Probably not. The korean scene is obviously influential but in my opinion it is stagnant. Time to move on to more exciting things =).
Your resistance only serves to make my carapace harder.

thats no fact. wgt, pgt, iccup - korea made none of this. tl, gg.net - kespa didnt make these. bwcl isnt their work either. i dont care about starcraft cause kespa build their little turf in their little country. they made a shiny turf, but its a small country, huge language barrier, doesnt reach people anywhere else except via what dedicated members of our OWN community bring to us. ive not been playing bw coz korea has two channels broadcasting the game. i played it because its a great game. our community doesnt depend in the slightest on korea. theres some inspiration coming from there but thats not kespas work, that comes from our guys and from the players themselves.
yo cant hype korean esports as the best there'll ever be. it isnt the top of the world.

Dude you're not making any sense, I don't think a lot of people would stand on your side opposing the fact that korean esport has promoted, spread and kept starcraft alive to a large extent over the past years. What the hell do you think these sites (gg.net, tl.net) are meant to be in the first place?

You're talking as if we'd have this cool community even if starcraft didn't catch on in korea the way it did. In reality these sites were originally meant to be portals into the world of korean esports. If starcraft wasn't unique in the fact that it's been the subject of a large emerging E-sports industry it would have been much less intriguing to a lot of us, and chances are people would have lost interest long ago as has happened in the case of many other excellent games (wc2 comes to mind). Are you new to the scene or something? I don't understand any of what you're saying.

Blizzard are opposed to private servers such as iccup. Game-i was shut down, and trust me when I say that blizzard will do everything in their power to oppose any attempts at creating private servers in sc2, no matter how large the disappointment over the official laddering system is among their fans.

"Haters gonna hate"? That's so silly. Why do you think me and others are refraining from buying the sequel to the game that has been a great source of entertainment and joy for a large part of our lives? Could it maybe have something to do with blizzards decision making?

And even if this doesn't affect you directly, maybe you should stop and think of the implications of what blizzard is doing atm? What's the next step?

Korean esports is the best thing that ever happened to Starcraft. It is the main reason for this website's existence.

The worst problem I have with this is that Blizzcon which is in OCTOBER will be more WoW/D3 based. Which kind of rains on my parade of having good SC times with people from TL since the main reason almost everyone wanted to go was for SC2. If Blizzard does take the wind out of Korea's E-Sports sails I don't know how much fun Blizzcon will be without them

I never really planed to buy SC2 anyways. Maybe i woulda buy it just for respect of BW. But thats not the case anymore . Im disaponted in Blizzard on so many lvls so i will not buy any of their products in the future.

Ive always used pirated versions of games in the past but i got BW original just because i thought it was worth it to support Blizzard because they made such a good game. But now even if i wanna try SC2 i will use pirated version

too bad it doesn't matter how many of us don't buy sc2. the damage is already done because everyone who makes things happen in e-sports especially outside of korea knows there will be way more money in sc2.

Yeah man, blizzard saw that StarCraft BroodWar will be a hit over at Korea and they let them have fun at it first by not taxing them with the tournaments and the starleagues and all. Fuck when a Blizzard representative visited Korea and saw Boxer play and how he sneaked out his scouting scv by building a supply depo behind the mineral line and then canceling to make the scv slip past the mineral line, the Blizzard rep had that coming but of course he had to say it fucking blew his socks off just to avoid getting lynch mobbed by the fans of the Emperor. Now they're gonna make Korea pay for broadcasted SC2 games. Blizzard so had professional StarCraft coming. I guess Korean eSports will only start to have value if Kepsa agrees with Blizzard on the IP.

Korean eSports is soooo overrated.

I will but it. Either Blizzard will realize that bnet 2.0 is a total failure or some modders will take care of it, I am confident

Well duh. Youre adressing something else than what I was thinking about when I made that post though. I was thinking more of how Bnet.2.0 is set up. I honestly doubt whether this GOM-TV thing will "alienate" "big chunks" of the dedicated fanbase as you claim though. Only time will tell,
