Mvp, MC and Nestea aren't dominating as much as back when SCII was first released. Rain(formely By.Sun) won first SCII OSL after bursting onto the scene taking out amazing players only to be stopped by mvp in a close 3-2 series. Maru beat Rain in second SCII OSL 4-2 and claimed the victory. Life isn't doing as well anymore(LoL is playing a role). Flash has improved greatly at SCII and keeps making RO16 only to get close to RO8 then lose the last game(he lost last night against Maru/Parting/Kangho). Stork said he won't quit yet, finally made the Code A qualifiers and is up against Yoda. KeSPA has taken a new stance in that they are the major body for esports and anyone can join them. They can help you promote and if you join, you can make decisions with them. With most things changing to SCII, BW scene is now entirely made up of SOSPA events like SSL/SRT run by Sonic which are featured on snipealot's stream and players streaming on afreeca. Lots of BW players have retired such as Bisu, Jangbi, Best, Jaehoon, s2, mind etc... They stream BW on afreeca: http://multitwitch.tv/snipealot/snipealot1/snipealot2/snipealot3.

He's won the last 2 TLSs and TLS 3 is currently ongoing on the weekend(Saturday and Sunday). Also, new BW server called starserver is in the works. Should have automatic port forwarding, automatic matchmaking etc... This should help you catch up  Sounds like I should start playing league of legends now instead of SC2 haha.
My advice: play what your heart tells you. You can't do wrong

Not planning to give BW another go or are moving over to SCII for sure? If not BW, hope you still watch TLS and SRT whenever you get the chance ^^

Does anyone know why Twitch isn't saving my streams under my videos? Having an archive of my games to watch as an improvement tool is one of the biggest reasons I'm streaming!

Nah my BW days are over, if I can't focus on it hardcore it isn't really that entertaining for me, and I would rather put all my energy into SC2! Might play a bit of iccup sometime for fun though :D

I've never tried streaming so I'm not sure but there must be a setting or a checkbox under settings for save videos or something. Just a guess though lol
