Looks like everyone is moving to SC2


Seriously, why would you even post this? It's a spit in the face to everyone that values the BW scene. It's not like you are just expressing happiness that Effort's moving over (which he isn't, according to the OP); your post relishes the idea that BW progaming might die. At least keep that shit to your side of the forums.


Why are you causing problem for no reason? What about the BW die hards who enjoy both scenes? People like you are creating a rift in the community between the old and the new.

It's not an us against them mentality. We both enjoy similar games and scenes.


Yes, I am against someone that wants "everyone" to move to SC2. Read my post. It wasn't an attack against people that were happy about individual people like Boxer moving over.

I'm causing a problem because it upsets me that someone would come into a BW forum and put a smiley face next to the idea of BW dying. It's rude as hell.

gotta say, i'm all for this decision. you'd have to think the chances he never wins another starleague are better than the chances of winning another one, so what's left to prove? good way to go out, imo. best of luck to him

Shocking! But sounds like a good decision for himself, I want to see where he ends up.

guys, do keep in mind that this is the proleague post-season, where all of this stuff tends to take place. while the advent of sc2 is certainly a leading cause in these decisions thus far, the frequency of retirements etc is far more closely related to the proleague offseason. that's how pro bw goes, don't think too much of it!

Steve I like your post and its contents and I really really want to believe, but I simply don't.

Yeah, depending on how trades end up, we're currently looking at this (in no particular order):

KT - yellow and reach are home, baby.
SKT - v1.1, now w/ more ling all-ins.
STX - about the same.
WeMade - about the same.
Khan - about the same.
Woongjin - -kwanro.
CJ - new coach, -effort.
MBC - new coach
Oz - new coach, anytime.
Hite - still a mess from last season.
ACE - rock, fbh and ggaemo, lol.
eSTRO - possibly gone altogether
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

Probably a good decision. He has an OSL trophy to commemorate his days with BW, now he can get on with 'real life' and maybe study one of his passions. I will miss his play, though. One of my all-time favourite zergs to watch.
