You're probably saying this because of WCG or something like that, The Koreans don't particularly care about WCG compared to pro league/msl/osl because it's not as prestigious. While they have to say things like "we hope to have another korean rep but the competition is stiff" everyone unofficially knows that Koreans will rape any foreign competition and the gold/silver will be in korean hands. The WCG is just another sign that the foreign BW scene is almost gone. So that leaves BW in korea. Now i believe that in future many factors will whither it out. Factors such as how hard it will be to even get started in BW, great money popping up everywhere for SC2 tourneys, who knows how the blizzard kespa thing will turn out. There is more incentive for new players to begin sc2, and the amount of pros playing BW will fall. I hope im wrong though. He says saying that bothers him, so you say it >_< umm no... he said he hates when people say its dead/should die.. i said that i believe it is dying. I dont want it to die, and i know it isnt dead. I just think it is dying. Note i truly hope my feelings are wrong, as i very much enjoy both, but i agree with the harry potter reference that was made. | ||

Edit: All in all the whole thing is stupid so I've just refrained from posting at all in most threads. Lurker ftw. | ||

I love both scenes, but I absolutely can't stand some of the crap that goes on in the BW forums. BW forums have better LR threads by far but in the general section, any mention of liking SC2 as well gets countless replies of elitist stupidity. I gave up trying to appeal to the BW only crowd a long time ago because the fact that I think SC2 is a worthy sequel discredits my entire posts to them. I suppose I'm able to tolerate the "BW should die" idiots easier but at least I don't have to appeal to the SC2 crowd simply because I watch BW also. Its just tough for people who know that BW is the best game ever to cope with the fact that SC2 is taking away all the best foreigners from their scene. Its not elitism. Make a topic in the BW forums asking for help or something. Everyone will help as much as they can and usually do their best to help you. | ||

Sometimes I do feel like saying something elitist and patronizing to people who joined from WC3 or for SC2 but then I also try to stamp down on that urge and tell myself not to be a dumbass. This system mostly works for me. Mostly. Now I find that the more I can control my urge to respond to SC2 vs. BW posts that annoy me, the less those posts actually annoy and I can just easily ignore them. | ||

Well maybe we just have different understandings of elitism. I would view an elitist attitude as being one that doesn't allow new players to join. | ||

Whatever,most people don't justify the points they make,as for yourself I can understand your points but aloy of guys react to sc2 like the kt coach reacted to savior's stream. | ||

I play SC2 because it's a fun game, I'd probably play BW if there was no SC2. They can both be fun to watch or extremely boring to watch & I do watch quite alot( both). I seriously don't understand taking any sides. Sometimes the veryvery newbie SC2 guys comments can be quite hilarious though, especially if they are about anything BW. | ||

So because it is my opinon that StarCraft 2 is only a mediocre decent game, while StarCraft is awesome, you will punch me in the face? very mature I didn't choose my opinion... my opinion was a reaction to playing the games if this was in response to my post, i re-read mine and dont think i portrayed my thoughts correctly. Yes clearly everyone has their opinion and thats fine, but it is when people belittle others of their opinions (for example sc2>bw) is when the elitist attitude is shown, and a punch to the face may be warranted. see for me BW outside korea is dead,literally nothing,just mu(japanese) since TSL2 and since then whenever I heard someone say BW is dying I want to kick them in the face with my spiked shoes. fair enough. Question : how do you think BW is going to fair over the next few years? Less pros playing and less up and coming new players? | ||

For foreigners, I imagine most of the SC2 players will switch back to BW within 2 years. In korea, there is still lots of up and coming new players. | ||

Some pro SC2 players said they enjoyed BW better but they play SC2 because it is popular all around the world, but I doubt they'll switch back because they know they'll never win anything except for foreigners only tournaments  . | ||
