Foreign BW is officially dead, not BW in general. SC2 in Korea is unsustainable, even with the huge prize pools there's no top BW players that have switched to SC2, viewership is lower than BW's as evidenced by the finals being mostly empty, etc. With NASL and MLG coming up to distract foreign audiences I don't see the GSL lasting too much longer.

Logical choice, Foreigner BW can't/doesn't/won't compete with Korean BW at all nowadays.

I don't know why people even associate failgame2 to Starcraft:Brood War, Just because they have the same name and Blizzard calls it a sequal doesn't mean they should be associated. Shoulda been called Warcraft in Space. Also I love how so many failgame2 fans post here saying BW IS DEAD!! MOVE TO SC2!!! We don't spam ur shit. And for the reccord, Brood War has always been a mostly Korean E-Sport, so even if the Internationnal Brood War fails, Brood War lives on. Only people who transfer from Brood War to SC2 are a) Lazy b) Bad c) Going for the cash(and not quality of the game).

Why are people saying the end of BW is the end of competitive Starcraft as a whole? By the time BW becomes less profitable for Korean pro-gamers in Korea, I suspect SC2 will have been patched and established globally to warrant a transfer of at least a significant portion of old pros. Not to mention new pro-gamers will skip BW and cut their teeth on SC2.

In terms of viewership, I would expect the viewership in Korea to be lower for SC2 then BW since one has been out for less then a year and the other has had years upon years to refine and establish themselves. But even barring that fact, viewers cant follow both at the exact same time, so attention will likely be split anyway.

I suspect some Korean pros will retire/go to army, but many will also transfer over since all their hard work in BW will pay off still in SC2 with their pure mechanical skills. Especially since now they have an entire world of leagues to play in with a disproportionate amount of raw talent in their favor. Fish in a barrel for some time to come.

It had to happen, good things get replaced, like how Cata replaced WoW Vanilla and such.

Shame that they won't be able to bring Starcraft to foreign stages through WCG anymore, but it being done through OGN like Korean Air OSL S2 Final in China is possible.

It's okay, BW remains top quality in its current form.

The question now is... how long will Starcraft 2 last? With IEM, MLG, GSL, and upcoming NASL, who's going to bother? What kind of incentive do they have for gamers to practice for it over the aforementioned tournaments? Will it be what BlizzCon was for BW? This will be interesting, cause honestly right now SC2 is swamped with tournaments everywhere.
MMOs kill APM. However Proleague plus BW Proscene music increase APM -> 100. 이제동 Fighting! Highest ranked Jaedong owner in FPL10 = clearly #1 Jaedong fan~! <- Keeping my sig from 2010

I'm probably feeding this troll but,shitting on more than half of TL's population by calling SC2 failgame will get you banned.

What else were they really meant to do? Top foreigners just don't play BW anymore, and it wouldn't make sense for them to either.

I'm flame-baiting this thread? Fuck that. SC2 players comming here saying ppl should abandon BW blah blah blah, they're the ones failbaiting this thread.

I'm just saying it how it is, this is in the Brood War forum, if they don't want to read, they can simply go back to their fucking forums.

Every thread I see in the BW section is spammed by them faggots going "YAY WE WANT BW TO DIE".

It is also in the Community News, so therefore, it's not us SC2 fans flaming BW players. Most of the TL.net community does read the Community News section.
