I don't really see it as a big deal, it's just an easy way to spot bad posters. In general, seeing something a lot of people (using that liberally here) die is never fun. Many of these guys saw the rise and fall of savior some saw the rise and fall of NaDa way far back. I saw neither but I enjoy BW, I don't love it like I love SC2. I could play SC2 every day if I had no other game, I am currently in a streak of work but when I have time off I play multiple games and SC2 is always top on my list for best made game. The BW guys feel that way about BW and having if die on them is like, for some, having a relative that they used to cope with and confide in when times got tough, die. That is very dramatic way of putting it, but yeah there are quite a few of them out there like that. The vitriolicism (idk if that counts as a word, but now it does) that comes from some of them is just shitty coping mechanisms that hell any one of us has. I know my coping isn't perfect, I blame myslef for everything that goes wrong and get depressed, of course that doesn't apply to BW, but you see my point. Don't let the hate ever make you curious it can only lead to die and kill standards instead of the normal live and let live that the SC2 community has adopted. | ||

It's particularly sad because it gives a really awful image of the BW fans completely unnecessarily. While I agree it's really dumb and immature, I'm still lost on how it is supposed to be insulting. | ||

Heh, reading that from someone who writes "ESPORTS" instead of e-sports, this is certainly funny. | ||

Not much more stupid than half the meme on team liquid, but it does seem to get people mad (hi heyoka !) | ||

I only use it when I'm trying to be funny, of course I bail when people take it seriously. | ||

All I remember is, some notoriously diehard SC2 fanboy, who probably spent negative amount of time trying to at least have an idea what BW is*, used it on "Unimpressed Flash Meme" thread, BW forumgoers found it funny and started using it as an insult to SC2 (like white people using the N-Word for black people). * Considering how much of a place BW had in Korean culture and the e-sports phenomenon and how highly ex-BW current SC2 progamers speak about BW, what the guy said was blatantly stupid and had no other purpose than launching a direct attack on something he doesn't know and want to spend time knowing about.

After the release of WoL, the term "BW" has been replaced by "SC1" and then "Star1" and Starcraft 2 is shortened into Star 2. The first time I heard that term was in the championship ceremony of either open season 1 or 2. The champion and Mr.Chae were refered as "Jeon Star1 Hyeon Star2 progamer" which is translated into "Former Star1, current Star2 progamer" (It is my translation and John actually translated it as "Former Starcraft 1 and now Starcraft 2 progamer"). Then, I heard that term a lot during OGN's WCG casts. That term was used a lot back then, probably for explaining SC2-specific stuff. | ||
