"Let's tear down what most people consider to be a great thing so that we can make room for something that might be as good with time"? I dunno about tearing it down. I don't think anyone seriously would suggested that, unless they were trolling. But in terms of attempting to forcibly prop it up in places where its not so stable instead of devoting those resources to another, ideally more profitable, outlet is what people are getting at. Brood War will not die in Korea any time soon, but Globally it doesn't have the same presence as SC2. And when you deal with the World Cyber Games, they need to focus on the global title. It would be artificially propping it up if they kept it going (even ignoring the current legalities). | ||

SC1 is still the only game that I think is worthy of the name Sport. Yup, goodbye WCG. You will forever be missed T_T. Even though it is a logical choice for WCG to just go SC2, I feel kind of remorse about that decision. | ||

Which is what BW players really need to do IMO No thanks. Both playing/watching SC2 is extremely boring. As long as ICCUP/brain/etc are still active and the pro-scene in Korea is strong, I have absolutely no intention of moving on. | ||

And since the BW since has for the most part been concentrated down to Korea, the whole "world" aspect of the tournament kinda falls through. SC2 on the otherhand is new and globally popular and I am sure they are banking on it being around for sometime to come. | ||
