SC2 is the contrary, has the money but not the community (In Korea). crowdfunding? honestly if OGN would just crowdfound their tournaments, we would have enough to finance proleague | ||

That game is old as heck! The answer is found in the community that supports it. Well, they start playing Baseball because of friends, familiy , whatever but they keep playing because they dream of fame, money, .... On August 02 2016 07:59 Chill wrote: What can we do to help?

That game is old as heck! The answer is found in the community that supports it. I get the basic idea that you're trying to convey, and I agree. Blizzard just kept throwing money at SC2 to make it an esport, but it really suffered in terms of gameplay. Hard to maintain a scene when you keep hemorrhaging players/fans who hate the gameplay. In any case, what Brood War desperately needs is money. Had Blizzard supported Brood War even half as well as they did with SC2, there's a possibility BW might even be the more popular game already (I think it will become the more popular game as we move into the future). Other than that, the Brood War community lacks a lot of foreign content. From what I've noticed in my extraordinarily short time in the BW community the past few weeks is that there is a pretty active community who love watching this game and reading articles/viewing content. Unfortunately, it seems like there just aren't a ton of English-speaking content creators out there. In other games, you have a plethora of people who do highlight reels, funny videos, editorials, streamers, etc. I would love to help there . | ||

That doesn't seem realistic at all. I think a lot of people enjoy watching it and reading, and discussing Brood War, but it doesn't seem there's actually many people playing the game in the West. And thats why there's no content creation, the Western playerbase doesn't seem to be there. I think the ideas above for crowdfunding are kinda silly, but if Blizzard really wants to earn points, they should help get Starcraft on OGN. I assume they already write checks to OGN for HOTS and Hearthstone, what's one more? As much as as we talk about the resurgence of Brood War, there's still tons of problems with getting sponsors for tournaments. | ||
