Nope I'm pretty sure Lyn and Moon are full time SC2, as Moon has participated in multiple big SC2 tourneys around the world, including the NASL,GSL,IEM. | ||

And yet, they would account for at least 60% casual SC players of the planet, given their population and their strong addiction to gaming. Stop using the "world" as an argument lol. well, South America, I think, is still embracing BW with arms wide open. I constantly hear my from my friend about those cuban or brazilian zerg rush build that I have yet to see in iccup (maybe because i haven't been playing for 2 months now O.o). | ||

Blizz want that Kespa runs a sc2tournm but kespa will never do it? China is moving back to bw... xD Gom is losing money every second? Foreign fail at sc2 in korea? I don't know what makes you think China is moving back to BW - almost all the Chinese BW players have basically either retired or made a switch to SC 2. A couple of Chinese eSports websites being denied re-stream rights by GOMTV is not going to make a difference. They have other games to cover, like DOTA and League of Legends, which are the most popular eSports games in China, not anything related to SC. The BW scene outside of Korea has always been a niche community. I do not foresee this changing. SC 2, on the other hand, seems to be the real deal when it comes to the next big thing in Western eSports. | ||

GOM gave up their rights to BW a few months ago. OGN and MBCGame are paying the licence fees directly to Blizzard. SC2 is a different story, though. | ||

SC2 was only recently officially released in China so that's one reason why it's not as big. It's bigger in other parts of Asia like Taiwan where it has its own proleague. Also it's more popular in the South East asia region | ||

The best way to promote sc2 in China is to let these unofficial "super sites" to report/stream your product. We have 10 years of history to prove it. Also I was talking about the general population, not players | ||

I have Vietnamese friends who said to me that when they went to PC bangs there to play SC2 they only saw Dota or BW fast maps and when they played people asked "hey, what is the game you play ?" BW low map is not popular either, but sc2 is definitely not "big" there at all. | ||
