Completely agree. As a fan of both games and pro leagues it ticks me off when one side bashes the other wishing it to die. BOTH sides do this, and it's really splitting the community. SC2 elitists need to stop dissing BW and BW elitists need to stop dissing SC2. They're both fantastic games and if one is not your cup of tea, respect the fact that for others it is.

As always, thanks for all your contributions Milkis.

I'm with the same attitude. It's surprising that Blizzard / Gom can be seen as the oppressor here, and that it's easier to side with Kespa which has a history of being disliked. This was my attitude until Blizzard became more open just recently on the results of the talks and their attitude towards the concept of competitive sc1 in Korea. I'm just waiting to see now and hope for a fair outcome.

Overall I'd agree with the post if it didn't make feel entirely powerless and as if I'm just letting the thing I love get utterly destroyed. The SC1 pro-scene is something wonderfully unique that I bet most didn't even appreciate until it was threatened with being shut down.
That's how I justify writing posts that defend KeSPA and Proleague. Seems silly in retrospect, but I'm certain I'll do so again and again, because love IS silly. I try to avoid bashing as much as possible and focus my energy on PL material.

Maybe what I'm doing is bad for E-sports and SC2-s future, but the way SC2 is turning out to be and the way Blizzard seems to take the game, I'm not even sure whether I want it to succeed. Especially when the players of my beloved sport are forced into something I despise.

I just wish I could do more.

idk.... people will get emotional when something they loved for so long is in jeopardy of just completely vanishing, and I think its not a bad idea to have a thread or to to just vent and scream about it. Might even go as far as to say its healthy.

Of course, when it gets to a point where every other thread is talking about it, then it gets ridiculous. Maybe there should be a sticky where people can go and say whatever they think about IP rights and this whole incident. I mean sometimes I feel better when I write something out, even though no one else will read it.

Please Spotlight this thread. TeamLiquid is one of the best forums I have ever visited, and I don't wan it to lose its sanity.

Wrong. Not surprised you don't understand.

I am a die-hard BW fan who could never get into SC2 even if all of the BW progamers have moved onto it. It's just a terrible game both to watch and play.

It's not about the players, or "E-Sports" for that matter. It's always been about Broodwar.

5/5

Proleague has begun at least its a consolation for BW fans.

Lets see what the trial decision is

very good post

a few weeks ago i was thinking about making a post on this very exact subject/reality with a more of a 'you guys are fucking idiots' tone, but ultimately i realized it was futile and not worth my time

Wait what ? What do you mean by that ? Because Kespa is still the bad monster here... Even though Blizzard should've done the ip right things long before their sc2's release (and they did multiple times afaik, just that they always found and arrangement i think), they have the right to do what they own.

For those who aren't clear about what i'm saying : I've loved the sc/bw scene since it's early stage. Remember KBK ? That's where i came from. If you don't know this era just don't bother reading it.
Kespa did so many stupid things, except maybe on the early stage but it has gotten worse since then.

I don't think you got the point of this thread. You're stiring up another flame war with this post. ;;

I think you should just take the kennigit approach and lock the thread when people cant behave cos theres nothing constructive to be discussed anyways.

Hi and thanks for the post. You're right in many things, but... I don't feel like buying or playing SC2. I don't think it has anything new. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I think Blizzard with their recent actions only made a final impact on a decision not to play SC2, because it's soething unfair they do, and I don't want to support such a company. (Anyone ready to flame, please think, is it really good of them? To backstab community that gave them their popularity in strategies? They might be right in lawyeristic terms, but i don't speak about it, i speak only about the COMMON sense and moral. So if you don't want to say that what they do is good of them - please don't write anything)

I just forgot that SC2 existed and played BroodWar until they came with all this legal actions, to be honest. It doesn't mean I was in any way hating SC2 or Blizzard. I simply didn't care that they existed, although I respect the developers and managers that were there when SC was made (most of them are not in Blizz anymore).

I just get angry at their actions. They are not right. And I can not help feeling that I dislike SC2 and all stuff they make because of this. We can't help our feelings, you know. So, I wasn't going to play sc2, but i had possibility to change my opinion, but now i don't feel it ever happens. =\

I'm not going to a war on anyone or like that, i simply want to point the people who put the blind eye on Blizz actions and say "we support them they're cool", that, in some aspect, they're wrong. In some important aspect.

And I have a perfect right to boycott SC2, don't I? That's also (vice versa) not a reason to bite MY head and go to a war on me. But, you know, I don't want to boycott or anything like that. I'd prefer to forget about existence of 2nd starcraft, only think that doesn't let me so, is Blizzard's actions. But I hope I will be able to forget about them and get more perfect Starcraft games such as was Killer vs Mind last match (and especially as was Jaedong vs Flash @ tau cross on WCG!!!! :O )

I really hope it goes this way!

And people who bought sc2, will just play it and have fun.

And about way to support the players - i asked you in that thread about suing: answer me please if you can )))
For the Swarm!!! Jaedong & Neo_G.Soulkey fan.

LOL Milkis... sorry me i am stupid... It was not you who linked me here. dammit >_<'''

So basically what I've been saying:
BTW, how can we really make our "support" go to be seen really by the players? I'd like to. For example to support Jaedong and tell him that he rocks and must become a Bonjwa. :D Please answer in comments to your post that you linked here )))
