EPTHoN and LoL are so similar to SC2 and BW. The incessent bitching and moaning and refusal to just accept that the two games are seperate and both have nearly infinite skill-ceilings.
Thanks for taking the time to write this

Ahem, back to topic :D I don't want BW to die and/or SC2 to die, but it seems like BW is only going to last a year T.T, I really want to be able to enjoy watching Korean BW whenever i'm sick and tired of SC2, and also enjoy constant ramblings of korean commentators ( i dont even know what the heck they say half the time), but BW has a certain kind of magic that SC2 seems to be missing. Plz dont die BW T.T i know you're in the worst state since the ESTRO and Lecaf disbandings but....... T.T I want BW to live as long as it can, and once it comes time that it finally dies, i will weep ESPORTS tears and then continue playing SC2. | ||

I agree with this, that although opinions are subjective, their validity is not. But yes, all this pointless fighting really is getting out of control. | ||

I was only 10 years old. Other people were probably middle school~college kids when I was watching the game at the city hall on the giant screen, including few adults. Usually, people really don't talk to strangers in Korea unless they find that they have something in common; because there are lots of weird people out there. But the night of Korea vs Italy. (Controversy aside) After Korea won, everyone flooded out to the streets. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM was chanting 'DAE HAN MIN GOOK'. The bus driver, who was on his duty, didn't get to see the game but was listening to the radio the hole time. Whenever he saw soccer fans, he would honk to the beat of 'Dae han min gook'. Oh, also this wasn't at Seoul; it was at nearby city called Ilsan (famous now for having MBC DreamCenter, but they didn't have MBC back in 2002). Can TL really show unification, just like the Red Devils? Only time will tell. | ||

Fluttershy is indefinitely superior to Pinkie Pie. @ op I understand that you're writing this blog mostly out of frustration over an attitude in the TL community. Trust me though, it's not going to change anything. I can't imagine anyone reading this and going "Holy crap you're right! I hope BroodWar lives!". That being said, Fluttershy > Pinkie Pie. | ||

I think most people already try to follow this sentiment from OP. TL has too large of a community to avoid some problems, but it can be improved and I think there are some signs of improvement. Though I have one pet peeve that I hope can be ended as well; don't want to disrupt the thread with it too much: + Show Spoiler + (to sc2)--please never use some equivalent variation of the phrase "I hope X finally switches! " I know a lot of the time it's just excitement, and usually isn't trying to be malicious towards sc:bw, but it is directly saying how someone is waiting for bw to die in some form. BW pros aren't just sitting around; it is still their passion, still their dream, to play the game and win championships. They'll switch if they feel the time is right; don't act as if they "finally" did something.Outright trolls will outright troll "bw is dead", etc, but even people who are new to esports and are just starting out with sc2 should respect that the sc:bw scene is still as passionate and alive as ever (these types of statements have occured for the past year, before the current problems that sc:bw is exhibiting showed up). it's just a nitpicky thing, but I absolutely hate it. | ||

Props to Imjorman who actually is trying to understand the both games.(willingly) Everyone else should consider the same or then at least act respectfully towards other games and their fans. Doesn't matter if you are a SC2 fan or Broodwar fan. | ||

If you take out the ignorance and add in people who legitimately want to argue actual game design or whatever, I think that it's progressive in a lot of ways. | ||

Two straight years of having to endure the words dying, inevitable, and transition; of neophytes crowing about Starcraft and "ESPORTS" while simultaneously hoping to cannibalize our scene, our players, our sponsors; of lawsuits hanging over us like the sword of Damocles; of Blizzard answering our elated anticipation of a sequel to The Matrix with Reloaded, and then constantly reading about how much better the special effects are; of being slowly marginalized here on TL and even having the Power Rank de-marginalized from the sidebar; of terrible, terrible damn ugh Dustin Browder dooming the design direction of the franchise; of watching every GSL final and leaving disappointed. It's a lot to take, man. It wears on you, and some people just get tired. I wish I could let it all slide and just take it for what it is, I do--but I don't know how. Listen, Kona, if you ever see a SC2 game that warms the cockles of your heart just like one from BW, maybe you could PM me about it. And then who knows, maybe I could love again. | ||
