This should have happened a long time ago. The only thing remotely competitive about WCG BW is WCG Korea, and even then they don't take it that seriously. If WCG was foreigner only, it might be interesting to watch.

Understandable from their perspective. Sc2 is the more played game globally. Looking forward to the games!

It's a shame but on the other hand it would've been stupid not to do it. Almost all of the remaining non-Korean "pros" switched over to SC2 anyway so it would've been even more one sided.

Guess I'll just be watching CS from the WCG this year then

Pretty unfortunate but sort of understandable considering SC2 is more popular in the non Korean world. It's just a shame they couldn't have both because I don't particularly like SC2.

I wonder if WC3 will be included this year? Guessing so but I can't tell from the website because it's a maze.

If they had kept it I don't think we would have seen many foreigners anyway as they've all moved along, so I don't really blame them.
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

A real shame, even if it is Korean dominated I can't see why BW and SC2 can't get along together in a tourny.

Loved watching both, so it's a shame.

On the other hand, I personally believe maps and overall player skill/experience are the main issues preventing SC2 pro play from being as epic as BW games, and that will be remedied with time. (Can you imagine how BW today would play on the original Blizzard maps?)

EDIT: Loved -> love, BW isn't dead yet :p

Hmm okay, I guess the likes of Flash will get to have a longer vacation period in the off-season then.
