Add Quake Live to that and you have the trifecta of entertaining and engaging e-sports that are still going strong and have a lot of player/audience/sponsor support. | ||

The same community, the same playstyle. I think there is quite a lot of bias by BW fans, and that is why they don't like watching SC2. They've had such a long history with BW. That's understandable, and when SC3 comes out, I'll feel the same way about losing SC2. But SC2 is not a bad game at all, right now. Some of you say that it's boring compared to BW, but it's clear from the numbers that many people enjoy watching SC2, perhaps more people than those who enjoyed BW. Besides your whole post being pretty unimportant, I'd like to address one thing that you said. You say that we're the same community as it was when BW replaced SC1. But if you take a look at this poll, you can see that we're in fact NOT the same community. More than half of people on this site (I assume it's even bigger percentage now) have not played BW, besides maybe a campaign 10 years ago. And this is the main reason why there's even so much fighting in this thread and all the similar threads. We BW players (and especially here on Teamliquid -.-) were elitist before SC2 was even planned and we were damn proud of it. But now we're combined with other communities (non-BW) and they're calling us up on our elitism  | ||

I'm curious why they haven't shafted The Frozen Throne as well. Almost all the big name players are devoting some time into Starcraft instead because there isn't much left of TFT...Maybe next year. | ||

What foreigners there were last year weren't that good either (Jaedong's second computer opponent?) so it makes sense for WCG to stop it. Though it kind of feels like as if the Olympics dropped basketball back in the mid 90s because there was no competition it was all team USA (could you imagine if they did that now?). Man you really need to look up the results of the Seoul Olympics. And even if there are no foreigners the top Koreans duking it out is the better show imho. | ||

MLG pulled WoW arena from it's lineup, there's still a ton of players competing on the various ladders, but the whole community as a whole is a bit terrible... Imagine the strategy forums, with just as many bad threads, but no one ever replies to anything even good threads, people hide what they are doing. So it's kinda hard for them to build an audience but some people still tune in the competitions just to look for the current FOTM. As for SC2 vs BW... WCG doesn't care at all what we think of either game, they just want viewers, which produce money. There is no foreigner scene for BW anymore... They aren't gonna host multiple world events where foreigners will likely still jump in just for the odd chance of getting a paid trip somewhere to get stomped at the finals. It's sad, but look at the TL stream feed. Numbers speak much much louder than words. This isn't Blizzard pulling the plug. This isn't much of anything else. | ||

It seems a more relevant sign for the foreign community than actually for the Koreans. It shows how many of us, non-Koreans, left BW and transitioned into other games (SC2 or others), probably on the Korean side it wont shake things much. | ||

starcraft 1 in WCG was really the only connection to the foreign pro-SC scene... now that that's gone, and SC2 is taking its place, we won't seee that connection again due to the fact that SC2 is nearly 50/50 in "foreign" (i guess we really cant say that anymore) and korean. RIP BW, we'll miss you in the WCG... P.S. it would be good to at least put it in, not as a GF, but as a side event... But i support the KCG!! | ||

i do find it interesting how for every other game you ask the games creator if it can be played, but for bw you have to ask kespa if it can be played. | ||
