no offence but in due time the SC2 bubble will die and everything you thought was stable will disappear and the SC2 scene will be only a shell of what is around now. let me know if sc2 lasts 10 years, because it wont.


A little overly aggressive, don't ya think?

Good for everyone, most people on TL are fans of both games, so naturally you want both to thrive.

I wonder if more SC2 tournaments will pop up, think i can speak for fans and players (especially those in Korea) that we want more tournaments for them.

no offence but you cant fault people for sticking with a better game. last i heard, broodwar is still alot more popular in korea than sc2 so its not really anyone being stubborn, its more like people being honest?

i dont care if red alert 2 became a global e sport with hundreds of teams and billions of dollars, id still watch brood war


People keep saying broodwar is a lot more popular but I've never seen people post where they get their sources (not that I've looked too much though). How and where do I find which games are more popular?

There were some statistics which state that BW is ranked higher than sc2 in people playing it in PC bangs.

Yeah in 1999 when sc1 was 1 year old, everyone said this game will last for 10+ years..

That's a logical statement.

(Btw, didn't sc2 boom TL's traffic? I would expect the mods to be at least a little happy for sc2.)

This is good news, but I hope bw and sc2 can coexist, I've only recently started following pro bw ( and it's been a year of following sc2 ), and it's a lot of fun.

Articles from Superdanielman are usually pretty interesting and well informed. It is a lie that he's pro-Kespa, he's very critical of Kespa and the Kespa handling of this case, but he acknowledges that Kespa is a professionally-run organization, and that they actually made Broodwar an e-sport. He just didn't believe the hype about SC2 being the best thing in the world since sliced bread, and that's why people says he's biased against SC2.

Milkis is not a mod, he is a writer. He in no way represents the entire of Teamliquid. Although I agree with him .

Ongament, and MBCgame will be at liberty to produce and sell starcraft contents, and open starcraft tournaments.

Anyone have an idea whether this is for both SC and SC2?


Nothing official yet, so no one knows. But given GOM still has exclusive rights to SC2 it's likely BW only.

SDM is bitter over SC2 because he opened up a PC bang to profit over the "SC2 wave" which never truly materialized. He keeps brooding over the fact that no one plays starcraft 2 in his shop and that it's not addictive enough compared to Brood War.

To quote him:

Oh, and isnt it a bit funny GOM gave back their SCBW broadcasting rights to Blizzard a few weeks ago? =)

This was probably coming already at that time, and since Blizz was coming to an agreement with ogn/mbc, GOM couldnt hold the rights anymore, so Blizz/GOM arranged a return of the rights to Blizz, who in turn now will allow ogn/mbc to broadcast. Maybe GOM having SCBW rights in the first place was probably just to scare ogn/mbc to agree on their demands?


It's more complicated than that, but it has more to do with Blizzard realizing that they can't compete in Korea any more and they don't have the manpower to handle it since half the blizzard korea members apparently left for another company among other things.


they apparently fired their head marketing guy after realising how much of a flop sc2's entry was into korea.
