I really agree with the whole GOMTV sucking part.

I love Tasteless and all, but imo GOMTV+Blizzard will never become what OGN+MBC+Kespa did. Blizzard basically sat out of Korea for the past 10 years and did shit-all while Kespa developed the scene, and now Blizzards basically try to kick in the door, barge in, and scream "ITS OUR HOUSE NOW!!".

Maybe it's the fact that it's Activision-Blizzard now and we all know how that company loves to make money but..

:/

5/5 blog though

A very interesting read, this should be in the SC2 general instead of the "SC2 fails in PC bangs" in my opinion. I'm hoping you aren't right though, or that things change in time.

absolutely amazing, hitting all points and left me laughing, just felt the need to say thank you for typing all this up, this is honestly exactly what i was feeling about the whole situation in korea... lol.

Blizzard read this carefully and post it in all your cubicles. This should be a list of shit YOU SHOULD NOT DO WITH AN E-SPORTS ORIENTATED RELEASE.

p.s stop melting graphics cards.

I'm very surprised at that chart. Aion ftw! If only I had $15 a month to dish out for that game.
I want to fuck Soulkey with a Zelderan.

"I thought sc2 would fail but the popularity is incredible"

"i was a little disappointed when beta first came out, that regardless of all the publicity reaction seemed kind of dull...

but when i went to a pc bang where sc2 hadn't been installed a bunch of people were playing sc2."

he goes onto say he thinks its especially cause of UMS maps that itll have to succeed.

basically this means that in some cases people have actually played sc2 by installing sc2 themselves, without it being an official pc bang game at that location.

A korean games company should make a proper RTS without the bullshit baggage from Activision and retarded designs from Dustin Browden. Aion is already way better than WoW and the same could be done with SC.

and LOL @ bertsc2 has nothing to say so he reverts to ad hominem. yeah i really am not at your level.

i think you are whole bunches of wrong. it doesn't really matter if all or any of your opinion is quite as ubiquitous as you seem to think.

the truth is that korea WILL rally around this game because they are THE e-sports permanent SC host nation. why would they delibiretly snub this opportunity to take to the next level what they themselves started? should adaptation, evolution, and progress fail to conservatism?

and why do you think the results need be mutually exclusive? can not sc2 be this huge competitive thing for international e-athletes with super computers while at the same time PL and the starleagues keep doing there thing as they've always done? cuz you know what, i'm pretty sure that is what has been happening - and will continue so.

seriously, stop feeling like the sc1 phenomenon is being abandoned. instead, think of it as sc2 is your little brother who is smarter and stronger because you taught him and trained him yourself.

Getting stars from scbw would seem to be a really good way to promote sc2, that and perhaps having teams that play both sc2 and scbw. bo5 set 1 sc2, set 2 bw, set 3 sc2, set 4 bw, ace sc2

Frankly, there are few in a position to tell him that he's right.

How can you forget your social security number? :D

And boy does whoever created junkacc (who is obviously a mod, since thats the only reason it would still not be banned as having multiple accs isnt allowed by us regular mortal) have it in for SC2, he hates it with his entire being.

Thanks for this. Hopefully BW doesn't become another casualty to Blizzard's ham-handedness.

It was prolly activisions fault. forcing producers to pump out a new CoD game yearly, they are just wanting more and more money. So they spend big bucks in korea, with little profit.

Man i hate activision >_>
