SC2 is not SC1, its a different game entirely with similar stuff, i think ppl just like it cuz its flashy atm, but it does have its own reason for its appeal

I've been watching SC1 games for a few years, long before I even registered an account here on TL. Right now I mainly play SC2 but I will always keep up with the SC:BW esports scene. Never been much of a competitive BW player.. but I have never gotten tired or bored of watching BW games. I'm actually watching a VOD right now lol.

The thing that made me a starcraft fan was the level of skill required to be good in this game so I still watch the korean A teamers and will watch it until is over.. so SC2 doesnt cut it for me so if broodwar dies I will retired xD

I've been playing BGH exclusively for 6 years now. Now if in 6 years I didn't get bored of a single fucking map, how will I ever get bored of the whole fucking game? (Hint: I won't.)

Decided since of all the commotion of SC2, i reinstalled SC1. I have to say I had a fucking blast, Sunken D, Nexus Wars, Evolves. It never get old.... Surprised to see a good deal of people still playing starcraft 1. Wonder when Blizzard decides to shut down Battle.net....

Ugh you guys make it sound like it's a religion and you can only have one. Why not play both BW and SC2? Is that such a crime? Maybe just play custom SC2 games with your friends? Why does change scare you people so much?

Qwerty.

I have both installed and play both concurrently; pubs on Asia in BW (not good enough for iccup now), laddering/friends in SC2!

Man, iCCup is so hard now. I don't even try anymore. All I do is troll people with retarded builds every game like 1hatch lurk, 12pool 2hatch lurk into 2gas defilers, gas first into 1base carriers, dt drop into 2base carriers, etc.

"You can't honestly feel good winning like this" ^^ But about your OP: I haven't gotten SC2 because the economy blows and I'm in(possibly) the worst state in this country and can't find a job. But when the time comes I'll get SC2 if not for the story. I still want to invest more time into BW. I've been on the cup for less than a year and can't even get to D+!(I'm a terran...know my pain)

until.... Flash, JD, Stork, Nada, Reach, Bisu, FBH... and our little YUM BO SUNG moves to SC2. Then I will move.

I agree. After playing Starcraft 2 and watching some SC2 replays(with commentary), I felt nostalgic about SC1(still am). I mean I know it's still going on but eventually(or maybe not? I do not know) SC1 will be gone and all we have left is SC2(no reavers, valkyries, dark archons, insane ghost micro lockdown on 8 BCs, and/or etc). Well I'm not sure and it probably won't be as bad as it sounds(as long as everyone moves to SC2, if SC1 ever does die off).

[If Blizzard ever releases all SC1 units(for the map editor), soundsets, and portraits, I'll totally add all those units in for some fun SC1 + SC2 unit custom melee map fun.]

I don't play either SC or SC2, but just watch VODs and replays. As a spectator sport, Brood War is much better, and takes more skill. When BW progamers move to SC2 and play competitively at the highest level, IMO, will be probably the only way to see if it's worthy of BW's prestige as an e-sport.

I don't like SC2.

In fact there is absolutely nothing about SC2 that I find better than BW.

So, yah, I'm still doing some Icup from time to time. When BW dies, I'll just stop playing RTS and that will be it.
