Wow, looks like Flash got his title just in time then...

I figured they would keep both for a few years at least, but I guess this isn't really surprising.

Except there is no "sc2>bw" stuff apart from 2 idiots who got banned (rightfully so) for it
its possible to enjoy both games as i do, not sure why liking BW has to negate liking SC2 and vice versa

Kinda sad because WCG and brood war were what got me into progaming in the first place. Man, those first brood war casts by tasteless were epic. Highly recommended for any newer tasteless fans

This is pretty sad to hear, but I guess it shouldn't be a surprise. I was hoping that I would see a foreigner win the grand finals though. At least SC2 will hopefully be more competitive.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

meh so BW pros in Korea is basically going to lose an annual oversea vacation and around few grands USD of pocket money a year ... especially for the likes of Flash or Jaedong, the only way that they even consider switching to SC2 is Blizzard suing KeSPA to dead and completely putting a stop to the BW scene, OR in another 10 years when they can't compete in BW no more, whichever comes first ...

it's a logical choice as SC2 is more global at the moment and foreigners will have a better chance of competing for a podium spot. Though personally, I do expect a Korean 1-2-3 in this coming WCG ...

Sad day for brood war progaming
I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt. I mean not that fancy store bought dirt. That stuffs loaded with nutrients. I... I can't compete with that stuff.

It's the logical move. SC2 is more "global" and SC1 is currently being dissected by lawyers.

Not surprising whatsoever, they have to do whats in their best interests, and foreigner BW is basically 99% dead.

What ever happened with the headline about SAMSUNG telling E-stars and WCG to pull all Blizzard games?
Guess they realized how retarded that plan was.

Lol you realize WCG is the yearly joke tournament for the koreans, where the only incentive for going is to go on a vacation wherever the tourney is and getting some money for smashing foreigners?

I can't believe no one is mentioning the most disappointing thing about this: no more awesome progamer v progamer and progamer vs foreigner reps. Having that JvF rep from Tau is pretty much the most awesome thing ever.

However, this decision is no surprise. In fact I would have been shocked if BW had stayed to be honest.
