Not really. I will still watch this last season of OSL, MSL and Proleague though. I almost wanna say that I hate broodwar now because I just want Sc2 to replace it. It had its time and now it needs to make way for the new game.
Hope is the first step on the road to dissapointment

Agreed. I probably will always play games, but my last great passion has been scbw and that isn't going to be replaced by sc2 or likely, ever.

What I really want, so so badly, is to see good bw players duke it out in sc2. It can be frustrating seeing players like whitera making mistakes korean pros just wouldn't.

When sc2 reaches the level of play bw has, I don't think I'll ever watch bw again.

Same, I have been playing tons of HoN and even started WoW lately but I started getting bored of them and am playing even less and less. In the end I find myself playing a few iccup games and watching more pro games on youtube/livestream than ever.

There's this whole "All the cool kids are sticking to broodwar dawg" thing going on, and while I respect that we all think it's a better game right now, It's totally not time to start freaking out. SC2 is the new hot shit. Of course people are going to be playing it and watching it.

A lot of people posting in here seemed to have not even given SC2 a chance ("played first mission, got bored, shit game -_-"). Totally give it a couple hours. The campaign is great and moderately challenging, and the multiplayer is fantastic. You're doing esports a favor by watching and playing it. As much as you love BW, it's archaic shit to a lot of people looking in from the outside. SC2 could get as big in NA as BW was in SK.

I hope SC2 can get to that level but it seems like its still along ways off. I am sure there gonna throw new units in when they release the zerg expansion hopefully it will sake up the game so you can see alot of action through the all the stages of the game. I think for SC2 its the mid-game that kills me because it seems like most players back off then mass without really harassing because there isn't a lot of options.

Brood War will probably die the day ICCup dies. But eventually in a while it will be resurrected by some new server! Long live BW!

Two different games.. I don't know why one has to give up on the old to play the new.. Personally I enjoy playing BW, and in a friend environment it can be so much fun. I also think that watching Broodwar is better.

I play on iccup everyday I can. I played the beta but for some reason I just didn't like it as much, so I'm a BW fan all the way.

I stopped really playing BW actively like 2.5 years ago (or maybe even more?) and only watched some pro games (on a less regular basis that I used to before) as well as TL events. Even when I was playing BW it was mostly pretty casual, I mean I played BWCL for a couple of years, but I never laddered much. I don't think I played more than 100 iCCup and more than 500 PGTour games over all those years, never really was my thing to ladder a lot.

Right now I am playing the SC2 campaign, but I don't think I will get serious about playing SC2. Probably just some casual 2v2 & 3v3. It's a great game in its own right and I can understand why people are playing it, but it will never be as special as BW is to me. Even if SC2 were a better game than BW it could never be as special to me:
BW is the game I have played the most in my life, and there will never be a game that I will play half as much as I have played BW. Hell, one of the first things I did when I went online for the first time in my life was to log onto Battle.net to play BW, and nothing has shaped the online part of my life more than this game.

Buying SC2 for the campaign mode, and to play multiplayer with a couple friends who have it. However, I'll definitely still watch the Korean Leagues (a lot more interesting to watch compared to SC2 currently, but who knows, it may improve), play BW here and there, and tell people it's still the better game :3

for example if I had 6 hours, I would play 4 and a half of StarCraft 2, and 1 and a half of brood war.
Campaign is EPIC for anyone who hasn't had it, epic videos and cinematic.

Still play and stream broodwar, and I got no plans to buy SC2 after playing beta. Don't need two RTS-games, more than pleased with the one i got. Seems a lot harder to gain points now than it was when there were more activity (at least more foreigners) than it is now, but it's still fun. The only part that sucks a bit is that it's hard to find games at C- (and up)
