Don't worry guys, we can be as cool as this guy for next 15 years.


I don't see the irony here. StarCraft 1 did have a beta.

Some people prefer not to be a Blizzard fanboy sheep and prefer to not pay $180 for a freaking video game.?

Yeah we call them hipsters.



No wonder BW is dying when the fanbase has been reduced to that above, ignorance at its finest, name calling and outright lying just to make SC2 look bad. Yea Blizzard charged 60$ for SC2 and will do so for the next 2 expansions?!

Hipsters? Son you dont even have a clue what that means do you? Hipsters dont play RTS games, the idea is absurd its calling wannabe gangstas fanboys of vollyball or some crap like that

I just cannot believe how ignorance is allowed on TL like this anymore, i guess the mods really have their hands full lately and stuff like this just slides.

Thanks for the thread, OP. The problem I have with the new SC2 crowd that make light of Brood War is that they have no idea what it has really accomplished, or what ESPORTS really is. I think what we need to do is clarify once and for all what BW fans mean by ESPORTS. ESPORTS isn't about having tournaments or whose (prize pool) is bigger. ESPORTS is playing video games competitively on television. ESPORTS is being government-sanctioned and culturally-approved.

ESPORTS is filling stadiums with thousands of people.

Is SC2 a successful ESPORT already? Is it going to supplant BW as the ESPORT? Do you think we'll have ESPORTS in the West? Do you think ESPORTS in Korea is irrelevant? Be sure you know what you're talking about before you answer.

Edit: Added more.



Just for Ksyper and rick-dmg i want to post this here from another thread started by the OP as well (read this post and the OP's post).

BW will go down in history as a fantastic game, but the player base is eventually going to dwindle down until the game is just that - history. The vast majority of new players will pick up SC2 instead of SC:BW.

I love BW, but I switched over to SC2 because I believe that's where the future is heading. And hey, I think SC2 is pretty great as well!

Same goes for Wc3. Just because of SC2, SC BW and WC3 wont juts drop down dead like that. There're still people having their passion left and goes with where their heart belongs. Forever~

As upset as it makes me, I'm starting to realize that the switch to SC2 is inevitable. For anyone who knows what I've posted like on here in the last several months, you'll know I advocate SCBW to the max and have been getting really into the scene lately. The last foray took me into the WCG Grand Finals where I was able to talk to Jaedong and FlaSh (at the afterparties).

Basically, they see SC2 taking off if money keeps being pumped into it (and that may be where sponsors are headed). Once the parent company money dries up, larger companies are actually thinking about sponsoring large leagues. They're already preparing to make their SC2 accounts and start training. Of course they can't SAY this sort of thing on anything that goes public because it would make their teams and sponsors worry, but they know what will have to happen when their contracts run out. I wasn't worried about BW at all until I heard this from them and their coaches. Sorry but the only hope for BW right now is that in GSL2 we end up seeing something of massive, epic, unbelievable fail (like a continuation of the quality of the GSL1 final matches would suffice).

Yeah we call them hipsters. Boxer making the move over and now jaedong talking about it? Point is that it doesn't matter. It really doesn't. You can play and surely enjoy playing any game you like. Why do you have to have a pro scene to back it up? I love playing the star wars version of age of empires, battle grounds or whatever the name is. I promise there's no pro scene to that. never will be but i still damn enjoy it.


Uhhhh because i like to watch BW?
BW proscene truly is a sport to me.
I root for Samsung Khan. I have favourite players. I get excited and hyped with anticipation when theres epic matchups. I yell when i see pimp plays.

Fuck you.


Well a merry fuck you to you too. I like to watch BW too, the proscene is a sport to me to. def is.
But BW had a long run, the switch can't be stopped. What do you want to happen? Answer would be something like Make everyone uninstall and forget about sc2?

Nobody said anything about destroying SC2 or uninstalling it.. Are you jumping to conclusion or are you trying to put words into his mouth?

Again if you would read the OP, it urge BW fans to keep supporting the game rather than to lose hope and/or worry too much about the fate of BW proscene.

As far as i can tell, it is the SC2 people that keep saying to abandon BW, the change is inevitable n stuffs.. And those same people are the ones who said "cant we just coexist?"
Look. Only Forward. See. Only Victory.
