I'm really happy this is settled. Finally the community can move on. I like to think that both sides learned something from the other-- Blizzard learned that maybe it is better not to force the transition and that it is better to keep BW going as it is, and Kespa learned that maybe Blizzard isn't the enemy.

I'm so happy. A solution at last! Hopefully this will herald an end to the BW vs. SC2 stigma. Just imagine OSL finals right after GSL finals.

Heres hoping.

I don't know why everyone is so excited, BW still would've continued even if they didn't come up with an agreement.

What would be exciting is if OGN/MBC started their own SC2 leagues.

Flash isn't going to Brood War because no one in SC2 can currently afford to pay his salary and still keep the water and electricity on in the team house. Although, 4.5 years is probably less of a definitive answer and more of a "I don't care to switch right now, so stop asking me for at least 4.5 years."

It's Flash, so I would take that statement seriously...unless Broodwar dies before that point which is unlikely.

And Jaedong said he's interested in SC2 (atleast around release, when Flash made the statement you just said). But none of that's relevant now anyway. I'm happy that BW gets continued support and that this makes it easier for SC2 to grow in Korea.

Yeah, he said he will switch when SC2 overtakes Broodwar(in Korea) which won't happen for quite some time. It's obviously not relevant and that's why it's bothering me that people post this nonsense here(and in so many other threads). I wouldn't mind if they do it in their section, but spamming this stuff here gets annoying.


I could see him splitting his time between the two if the money is good enough in SC2 to justify the occasional tournament.. But I don't see him switching full on any time soon.

Who can blame them, they're not exactly getting a money cow from selling BW (yeah I know it still sells in korea but in the rest of the whole wide world... not so much)

the only problem i see is that they won't be taking over kespa-ran stuff on the schedule (so osl/msl/pl/sf pl)

hopefully though, we'll see small tournaments being run in timeslots that are used for games like kartrider, sudden attack etc.

To be fair if the bugs are related to colours presented on screen if you close the explorer.exe process the issues go away

Side note: nice to see they worked it all out and its nice BW is licensed for 2 years. That said a 2 year license doesnt mean a 2 year guarantee that BW will still be as prominent as it is now. We can only hope BW and SC2 can coexist since that would be the best thing for esports at least until SC2 is ironed out a bit more and becomes less volatile than it is now

It is a a LOT of work and a very expensive process to patch a game as old as BW, as not that many people who made the game still work in that capacity.

Or so Ive been told, and it makes sense I think.

The dispute is finally over, wow, now looking back the day that all this shit started feels so far away. And I'm more surprised at how simple the ending sounded (seemingly). Really didn't worth the drag for both sides. They both took unnecessary damage and left us fans with a long enduring period of painful wait and useless discussions.

I'm not sure if I want kespa to do SC2. That would kill sc1 for sure. No doubt. GSL hasn't killed BW because no one really watches it. Just listen to the cheers at GSL and Proleague. Not that many screaming fans in GSL. It also helps that BW's team focused aspects makes it more stable and interesting to watch. If all the things that made BW is absorbed by SC2, it will die.
