This poll is not useful unless you make an equivalent thread in the SC2 forum.

That is what I don't get , despite the ''outdated'' graphics everything has much more clarity in BW. whenever a big battle occurs in SC2 its fucking lasorsz and shit all over my screen I can't see jack shit, its 2 balls engaging in a space the size of a cardbox.

I played BW a little before SC2 but I didn't realize how developed the pro scene was before SC2.

It took some time for me too to see what was going on because of the bad graphics, but you'll get used to it better and better over time, just keep watching and learning.

I remember i bought the bw anthology pack for sc2 hype but i couldn't play pass 2 missions because of the bad graphics, i clearly admit that but as time proceeded i got better and better and now i find it easier to see whats going on in bw than sc2 actually, not so much flashy lights and effects.

I started playing BW about at the same time that I heard about SC2, but it was entirely unrelated. SC2 didn't impress me though.

I do kind of agree with this, I've tried to watch SC2 many times but when battles happen I have no idea what the hell is going on. In Brood War the battles and engagements are easier to understand, for me anyways. Graphics don't make the game, but too much graphics and flashiness and it's a bit of a turning away point for me.

Ive been playing SC2 since the 2nd week of beta and had no experience with BW except for like a week or two when the sc2 beta was down i tried playing on iccup but couldn't get really into it, until about 4 months ago i slowly started playing more BW, playing both games at once for the first month or so until eventually i stopped playing sc2 altogether.
Now i completely hate sc2 and cant believe anyone who played BW would ever want to play sc2 instead.

I still watch BW but much less than before, I used to watch almost every game at one point, now I only watch BW if I catch SKT1 game or if I heard that a game is very good. Now I watch more SC2 than BW.

i found out about firebathero and hyungjoon becomes a programer which is pretty much all i needed.... bw games suck most of the time because there is no english commentary
If you like brood war, please go play brood war and stop whining about SC2

Before playing/following sc2, i knew about brood war(it was my first game ever) but I had no idea about the Korean pro scene, so sc2 introduced me to team liquid and through team liquid I got interested in pro scene brood war.

I watched broodwar on occasion before the advent of Starcraft 2. However, once starcraft 2 came out I began to watch a lot more broodwar than the (very) occasional game I used to catch.

I picked option 1 (introduced) since it's the closest for me, though a more accurate option would be "increased"

SC2 brought me back to broodwar, kinda

I used to watch some a couple years back, then just kinda stopped, but when SC2 came around and I got hooked watching that, it just made sense to get back into BW too.

The more starcraft the better imo

SC2 introduced me to TL. The featured BW writeups/articles introduced me to BW. Live report threads and liquipedia introduced me to players and strategies.

I'm a fan of both games, but BW just seems more refined in it's gameplay.

sc2 just doesn't cut it. Not enough action, or epic drops and stuff. It's always about who has the strongest 1a army most of the time. BW for the WIN!!

In one aspect yes. I got into BW when I heard about starcraft 2 in 2009. I watched the first battle report and thought sc2 looked awesome (I do enjoy playing sc2 and play it a lot, watch it a lot). So I played bw to prepare for it. About 2 weeks after playing bw I learned about proleague and starleagues that were streamed and watched those as much as I could (Still do if my favorite players are playing if I can).

I still watch bw today, and bw to me is a lot more entertaining to watch today as well but thats because starcraft 2 cheese is still so powerful that players can use it alot but it is getting better.

Now I watch both and play sc2 but sc2 was definitely what got me to play bw for the first time in 2009 and I really wish I had played it sooner though so that I could have hopefully been at a high rank. :D
When I think of something else, something will go here

I knew a little about the bw pro scene before sc2 but had no idea how to watch live streams or where to get vods other than through the gom classic. It wasn't until after sc2 was announced/came out that I found teamliquid and started to follow the bw scene more.
