Not only are you associating yourself with BW veterans when you joined TL two years ago (yes, join date on TL is a sacred thing), but you're also categorizing whole BW community with couple of comments from LR threads... (and except that first comment, other two comments have nothing to do with being a BW fan). Sure, BW fans are angry and bitter that the professional BW scene which they watched and loved for last ten years is gonna be no more. But we're mostly angry at the fact that it's not dying a natural death (loss of interest), but it's being killed by various, unnatural reasons (match fixing etc.). So while I'm not defending people who post stuff like that first comment you quoted, I'd just like you to realize where they're coming from. This is also pretty childish. So whoever sends you angry PMs and 1/5 this blog is... proving you right? Give me a break. And I in turn think its childish to pretend that the fact you joined a little bit earlier than the OP makes you more important or something. Heck, you don't see me swinging around my e-weiner because I started playing sc in a time where Nazgul was still to be spotted in NLD-1, where ret was still known as .pr.ide and where the existence of really good players from Korea was only recently being discovered. My point is: I hate the "I've been here longer then you" arguments. Also I think that the OP is somewhat right. | ||

There is no doubt that it is the rise of SC2 that is killing the korean bw scene No, it is the rise of LoL. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Im not implying every elitist veteran as assholes, I just took it from op Poll: Would you rather be called Elitist assholes, who blames everything to their sibling? (40) Beacon of excellence, who help nourish the young sc2 to become a better game? (13) 53 total votes Your vote: Would you rather be called (Vote): Elitist assholes, who blames everything to their sibling? I understand that sc2 is young and needs time to balance, I also hope that the kespa transition will help innovate the game. As for now, I will cherish the last bw season. + Show Spoiler + PS: I dont have sc2 and I hope DB doesnt screw things up after LotV and turn this to another C&C game. | ||

And usually I'm the only person posting time after time to myself, I'm not really sure where all the SC2 bashing comes in? Unless thats my unusual LR. I hate how the game I've loved for as long as I can remember is coming to an end, I watch star2 as much as I can to try and find something that'll try and get me a portion of what I enjoyed from the early days, even now. The voices of the few, don't reflect the many. If OGN just scrapped BW, took a season off and brought back straight up StarCraft 2 Proleague, and OSL, I'd be a little happier about this, I don't enjoy the hybrid league, but I live with what I there is. tldr; Sure some BW elitists want Star2 to die, not all of us want to act like children. Sure star2 fans are rubbing it in our faces that our game is dying, take it, show them what we enjoyed, those who take the time to look, help them bring out the full potential in star2. We all need to respect each other more. | ||

Fuck everyone who does that. BW fans should let other BW fans know that's not cool, and same with SC2 fans. Yeah, a big part of my life is coming to a close, but that doesn't mean I get to viciously attack others. What the hell is wrong with people? | ||

Which proves my point. Do you think I care how successful SC2 is in Korea? No. Why do you assume I care about all RTS? I already said that BW was dying long before LoL came into Korea with the match fixing, ip lawsuits, and the release of the sequel SC2. I spouted long before about LoL's success, and I had no bad feelings for it because it did not affect BW. As I said to another guy regarding hurting BW by supporting LoL, "It's already dead! You cannot hurt what is already dead." | ||

Something that a lot of people loved has been taken away. Instead they try to forcefeed us something inferior instead. People are upset about it, how can you not understand this? | ||

I really really do. But it still isn't the fault of the fans of SC2, if anything blame blizzard and kespa. Taking it out on the fans of SC2 is spiteful and wrong. I said at least 3 times that SC2 killed bw. "I'm angry" is not an excuse for being poisonous. I get being angry. Its a poor excuse though. | ||

Nothing will be able to bring back the joy of following those BW tournies. But this grief aside, I agree that there's no point being overly bitter about it and actually attacking SC2 fans for their game stealing the thunder of its predecessor. Although it is a bit annoying when sc2 fans don't know their history and don't realise WHY koreans are so incredibly respected in this game series, always trying to push focus onto foreigners and getting angry when people who came from bw keep mentioning koreans! I mean, TL after all was always the site which focused on the best players regardless of race (which obviously were all korean) and GosuGamers who constantly went on about foreigners. | ||
