I wouldn't be surprised if BW continues in Korea for a long time, but overall, for global e-sports SC2 is the best thing. Its quite simple really, in BW the Koreans had anywhere from a 3 to 6 year head start to practice - full time - all the foreign players did not. SC2 everyone started fresh, and the non-Korean pro scenes started up during Beta and are still going strong. I can understand wanting BW to remain because of nostalgia but for anyone that truly likes e-sports they have to accept that SC2 is the future. Sc2 seems far slow and less entertaining. At WCG, the majority is watching, and watching the same thing over and over isn't really exciting. In BW, there are still things like moving zerglings up ramps, controlling hundreds of lings (like zero), large scale macro, babysitting. This is what makes it so exciting because it's easy to see the difference of someone who plays on mechanics, and someone who plays on practice. | ||

Only agree with u about Korean so far ahead of foreign make the competition WCG less interesting as most of the group games were not worth watching. However, in players' view, BW should be much a faster paced than SC2 as so many more tasks must be done at the same time. For ppl who do not understand the game, SC2 may seem more entertaining but for ppl who do, BW is much more exciting as you know how hard it is to be able to control and manage what you see on the screen. For me, tis news is very disappointing as I still think SC2 is not developed enough to be able to replace BW. | ||

I can understand wanting BW to remain because of nostalgia but for anyone that truly likes e-sports they have to accept that SC2 is the future. Nothing could be further from the truth. I really don't know why this myth gets perpetrated. BW is evolving and changing now perhaps more than any time before (except for the obviously dynamic first couple years). The number of changes and evolutions in 2010 is quite long. Ver made a post that listed probably 10 or 15 changes in TvZ alone, many of them very large scale changes and not mear build order tweaks. PvZ style has changes significantly in the recent months, and ZvZ is one the cusp of a hive tech revolution. I agree with some of what you say, but the idea that BW is stale or figured out is blatantly, completely wrong. | ||
