Not to mention the irrationality of wanting something you enjoy ending faster. Now, it's your own opinion, and I have mine, but the thing is there are people that still want to watch BW. You don't even know the number of the Koreans that share the sentiment. Saying that BW needs to die now is... in lack of better word, preposterous. | ||

Of course, it'd be much much preferable for players who are currently qualified for a BW tournament to practice for the game they are actually playing on TV instead of for an as-yet non-existent hybrid Proleague. The fact that teams are apparently mandating SC2 practice instead disgusts me a little actually. Have some respect for your players and allow them to give their best in what's possibly the final pro BW tournament. | ||

Compared to ZvZ and PvP in SC2 Is far from a comparison that furthers your point. I've actually been looking forward to a real test of "unimpressed Flash" memes and, more importantly, the elephant in the room that has been foretold. | ||

Personally I didn't follow the BW scene for a long time. I first got into SC2, but then I started to get interested in BW and followed its scene a bit. The few games of BW that I have seen have been amazing, breathtaking back and forth tactical and strategical master pieces. In m short time with BW it has left a lasting impression on me, and it truly saddens me that its glorious run has to end someday. However my opinion, and probably that of the OP as well is that, it should end sooner. They should just run one last full BW OSL and have a grand goodbye celebration to commemorate it, no half SC2 and half BW tournament. It would just dilute the level of play from each game, which would be a pity. BW should always be remembered in its full glory, for the epic confrontations between Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, Fantasy, Jangbi and Stork, for the reigns of Nada, Savior (pre scandal), iloveoov and for all the rivals that stood against them. I couldn't bare to see BW played at a lower level, so I would prefer it to go out with a bang, rather then wither away until I hate on how low the skill level reaches. | ||

As for the people who berated your blog without actually reading it, and obviously just skimming it or misunderstanding, well haters gonna hate. Ignore them, keep up the good work. Good blog, but I'll still miss BW : ( | ||

Brood War cannot go on forever, let it be replaced by a game with lesser game play because it is more aesthetically appealing. I mean, that first statement makes so much sense that I just want to switch to Starcraft 2 right fucking now. "Game graphics are getting better therefore better games will be developed". I made the same connection, because who wants 2D games who actually function better and are more interesting as far as game play dynamics anyway. It's better that we get to see a bunch of sprites overlap so that we're not too sure what's in the army, but holy shit does it ever look nice when it blows up! Secondly, I totally agree that ZvZ and PvP in BW are entirely luck based, Jaedong just happened to have a weighted die... Perfectly normal that I flip heads 86% of the time I'd say. I don't really have any concrete examples that prove PvP is luck based, but I'm sure you can all find some in TLPD. Past your entry two paragraphs I actually sincerely(non-sarcastically) agree with the rest, but, your entire blog should have been without the opening statements about the game itself... because it just makes you look like an idiot when the remainder of your blog is actually pretty legit, thus people won't read through it if they're BW fans, also, the title already incites rage. So, aside from the minor issues with the blog/identifying and addressing your audience, you have some valid points, however, one could argue that SC2 needs to die for exactly the same reasons... Thus, moot point, but at least it's less of an offensive argument and you're actually presenting stuff that makes sense. Just take into account when you post stuff like this, you don't have to convince SC2 fans, thus the BW fans should be your primary audience and given that it's a pitiful approach to say the least. Similarly, my post is also a terrible attempt to make a point with you, however, given that my primary point is to identify what you did wrong here, I'd say it's alright. | ||

Let's just say that every good thing has come to an end but we are not in the position to give that command right now as kespa is having one more season of broodwar than it is really over for us bw fans and some of us may stick around to watch the really amazing sequel of sc2 take flight or possibly see it crashing down because of few minor technicalities that occur . I really hope that sc 2 is actually preparing to overhaul it's over all game play and make it more enjoying to be a spectator of the game like broodwar . Still I will remember that broodwar did not die because of sc2 but the decision of kespa and sponsor who forced broodwar cornered in to this position . I will go around moping like a sad puppy but I think I will be able to get over it soon . Finally I just want to state that there has never been a game played globally at this level of popularity of broodwar . It went down fighting and not died of like some coward . In my attempt to feel really moody about all this situation this song really describes my feeling over the situation that is happening right now .. | ||
