because WCG has always been considered a minor tournament for BW, its overshadowed by OSL and MSL, whereas WCG has always been the #1 tournament for Warcraft 3. Also WarCraft 3 desperately needs any tournament it can get.. | ||

edit: Sure, BW is being somewhat supplanted by SC2 here, but I don't think it's anything about SC2. BW would fade away without foreigners ever wanting to pick it up and play it if SC2 doesn't exist anyway. I just think WCG wants to make their entire grand final experience more "international" and having BW in the tourney is just not conducive to that. Doesn't really mean BW is dieing. | ||

I know there's a lot of people who are still into BW but if you do a side-by-side comparison with the *international* SC2 fans, then they're most likely outnumbered. While Koreans dominate BW, I think foreigners have a better chance in competiting with Korea in SC2. | ||

Surely it couldn't already be resolved? Samsung said that they would pull funding and sponsorship if WCG decided to include Blizzard games. Now, we just need to wait to hear about Samsung's response, which probably won't be good. I expect them to pull their sponsorship while WCG attempts to find another sponsor. | ||

I think the BW scene is really awesome, so it's sad to see it fading now that I've finally discovered it. Exactly my thoughts. I wish I would've been here before the SC2 release. | ||

Here's hoping that Ret, Jinro, and Huk represent Netherlands, Sweden, and Canada respectively. It would be a disservice if they had to qualify with the Koreans. | ||
