To be honest, it's kind of dumb. (I'm not trying to stir anything or insult anyone.) Well it's not that we dont want to play. We do, but not in our current shape. ToT was all about winning and having fun, but we dont want to be a semi-good team. Being the best means you have to practice like the best, which requires time, not something everyone got laying around these days  | ||

Foreign Broodwar scene "finally" dying out makes me really sad . Let`s hope SC2 will be a worthy successor.I remember Mondragon saying a pretty long time ago (2008?) that ToT will be abandoned after SC2 comes out. I think it would be incredibly sweet if they transitioned into SC2. Were there any news on that? | ||

To be honest, it's kind of dumb. (I'm not trying to stir anything or insult anyone.) If you put it that way, yes - this is dumb. But if you try to understand them and why they switched - not necessarily. If someone enjoys SC2 so much and SC1 is not that fun anymore - why play SC1? Force yourself to go play SC1 again just because some random person doesn't want SC1 to die even though it lacks excitement to you? | ||

In BW the whole mouz lineup was the very very top non korean players. Also, you judge people based on so little information. Get #1 in a plat division and people might take you more serious, but as of right now when your stating your beating people left and right is quite ridiculous. | ||

And tons of people playing. Yes SC2 will be bigger, at first at least, but that doesnt mean sc1 was dead by any measure. | ||

You obviously don't know how many that played SCBW, I even heard some random people talking about their SCBW clanwar on the bus which I had never seen or heard about (and I know pretty most of the swedish scbw scene) | ||

At the end of February TL concluded one of the largest BW foreigner tournaments ever. It spanned four months from the ladder stage (which was open to anyone who wanted to play) to the final match. An amazing team of dedicated administrators, designers, programmers and casters made the tournament matches available to anyone who wanted to watch, and for a solid month we watched incredible BW games every weekend. I don't understand how you can be here, posting on this forum, which is a representation of the BW community, and think it is dead. It blows my mind. Not to mention the ICCup server, which hosts a ladder that resets every three months and is in its twelfth season. Then there's Liquipedia, the premiere strategy database for SC:BW, that has already given birth to Liquipedia II, which is building itself piece by piece as Blizzard builds SC2. These things speak of a living community, not a dead one. | ||

We (EG) all play SC2 and currently BLOW at scbw so showing up to the clanwars has been more of a formality.. I completely understand what ToT is doing here. SC2 is the future guys. Every team that wants a piece of that future is going to work at it.. not scbw sadly ;( | ||

Too bad this is happening but it was unavoidable I guess | ||

To be honest, it's kind of dumb. (I'm not trying to stir anything or insult anyone.) its impossible to be good at bw if you are playing sc2 all day because the hotkeys are different and the macro is a lot different and the unit hotkeys, it totally messes you up and if you are used to sc2 then bw is just annoying lol. Also the thing about sc2 is that everyone sucks right now, all the top foreigners know that its 100% impossible for them to get any better at bw, and even if they do... well whats the point they do not want to move to korea. If u had a beta key you would realize it anyways... sc2 >>>> bw and bw will die the day sc2 is released ^^ | ||

Soo true. I remember a friend that just played the beta, then faced off in a TvP on BW. First he saw a zealot getting through his block and thought "whatever, i will just outmicro it". Then he saw the dragoon walking past the block.... | ||

SC2 I think is giving a great showing and they are wise to focus their attention to the future of the StarCraft scene. I honestly think this is a good thing, but maybe it's my perspective | ||

GL everyone in the sequel I suppose. I really hope they improve the game though. If everyone leaves for SC2 and it doesn't last or it has even a fraction of the problems it has now, well, it'll be a damn pity. | ||
