And people who dont accept/favor SC2 are just closed-minded morons who are afraid of change.. Its just my personal assumption, but most of the people here in TL should have already given SC2 a try (since we loved BW, and had high hope for its sequel, esp after so much hype).. The fact that we are here talking about this means that after trying out that "change" we find that it sucks, or at least cant match the "old" BW. So yes, rather than change, what we (i) hate is the (vastly) inferior option, and how its trying to force its way down our (my) throat.. | ||

I found it ok to watch, like to or three other games, but honestly, if I had a choice between rewatching every GSL game and every Canata TvT, I would probably choose Canata... | ||

He's implying that you're stupid (saying someone is from Romania is how TLer call people stupid). The post you quoted was dripping with so much sarcasm it's a wonder you didn't detect it. | ||

He's implying the guy doesn't know how to detect sarcasm. -__- Seriously guys, give it a rest. The WCG semis between Flash and JD was fairly entertaining. | ||

Hence, innovation is difficult and discouraged in regular gameplay. The tweaks and small changes in attack timings etc do not matter to the average spectator. If all the average fanbase see is repetition, then obviously they will move on to something else. When was the last time an innovation was made in baseball? Has anybody invented a new pitch or a better way to swing the bat recently? Rediscovered how to run (lol) to speed up their base running times? Pitchers have been throwing the ball the same damn way for decades and people still watch it. Same with most other "major" sports. Not having constant innovation doesn't exactly lead to stagnation. If anything there being a "best" strategy that trumps every other strategy does. You don't have to reinvent the wheel every time there's another race. You just have to drive the damn car really well every race. NASCAR isn't boring to many people because people want to see different car models, it's because the map pool blows. XD I started visiting TL late last year as more and more news about SC2 was becoming available. Started watching BW as the streams were available and really liked it. After awhile of watching games/commentaries I started understanding more of the intricacies of the matches. SC2 came out. I'd still rather watch BW at this point. GSL wasn't too entertaining as a lot of the players were playing sloppy as shit. Sure there's some people that did good, but the game is so young that the playerbase basically hasn't finished inventing the wheel for the first time yet. Maybe in a year or two they'll be more settled. Unfortunately, though I also have some distaste for the design of some of the SC2 units as well, which is a Blizzard issue and not a player one. Terrible, terrible damage syndrome doesn't interest me as a viewer. It's bores me with lopsided battles that the person with far less supply wins because they have the lolunits. I'll probably still watch SC2 here and there, because honestly I'm a nerd. I'd generally rather watch an esport than a "normal" sport like football or baseball simply because I find them more interesting (and/or identify more... whatever). That's why I actually watched some of the Quake games from IEM (another good example of a game that, by today's standards, looks archaic as shit but is still played competitively). I don't know when any upcoming SC2 events are happening nor do I care. I have, however, checked the TL calendar several times in the past few weeks looking for dates when BW's proleague will start up again. Gimme mah fix now plz, kthx. Also, the trolls in this thread are hilarious (they're on both sides, of course, attacking their own kind). It does take some time for the truly humorous posts to emerge, usually when they're trying to maintain their position with counter-points, but when it does show itself it is pretty funny. | ||

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. | ||

Also it's impossible to die for Broodwar because it is a legend. And it's legacy can never be killed or matched. Even if all pro would suddenly quit in korea, Bw will still be THE legend  | ||

Hell you probably even come to the wrong forums.. This place is ridden with people who watch and enjoy pro-scene, fyi.. | ||
