I didn't know for long but you left a good enough impression on me to know why you love this particular set so much.

for your sake and mine, I hope (P)mini or (T)Bogus royal road man.

HOLY SHIT GUYS. A GAME THAT'S 10 YEARS OLD IS FINALLY BEING REPLACED BY A GAME THAT'S IT'S SEQUEL!

But seriously, I want to thank all the BW fans (especially you, OP) for creating a foundation for Starcraft 2 to stand on. I know my quote and reply make me sound like an asshole, but I'm being serious. Without BW fans, we would have to start from scratch and that would be messy.

Dear AOLScreenName999,

BW is 14 years old. I'm pretty sure it is older than you.

On a more related to the OP note, I would not come to TL for anything but the General and Blog Sections, for different amusement purposes, if I didn't have a vested interest in pursuing the life of white BW. There is not enough new content to outweigh the random SC2 players whom were the 12 year old WoW players when I was reaching adulthood as a BW player. This site was built on BW, and everything to do with e-sports was. This site can also be credited for founding white e-sports for RTS (as a majority). Unfortunately, now worth millions, and being "TEAM" Liquid, they had to move on to SC2.
SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

I mean, the only reason it is "falling" is the fact that it is being replaced from a successor of the same name and same company, which should dispel the idea that such an esports legacy can be so easily displaceable (if SC2 never came, would BW last forever? maybe).

I don't know, though, perhaps this whole "farewell" movement corresponds to the same growing up of people, who once when were younger and following esports, now have grown up and gotten their other jobs and families without time for starcraft. That said, it obviously doesn't apply to all or even a majority, and perhaps does not have an overt effect, but it may certainly be a factor.

That said, the new scene would do well to remember its past, and I'm glad that figures like BoxeR have jumped over to keep the lineage going.

In the hearts of those of us who love(d?) it, BW will never die. Like those amazing days of childhood, the time you spent enjoying BW and the matches of those who played it will stay with you. If you choose to leave here, don't hang your head. If you've gained any joy from your time here, treasure that, and don't worry if the inevitable has proven inescapable.

You say you were here for Bisu v Savior? Then may you never believe in the impossible. For those of us who were here longer, we may always keep other moments with us. From the OSL finals between iloveoov and Boxer we can always be reminded that the joy of defeat may at times be sweeter than the agony of victory. To those who watched Savior's trek through seasons of ridiculous map pools they may take the lesson that a champion doesn't spend his time bemoaning an abyssmal road to climb, he simply climbs. Those privy to Anytime's OSL victory can walk away knowing things don't always turn out as planned (no matter how honorable the subject of that plan is). And those who have watched Flash can comfort themselves with the knowledge that even perfection may not always be perfect.

On the one hand, I understand you wanting to leave if there's no more BW for you to watch, but on the other hand this is one of the few places where you'll find people who understand the importance of BW to those who love it. Your choice.

Inspiring post
Stop browsing and do whatever it is you're supposed to do. TL will still be here when you get back

@shaftofpleasure where ever you are going if you find something that is good and has nothing to do with starcraft . Remember to pm me the location and I will follow you . Time to move on to some where else and the world out there . Back packing sounds fun ....
