Awesome, hopefully we get some more SC2 tournaments out there besides GSL. This would probably give foreigners more incentive to move to Korea to compete, and I think everyone would like that.

Oh, dude. You just KNOW there's going to be a literal SC2 vs BW thing; some kind of GOM/Kespa BW/SC2 joint tournament. A lot of SC2 players are former brood war pros, right? Even as a publicity stunt, it'd be baller to see, say, Nada and Flash doing a pair of bo7s, one in BW, one in SC2.


not even in my worst nightmares,the event would be horribad.


I don't think so. Nada/Boxer/July are still pretty good. Sure, it would be predictable and mainly for novelty value, but it'd still be kind of neat.

On the other hand, if Flash beat Nada in SC2 or Nestea beat Jaedong in BW, the SC2 vs BW debates would be even more insufferable than they are now

I didn't notice mentioned in the OP and forgive me for not reading through 13 pages, but I think GOM still has full rights to SC2 broadcasts in Korea. Anyone wishing to hold a SC2 tournament still must negotiate with GOM. So, no, this probably doesn't mean more SC2 on Korean TV.

Good news! Hopefully they can get the amount of the fee settled quickly and not drag that out for another six months.

That's bad for the Korean SC2 scene, but good for the foreign SC2 scene, because Korean pros more enter foreign tournaments as a result.

Have fun.

On topic: This is great news. I am curious as to what the licensing fee is, though....

Well, i'm hoping Boxer/nada/july still be able to participate in all-star events. And that OGN/MBC/KESPA and Gom all kiss and make up.


Those all-stars events are for Proleague players. Unless they rejoin their old BW teams, it doesn't make any sense for them to play in the PL/WL all-star event.


Well I guess the good news is that MBC won't be dissolving their BW team any time in the near future.

There's no way Nada/Boxer/July/Nestea/MC/MVP can hold a candlelight to BW's best. If you look at Reach/Anytime, people who still practice BW and are on teams, you'll see exactly why.

There's also no way you'll convince any top BW player to practice SC2 seriously, since there's no point. Except for maybe Stork, but you gotta present it as a cellphone game.

In any case, such an event would be pretty pointless. I'll still be waiting for the official announcement, but I highly, highly doubt that OGN/MBC will embrace SC2 at all.

All I hope it means is that PL/OSL/MSL will still be going strong. I don't care much for the SC2 scene, as long as it doesn't affect our precious BW scene...

No argument there

I hope KeSPA doesn't ever broadcast or promote SC2 though, they will regret it.


What they end up doing is up to them, however they can't badmouth any Blizzard products or future endevours. Which mostly means now that they can't badmouth GOM or HotS, which to Blizzard is just as good as them promoting SC2.

"Interviewer: What do you think of HotS?

KeSPA: That is a Blizzard product... No comment."

I don't think anyone I've ever come across who watches and understands both BW and SC2 will ever say that the excitement SC2 brings about is anything worth comparing to BW's. That's probably also the same reason why some SC2ers, especially the very young ones make ridiculously uninformed comments about BW.


I can't comment on what younger SC2ers say, but I enjoy both scenes and while I'm not sure what gets me more excited, but I will say it's much easier to get excited about a good match I can watch live without waking up at 5am, in english, featuring international players. The BW scene is just never ever going to deliver in that department. So while I have tons of fun watching BW, I do get more excited when news of a good SC2 match is coming.

[


Thats personal preference, and part of the reason why people will never agree, I don't like waking up at 5 am more then you, but it is so worth it to me. I personally couldn't care less about ''foreigners'', I care about the best players most of them are Korean(a feat noone can deny), but I have no bias.
Also there hasn't been a really good english commentator who can deliver the same excitement as Klazart could for me(Watching SC2 with korean commentary is so much better for me btw). A problem with SCBW is that it is hard to understand for the casual person, the fact that it is commentated in Korean is amazing and fun for us(I mean, have you ever seen guys with so much passion?for a game?). However a new person does not understand korean, and does not really know what is going on in the game. Therefore he will have to delve back into older SCBW games, and that is simply not appeasing for him because the community does not watch it with him.

Its personal preference I suppose.

Also I find SCBW more appealing to the eye then SC2 for some reason keke(in most departments).(also personal preference).

Its not nostalgia,the game still exists, its not because I refuse to accept change, frankly I haven't been here very long on Teamliquid. I came here because of SC2 beta, and realized that the game was not what I was looking for, I started following BW again(I used to watch randomly on youtube, jon747/Violetak).

I don't dislike SC2 however:
For me , SC2 is a game, SCBW is a sport.


It certainly helps when you can speak the language. I don't feel limited, I'll still watch VODs and content in Korean. If anything it's pretty exciting to hear them yell out and you don't need to fully understand them (if the guy controlling the camera doesn't suck which usually he is excellent... Loved reading Hot_bids article on the art) to enjoy what is going on.

Where I'm seriously lacking is when it comes to interviews, post game commentary and content broadcasted in my timezone. Tl.net, translators and various writeups compensate and help a ton. So to me the BW scene will never be there, so to it's difficult to get excited about the future of BW.

To me chess is a game, but it doesn't make watching the Candidates tournament any less epic or difficult. Hockey is a game to me too, even though my favorite players could likely spotcheck me into oblivion. I just don't see how calling something a sport but not a game or vice-versa as being a good thing a good sport is both.

Personal opinion of course.



Too tired to come up with something witty.

And likewise, Flash wouldn't beat Nada in a fairly different game that Nada practices 12 hours a day and Flash doesn't. But if he did....ugh, the flamewars that'd result. The sheer possibility of the stars aligning like that turns me off the whole concept .

Flash is really really good.

Though to be quite honest, I'd send out forGG/Kwanro/Reality for an SC2 match...
