I'm a little late because I didn't notice it at first but here is my 500th post blog! I really just am making this to thank the whole Broodwar TL community because you guys are so great. SC2 was my first video game ever(read it. NOT RTS. Video game) mostly because I was busy in my earlier years playing piano and practicing guitar and violin. Once I got to high school my parents stopped caring whatever I did so I decided I would try this game who's advertisement I had seen on youtube. I played and loved it so much I almost missed a day of piano practice(lol not happening).
Then, when I was over at my cousins house, I learned about BW. I was slightly annoyed at myself for not starting that game earlier because I could tell pretty quickly what I had been missing. I played BW only from that point on and I have to say, it is so amazing! I was so passionate about the game that first month or so, I quickly got myself banned from TL twice (the second time for a whole month) for trolling the SC2 forums. I now watch about every BW pro-game I can and I play as much as I can. I started out at E but I have now reached the illustrious rank of D!
I just want to conclude by saying this game is the greatest thing ever and I hope as a pianist I will still have time to watch and play this game. PLEASE no matter how bad things look for BW EVER, don't stop playing. I KNOW that it is an amazing thing, really competition unrivaled in any other game(I am 1700 USCF so you can trust me ) and the best ALWAYS rise to the top.
Broodwar for ever.

Ah, one of the surviving BW players. Never play SC2, you won't be able to go back to BW after playing it.

I would give you a cookie, but [image loading] ate them all!

But on the more serious note, the way I saw you frantically defending BW in every thread possible, I never thought that you were a SC2 player originally. Puts things in different perspective.

Also, a bit of a friendly advice. Stop being so insecure about BW's future that you have to keep telling everyone (even yourself) that BW will never die. Instead of that, just keep playing it, like me and many other people do and stop worrying

It comes from my OCD nature. I really cannot help it.

I honestly couldn't wait to get back to BW after playing SC2 for a few days.

And congratulations etheovermind, you have discovered the best game of all time!

Ok, if you don't win your first few games in SC2, then it is easy to go back to BW, but SC2 gets addicting quickly.

I played 600 games of SC2. I won about 50 percent of them. I switched to BW and it wasn't that hard.

*Sigh*

If you sucked at BW and are good at SC2, then it is hard to go back.

Thanks for making me look like an idiot T_T

You sir just earned yourself an easy 5 for your blog =D

Good to see people still playing BW (even though i don't do so myself, not enough time/patience) and keeping up with the greatest esport in the world.
