it's a pretty logical decision; the quality of the foreigners who qualify would probably drop down to zim's level with sc2 sucking up all the good players, unless everyone tried to qualify for both sc2 and bw at the same time.

kind of sad that we won't see flash/jaedong rape foreigners anymore, but i doubt that the loss of wcg will affect the korean pro scene in the slightest, which is all i really care about.

I think that's only because the current maps doesn't give the players enough leeway to unleash all their apm. Early to early/mid game aggressive strategies are too powerful on them, so that a good part of the players play those strategies over exhausting macro fests.

But take for example the game Haypro vs Ganzi on the new and huge map TerminusRe:
Ganzi was constantly harrassing or pushing Haypro's defences at three places at once. Haypro never stood a chance because he was played into the corner, always defending and never able to plan and put on some effective counterpressure in order to secure another expansion.
That is how I like my sc2 games. ^^

i dont know about you guys
but i ENJOYED watching the pro koreans roflstomp the foreigners
it was fun to see how much they struggled against the multitask of progamers
besides...wcg is the best time to get some fpvod/replays of korean pros...its hard to find replays nowadays
fpvods are just impossible

Quite obvious choice...
And yes, it would be some more JvF matches... but seriously, anybody will miss koreans owning foreigners?

(Although SC2 looked like BW @ IEM...) I'm quite sure that WCG will be amazingly interesting =)

At least the rate of progamers drowning in pools per annum will drastically go down.

Would have been nice to see BW as well as SC2, but I guess SC2 is the only choice that really makes sense on a global scale since BW is, lets be honest, totally dead outside of Korea.

Sad, I would have liked to have seen both games at WCG. Now it's too much like - out with the old in with the new. BW has been such a big part of WCG, that a propper goodbye and a passing of the torch would not be out of place. Maybe WCG could consider a BW Showmatch with some top player. One last Hurray! for BW so to speak, but that will probably not happen.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

I'm pretty sure blizzard and wcg( probably sc2 fanboys themselves) were afraid of sc2 viewers being exposed to another tau cross, which will of course kill sc2. Thats why they dropped BW, the two games just cannot co exist.
