Sorry that was me misquoting my professor with the 6k/year stat. I meant to say GDP/capita, and it's probably ignorant to extrapolate that statistic based on what others have said (rural areas, etc.)
So that's my fault, not Chef's.

The 6k figure is perfectly logical to me at least -_- it's all good what matters is that BW lives on!

My favorite memory of BW was watching Bisu upset Savior. That was beyond awesome. I've always been a huge fan of upsets by underdogs, but what made it even better was that Bisu did something never before done (arguably) and completely changed (revolutionized) the game. That really inspired me and showed me the full potential of Starcraft and gave me hope for eSports.

I really wish Blizzard just updated the graphics of SC and kept all the units the same and called it SC2. SC2 is fun but not awe-inspiring in my opinion.

I keep forgetting that I did grow up with bw. Jeez man. I was 10/11 when I got hooked. My brothers and I got it before it even came out in stores as my dad was doing some work for them at the time. amen! BW just doesn't get old.

Loool, best poll options ever.

Oh and pertaining to the thread. I don't know if I'll ever has as much fun with any game as I have had playing inny 3v3s with my friends on US East on random blizzard maps over the years (close encounters anyone?). Good times. Playing team games on sc2 hasn't been nearly as fun so far.

Bisu vs Savior was my best memory back then. I loved Bisu and nobody would think he could beat the Maestro on a bo5. I was on MSN with my best BW buddy (hi firlou <3) and we went hysterical as Savior was more and more helpess.

Watching the OSL finals live in Shanghai was intense, and I'll never forget it.

Great map. Dark continent. Labyrinth. Expedition. Killing Fields. Chain Lightning. Hidden Shrine. Tropical Seas. Garden of Aiur. Tribes. Turbo.

We need to start a TL Old School BW club and play old school blizzard maps 2v2 and 3v3 or FFA.

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? "No!" says the man in Activision, "It belongs to the holder of IP rights in another country."

I played fastest for years until I was able to macro out of dozens of gateways at a time. And then my friend showed me a replay of... I think it was Reach vs Chojja on Azalea. I remember it was a crazy long game involving tons of sair reaver action. I was like, "Omg these guys are soooo prooo." Only as I slowly learned more and more about the pro scene did I realize how true I really was.

Anyways Activision's treatment of this precious, perfect game, indeed this very franchise with some of their decisions regarding SC2... will always leave a bitter taste and an indelible resentment in me, no matter how much time I wile away playing games technically published by them.

I would love some old school community event to inspire people to play BW again, because atm I'm too dejected to play it, even though it's the best game ever.

YES xD

Although I wasn't really sick of either map until like 2001, I guess I had more tolerance than most. I still like LT despite the T imba.

Bw4life, Sc2 isn't a bad game but there are still some big issues to be the 1st RTS...
Poor map pool and no LAN for large off line tourneys are the most important =/

The lack of macro is quite sad too. When i see people with 60 apm being "high level" terrans it makes me cringe ( sorry Lucifron it is not personal ).

Anyway there is so much more talent in the bw scene so it is still more interesting. Even god plays broodwar.

[image loading]

However i really like to see some "foreign" faces in the Sc2 tourneys, so i can say that i like both games


Also just wanted to say that broodwar had WAY better UMS. Seriously i haven't found a good Sc2 UMS yet ... Only bad TD and atrocious Dota remakes.
Bw had Zone control, amazing Nexus, TMA, Micro Tourneys, Impossible scenarios, all the different Phantom games, Tarpit def, HGM, Vulture micro etc...

I have spend so much time playing those .
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

It's been 6 months. Are you seriously complaining about the lack of customs? I wonder what customs Brood War had after 6 months. Also, are you complaining about skill level as well? It's only been 6 months, nowhere near the 10 years of Brood War. Stop comparing the two and just play the game. Everything ends eventually. If it doesn't, you lose interest in it. Accept it, and stop wishing it would still be alive. Be thankful that it existed at all. If you can do something about it, do it. If you can't, don't tell people you're sad about not being able to.

Sorry for ranting in your blog.

There's always gotta be at least one SC2 fan like this in every Pro-BW thread. What has the world come to.

I play mostly Sc2 atm and your post is ridiculous.
And yea 6 months after release ( + Beta ) i expect better UMS. Sadly it seems that many good map makers from bw are gone so we are left with TD red, TD blue, TD black, TD green and SOTIS or whatever the Dota remake is called.

Also i like how you cut the part where i say that i like both games. I just think that Sc2 still need some work ( Bnet mostly ).

I don't get all these arguments like its a new game its only been so and so long, what did BW have back then? I find it strange because I would expect the sequel of a game to take all that experience that has been gathered over 10 years and get the ball rolling right off the bat. What did BroodWar have to draw from when it came out ? How can you even begin to compare the skill level of BroodWar and sc2 at the same time frame from its release, its not a brand new game in a genre where people have never played competitively online before, its been 10 years of BroodWar, a lot of people have switched to sc2, they know how to train, they know how to get good fast and they have a reason for it asides from just playing 3v3 hunters online with friends, I kind of expect it to start rolling much faster than BW did.

Im just saying I find it strange, not attacking anyone.

A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.
