Completely away, it was the first time in years I did not see a finals, now I do not even have the intention of watching FlaSh vs ZerO.

I started watching BW several months before SC2 was announced. My interest in BW increased a bit more after SC2 was announced, though.

In any case, I definitely prefer watching BW over SC2, though. It's too bad it's dwindling now ):

I like both of them.

In term of strategy I prefer BW.
It kind of boring when I see two deathballs in SC2 killing each other again and again every games.

But I find SC2 is much more interesting tournaments.

If only sc2 got bigger map it would be more fun to watch.

I played SC+BW from just about release until 2002. I knew of VODs and streams of BW but was never interested until SC2 came out and shit exploded.

Now I enjoy watching BW as much as SC2.

(I like watching SC2 for its flashiness and kewl looking units and d000ds. I enjoy watching BW because I enjoy watching skill.

When I heard Starcraft 2 was coming out, I was really looking forward into getting the game. Today, I think watching Starcraft II videos is NOT NEARLY as fun as watching Broodwar games. Now, Broodwar games are WAY more fun and intense than Starcraft II.

I've hardly watched any BW since SC2 came out.

Both are fun games to watch spectator wise, though I love the insane Korean BW commentators (don't really like english casters really, because they don't go as crazy).

Though FPVODS of BW >>> SC2.

[Rant]
I currently watch quite alot of SC2 streams and I am very disappointed on the lack of mechanical skill required. Having an APM of 80 is enough to be a top level player. Everytime I watch a top players SC2 stream I am always unimpressed. When watching an FPVOD of Jaedong, you are completely mesmerized at the speed and insane multitasking that these guys play at.
[/Rant]

But overall both games are fun to watch, I currently watch SC2 exclusively because the scene is so much bigger.

Also I noticed Flash won the latest MSL, is this the 100th Starleague that Terran has won??

Some things always stay the same -___-

I started watching more broodwar due to sc2. I'd watch occasional games on youtube or whatever and didn't really follow bw. when sc2 beta came out i started watching streams of proleague/msl/osl every night possible. The biggest factor was teamliquid and the fact that bw players had such great execution when they played in comparison to the play of early sc2 players.

I watched some BW long before SC2 release, now I wacth more BW than ever, thanks to Moktira and his fast upload, sometimes on live, but the time doesnt fit at all. I have watched more than 100 pro games in SC2 and even a regular game in BW is better than those, so no change for now.

sc2 introduced me to bw. BW guys can be hit or miss on whether or not they are supportive of newcomers or completely belligerent to so-called "sc2 newbs"... makes watching bw lame somtimes.

I used to watch every now and then and after SC2 started getting close to release, I would watch tons of BW and I love watching live PL now. I think they are both great and I missed out on a lot of BW, so I like watching it even now that I don't play it anymore.

I used to watch BW occasionally but never played, then I got into SC2, but the ball vs ball of units kinda pissed me off and I went back and watched BW and it looked much more interesting and engaging because it reseambled a constant power struggle instead of a ceasefire till 200/200.
