This is absolutely depressing. I knew Brood War was going to die, maybe slowly or quickly, but I knew it would. I just didn't think it would crumble like this. Hmm, maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, I hope it won't end like this.

Rumors should be taken with a grain of salt. Unless there is no reliable source that is.

Rekrul has to step up and reveal truth to the masses.

This actually looks too bad and unbelievable to be true. I suspect its just a rumor, nothing else. Maybe this guy is just a troll or, as exeexe said, attention whore.
I'm waiting for some official info.

People shouldn't be so hasty rushing to conclusions. Those are only rumors from some unknown guy who might have an interest in BW crumbling. The timing looks quite a bit suspicious to me.

While these are only rumours, I dearly hope that they are not true

I agree with other members that we shouldn't be jumping to conclusions, guess we should wait it out and see what really happens.

well, he predicted Coach Chos "retirement" pretty well

So he can't be a completly clueless troll and seems to have some insider knowledge

Or maybe just the fact we're witnessing probable bw death makes things look so unrealistic and distorted.

Considering the kind of figures I met when I was there, all this mega corruption could be very real and not limited to a handful of players.

Now Korean netizens are like n°1 world gossip community,so this anonymous revelation thing doesn't sound too crazy, as they love it so much.

Only because Korean pro gaming scene exists acting sort of a beacon.

no. Just no. Actually death of korean bw scene IS death of broodwar. The rest of the world is already clearly seems to be accepting SC2, and if the korean scene dies, there wont be anything, cause all international events will be SC2 and not BW. The korean scene is the last pillar that holds the attention and interest of the rest of the world, that keeps BW going elsewhere. It is a 10 year old game.
