I've always wondered how many foreign pro-gamers like Idra, Jinro, Ret, and etc. are nostolgic about BW.
I mean there are D,D+ players who are coming back from SC2, and if those people, who weren't even that exceptional at the game, are feeling like coming back, I can only imagine how much the Bs and As, who were actually damn good at a game thats sooooo hard to be good at, feel like they want to come back.

Unfortunately there is no patch to fix DirecDraw crashes under win7.

Blizzard promised BW players a patch to run BW in win7.I'm surprised this blog hasn't gone south,I guess a lot of SC2 fans are super optimists,its good,they love the game and so do I and they want it to give BW a run for its money.Healthy competition eh?

I asked Liquid`Tyler on his stream last night and he said he has no feelings at all for BW, and I think WhiteRa is playing BW again too.

also are you guys still playing games on bnet?

I wouldn't expect any SC2 pro, let alone a Liquid member, to say in public that he wants to go back to BW.
I thought too that a lot of SC2 pros were completely into SC2 until Idra said it was otherwise.

On topic: Yes, I play both games, and blizzard just tries to make the game easier and easier so they can farm noobs. Otherwise, 3k masters wouldn't be the equivalent of D+ on iccup, which really is. I have been playing more sc2 and less bw lately, I don't watch BW streamers too much (except sayle lol

I thought that telecom played protoss in BW so I prefer to watch a sc2 zerg over a bw protoss because i'm zerg in both games), but iccup is fucking back. So am I.

BW is basically unplayable. It's got terrible resolution, it requires so many fixes for you to run it on win7, there's no matchmaking, it requires antihack, separate application to get on iccup. There's no MBS, autocasting, automining, the difficulty curve is vertical and everyone is gosu.

Sadly, it's a superior game but I'll be playing SC2 while watching BW.

so basically, what you're saying is you want to put in no effort and get all the rewards?[/QUOTE]
That's what I wanted to say, but you're faster. By 2 weeks.
