Outside of korea, it's popularity was magnified by a lot of BW-elitists. This magnification is enhanced by TL since it is a pro-BW site. The simple truth is that other games are now more popular than BW - LoL is definitely a big craze and SC2 is also ahead of it. The simple truth of people wanting to watch pros playing the game they are playing. | ||

And man, SC2 is so sucessful in Korea, it totally took over from BW, invading the PC Bangs and taking all the fans away from watching BW! SC2 didn't kill anything. It hasn't been that successful in Korea yet and it most certainly hasn't invaded the PC Bangs. I don't know what the hell you're talking about, lmao. If anything it's MOBA and F2P. | ||

That that, It was an amazing game the only bad thing was the absolutely grueling amount of time and effort required to keep up at pro level, not healthy at all. | ||

Japanese people even call manga and Anime a niche market in their country. Wrestling is a niche market worldwide. ._. | ||

Esports is older than BW. I played Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 competitively back in 1997. I got to number 6 on cases 1v1 ladder and that was esports to me. I lived it and I loved it. There were top teams (the infamous KRT who dominated the game early on). There were no sponsors, there were less people, but that didn't mean it wasn't Esports. So no, BW didn't save Esports, Esports has been around as long as two people could compete against each other in a video game. Esports has grown into something much bigger and varied, there is more money involved and more people involved and BW and the Korean scene was a huge part of that. As is SC2. | ||

Don't know but what you just said wasn't enough to say that bw didn't save e-sports and such. Nobody took e-sports as serious as the koreans did, these pro gamers are actually considered to be working class people and they have accessed to tax cut,health and other privileges a normal working class will normally receive. | ||

wait the fans are ESPORTS? and I am pretty sure it is obvious that BW survived because of the fans, or even better: The purpose of ESPORTS is to entertain the fans. | ||
