why do you guys treat BW as if its going to disappear forever? They don't call it e-sports for nothing. Treat it like a real sport. Football and baseball have been around since the beginning of dirt and are still popular. Why shouldn't starcraft I continue like them in Korea?

This makes the most sense. bw is only popular in Korea. The grand finals would just be a joke.

The stupidity of some people in this thread is mind-boggling.
Those who should do understand what I mean. Those who don't won't read this anyway.

Well played by WCG, they are able to do this in spite of rumours of all blizzard games taken down due to sponsorship. I hope WC3 gets to be in the program and at which point it'll be interesting to see whether Grubby will go back and go for a title shot

Who says the end of bw wcg is the end of bw rofl, anyone who says that has a severe misunderstanding of the scene.

I'm sad, but i guess this was bound to happen one day. No more auto 1,2,3 finishes for Korea. =[


... what was the IEM finishes again?

What were the Dreamhack finishes again?

what were the last 2 GSl finishes again

1 korean playing godly this season
2. korean who scrubbed the finals
3. jinro
4. korean who didn't deserve to get this far and got wrecked in semis

and how many Koreans are there in GSL compared to foreigners?
Koreans arent unbeatable in sc2, for some reason people seem to be implying they are untouchable like they were in BW

It was exactly like this when BW became popular. We got foreigner champions for a while, and then Koreans started to dominate left and right. Like any other individual sports, dedication plays a huge role in a player's success. How many foreigners do you think are going to spend 14 hours a day just to practice on a video game? Compute your figure and multiplies it by a million and you'll get the number for Koreans.

All the successful foreign SC2 players nowadays are Korean influenced. Idra got his good foundation from practicing BW with a Korean team. Jinro and Huk succeeded because they have been training with the Koreans.

I'd say in about 2 or 3 years, assuming that SC2 is widely accepted by the Korean community like how BW was, Korean players will start their reign of domination again and there's nothing we can do about it.

Well, hard to argue against this one. BW's been on for ages and it's time to give room to new games. A little part of me still died with this news x_x GG SCBW

How the fuck did this turn into another one of the "bw is dead!!! time for ____ to transfer to SC2!!!" threads? its not like WCG was the epitome of bw, it was just koreans having showmatches with foreigners.

linking bw threads in community news always results in the same way -_-'
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

On one hand, WCG is going to be a huge loss - it delivered awesome games every year, just last year looking at FvJ on Grand Line and Tau Cross those were 2 of the best games in all of 2010. On the other hand, the foreign scene is getting pretty weak. I'm also interested about a possible future return if bw rebounds abroad, is there any precedent in wcg for a game going away but coming back later?

Counter Strike 1.6->CS:S->CS 1.6.

It can happen if SC2 dies out.

Technically, it was CS 1.6* -> CS: condition zero -> CS:S -> CS 1.6

*: Could have been CS 1.5, I'm not 100% sure on the timeline.
Force staff is the best item in the game.
