Not true. You probably can't see it, because you are so used to bw. But for a new spectator, bw is unwatchable. | ||

While I disagree with you wholeheartedly, I would just like to state that this thread has nothing to do with graphics, or arguing over which is better. I dislike the polling method and find that it will prove close to nothing as it is not covering an impartial demographic (what do you expect BW forum goers to say...), and that the choices in the poll are opinionated (Don't caps anything, and give the audience all possible desired choices, hell a 1-5 system would do better than this). | ||

I remember I hadn't played BW for a few years and when I tried it again I was like "Wow, I remember these graphics being so much better when I was a little kid!" | ||

It didn't seem dated to me. The graphics in BW are very clear. New graphics doesn't necessarily make it easier to watch. I have no trouble playing NHL96 on SNES, but NHL97 on PS1 makes my eyes hurt, because it came from the first era of 3D-games, so it's obviously not as well done as the graphics from the late 2D era. | ||

Its not unwatchable but,it really is a hard adjustment if you never watched these kind of games before. It took me 6 months to start understanding what is going on,at first i gave up because its quite hard to get into BW right now if you don't dedicate yourself too it,but when I started watching some moletrap casts i started to understand many things that i couldn't understand before and I think that is the prime reason that there's less and less influx on new BW watchers. When the Sc2 Beta came out day9 with King of the Beta and Husky were my gateway to Starcraft. Unfortunately people do not have those kind of things for BW here anymore. | ||

I cut down on BW quite a bit after SC2, because I actually like that the game is sloppy and unevolved, because I like to be surprised by evolutions in the metagame and I like watching it grow. I think a more interesting poll would be who watches both games, and how is their time skewed. | ||

So for me both directions are valid: BW->SC2 and SC2->BW. And I would always be thankful to Day9 for his patient podcasts; all Liquipedia contributors; and the TL community. But definitely, it could be said that the announcement of SC2 (before beta) brought me back to my early unfinished passion for Starcraft, and helped me learn about the Korean pro-scene; I've watched all OSL finals etc. | ||

Now that I've played sc2, it made me appreciate the play much more. I kinda only watch flash and jaedong (with some bisu games here and there), but I can now pay more attention and realize much more what they're actually doing. I used to just watch it as a typical casual player perspective rather then having an idea what's going on, and it's way more interesting now. I recently started watching some games of nada, savior and iloveoov that I haven't seen in a while, and to get a feel of the differences in playstyle. | ||

Been watching BW since 2006, and that will never end even though I watch sc2, I only watch sc2 semi/finals matches. I only like seeing the best of the best play. | ||

I only watch SC2 when Zerg plays really, everything else kinda bores me  . Then again in BW, I skip alot of matches that don't involve zerg as well xD. | ||

They look quite different from the SC2 LR threads. A lot less people leads to less spam posts...older established game means there arent imba whiners (well you still get people raging when their favourite player loses  but thats a good thing because they dont blame the game) and most people that post and discuss the strats and whats happening in game know a lot about it (well not every single one of the posters...heck I posto in LR threads so ^^). That means that reading and watching you will soon understand everything (at least everything you need to follow a game and know who's ahead and most of the times why). | ||
