It's clearly not because I'm bored of the game, but just thinking that there won't be new awesome KeSPA maps, no friends to chat with between the games, no progamer to emulate, ... I don't know, I guess I feel just like the same as you... Sorry for not giving any advice  | ||

Por ejemplo: el éxito que tiene SC2 es posible solamente por el impacto que Broodwar dejó en su comunidad. Ahora SC2 ha crecido tanto que ha logrado reemplazar Broodwar por completo. ¿Has intentado jugar SC2? Yo lo empecé a jugar hace dos o tres días (dejé de jugar Broodwar), y tengo que admitir que no es malo para nada. ¡Deberías probarlo! i play sc2 sometimes. im platinum right now | ||

Anyhow, less of that and more onto the point of the post, if you feel there is no point in pursuing BW, then think about the users who create stuff for you to do in BW and how desperately they try to answer the same question. Bottom line is, they don't. If you ask yourself why should I be motivated to do this? Then you'll never be satisfied with anything you do. Brood War is not dead to me, Brood War will be dead to me at some point, but not because people cease to play it, but because I will cease to play it. I understand your strong attachment to your team and helping people out, "eOn the coach" is a perfect example of this and probably why you're struggling, if your team is demotivated, pick up some rookie players and help them help you or simply attempt to find value in training yourself rather than others. Don't consider yourself to be fighting for anything, there's no enemy, there's no fight. We play BW for fun, we're not "fighting" anything. There are many different alternatives to try out obviously, however, telling yourself you are demotivated but still attached is probably the worse thing you can do to yourself. You're an important member of the community evidently, holding a leadership position of a top team, however, I encourage you to either stop thinking about lack of motivation and/or distancing yourself from the game itself and stop thinking about it, because as much as I would like to convince you to stay in the Brood War scene, I have to consider you to be a human being, thus I suggest what is best for you. It's not healthy for anyone to remain torn over any two things. I mean, this message may seem silly to some people because "love for BW + lack of motivation for BW", it seems so trivial, but it's not. It really isn't just based on the sheer amount of time that was put into it. | ||

Honestly, people have been saying that BW is dying for years now, and while I agree that losing the korean scene is a heavy blow, it is by no means the end of BW -- even though a lot people will try to tell you otherwise. The foreign scene has a surprisingly (to me anyway) deep talent pool, ICCUP and Fish are still up, there are still thousands of active players, and people picking up BW for the first time in their lives. There's no point in gloating about stuff neither of us can change, so focus on the constant instead, aka Brood War. The game is just as good, if not better, than it was a year ago. In short: whatever happens happens, but BW will still be as exciting and fun, regardless of whatever happens around the globe  | ||

Edit : For the lack of motivation it is an issue for me too that is because for me proleague broodwar was what hype me to play the game to give it a go second time even though it's hard .Since having some one to model after and emulate their play style is always some thing good to use as reference . I find comfort that I can see my self being a wannabe stork, turtle flash, Kwanro a little in me when I pull off tactics that shouldn't have work in this current age . In the end I think it's affecting all of us bw fans who have been around and are here for proleague bw and that is I am hoping that an amateur scene could replace the now defunct bw scene and bw will still be kicking for years to come . | ||

I know BW was the game of my life but we gotta move on. Nothing last forever and just remember the good times you had till now and try to find another game to enjoy. For myself I watch more Dota 2 than BW lately and I'm enjoying it alot even tho I havent played Dota 2 at all and the last time I played Dota was 5 years ago. | ||

I'll watch foreign event as long as there are some. And as a foreign player, what really was the influence of korean progamer on the pleasure of playing the game ? As long as there are players to play the game, I don't see why you should quit. Of course if everybody does the same as you, it will be harder =) Well all in all, there's one reason to keep playing : the game is still good. | ||
