Nah, It has it's merits but he should have removed the 'failgame2' statement so that we can take it seriously. YES THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO STOP! It's getting on the nerves!. If banlings could (I doubt but I'm still hopeful and thankful for them) just warn/temp banned shitty logic like the bolded statement. Flame wars can really be averted. | ||

Also, I don't really care if a bunch of starcraft 2 fans getting butthurt over what I said. Sick of seeing their BS, they dont even say anything that makes sense, just "Go SC2, Brood War Gonna Die" "Its not about fun/playability, its all about the money". User was temp banned for this post. | ||

 really wish they could of kept both BW and sc2. I thought they were going to kill off BW for a year since wcg is in korea this year, not kill it off entirely. | ||

If its wrong I'll edit it out. But It seems pretty sound to me. Brood War has had 12 years of game sales and patches, as well as organizations and tournaments to iron out the issues and advertise the e-sport. 12 years to convince companies to subsidize and invest in teams and tournament series as well as create player legacies and histories. Those are big shoes to fill for SC2 to do in less than one year. Pros who were accustomed to Brood War and had high mechanical skill were able to nit pick every bug and exploit in the game early on as well as play around with the game pre-release. We didn't have that for pre-Brood War and had to ramp up to your top tier gamers. It is arguably inevitable that SC2 would have fallen short of expectations. I do not understand how viewers/players could expect the jump to be linear from BW to SC2. The polarized community didn't help either.... | ||

With WCG being more of a global tournament I can understand why they switched from BW to SC2. SC2 is catching on day by day in the western world for both competitive and casual gamers, whereas BW was left just for the hardcore gamers. It's sad to see the change, but it was one that was necessary. How was IEM a decent field foreign wise? Id call it strong. Meanwhile the Koreans ALL lost round ONE of Code A. So yeah, Korea 1-2-3 could happen. Banned Eywa for his inability to argue without calling people faggots. | ||

EDIT: @ jinro alot of NA players don't follow europe as much and so IEM seemed like a few of the big names and then a bunch of random euros + koreans to them, i know i haven't actually seen games of more than half of the foreign IEM field personally. not that the view is correct but just explaining the view. | ||

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. Finals being empty is a huge lie =/ They pretty much filled the arena they used for GSL3, I wasnt at GSL 4 finals so I couldnt tell you how that one went tho. | ||

If you really were their fans you'd support them for the game they play. Are people really that desperate for them to switch? Isn't MVP/Sangho/Nada/Boxer/Tester/Iron/July enough? How many gamers do you want to support lol >< | ||

I do not understand how viewers/players could expect the jump to be linear from BW to SC2. The polarized community didn't help either.... It's not sound .. why?? 1.) Mainly because BW is a Korean Scene. Foreigners still can try to compete but they don't have the work ethics or to do what these Progamers have been doing for years, add that to the coaching staff they have. Mondi, Draco, White-Ra, Ret, Idra, etc.,. All of these guys had their chance these guys can beat low teir progamers back 2009 and before. Like for Ssak and Classic beat Flash in the last SLs(Ssak and Classic = foreigners, Flash=Low teir progamer  ).2.) In Korea, If I don't have to be biased, the quantity of viewers still sides with BW because the scene is homegrown. It was not forced. Hell, even Giyom is accepted as a Pillar of SC:BW proscene up until now. People of all ages can understand what is happening in the game. 3.) BIG Korean Corporations and the Ministry of Culture backs the BW Proscene. How can you say its dead/needs to die? to add .. 4.) Players of these proteams have salaries over $100,000. Do you see any games having their players have these large salaries and that are backed by big corporations? Players has a celebrity status. How can you say it needs to die? | ||

What he said. If you think it's insulting BW for SC2 fans to want the best BW players to switch, imagine how insulting it feels to come into a thread about BW being dropped in favor of SC2 and seeing a bunch of BW fans talking about how it sucks they're switching to an inferior game, how WCG is now worthless, etc. I'm not saying that they're right about it being insulting--I can understand how it would feel to be in the BW fan's position--but by the same token, try to understand why they might think "BW is greater than SC2 will ever be" might not be something an SC2 fan would be overjoyed to read. | ||

Yeah, that's true, it's not an insult, but it's really getting repetitive. But yeah as an example just 1 page back there's some guy saying it's time for Flash and Jaedong to switch cause WCG dropped BW. Bit unreasonable don't you think? :\ | ||
