 some of my viewing has been replaced by sc2 , but i feel stupid because half the time i'll watch like an hour of sc2 and then be like "all these games sucked" T.T I've started using the recent recommendation thread more. But i'm also busier... LAME. | ||

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. The difficult adjustment has nothing to do with graphics. When i first started watching proBW i also took a long time to understand what was going on due to various factors like camera movement and unfamiliarity with the units. Your initial post was a slant against BW graphics making the game hard to understand and then when shown evidence to the contrary you changed your argument to it's difficult to understand with english commentary. | ||

I started watching BW in 2007, kinda stopped watching it around the time that I started playing the SC2 beta but over time professional sc2 fustrated me to the point where I only watch BW now. For me it's a far better game to watch(aside from the 40 minute+ TvTs). Also for SC2 gaining viewers is because it's a hot new thing. People are dumb sheep who only like things that are contemporary and have this weird disdain for older generation graphics even though to me BW looks perfect. For you maybe, as well. "Also for SC2 gaining viewers..." You sure about that? I'm curious as to how you have access to the exact reasons behind the ever-increasing viewership. Consider a career in finance because you're basically a god among mortals. All I did was point out a trend - not attempt to rationalize the reason behind it. I know better than that. | ||

I think he's saying that he has trouble understanding what's going on(which is why he needs english commentary - the korean commentary doesn't really clarify much). If you switch from SC2 you would likely have this problem. Most of the units are similar, but all of the builds/timings/playstyles are MASSIVELY different. As for the casters it would be: "Oh, and now he's getting his gas after his third hatchery, so he's likely going 3 hatch muta. This would give him map control, and allow him to get his third base and Hive tech up." A SCII player would not know what 3 hatch muta is, nor would they know the hive timings(or even why you need to go hive). | ||

I still watch from time to time and when EffOrt officially starts his comeback it may become more frequent. Yea this too, Once EffOrt is back and sKyHigh will stop slumping, i would probably watch more. | ||

A SCII player would not know what 3 hatch muta is, nor would they know the hive timings(or even why you need to go hive). That's my point exactly. I also began watching proBW in late 2009. When i started i didn't even know what a reaver was. I spent months watching moletrap, diggity, cholera, nuke, rise commentaries until i graduated to korean commentary. It was never an issue of graphics. I daresay people switching from sc2 would have it easier than me who started from ground zero. I remember clearly the days where 2 rax and 10 rax would confuse the shit out of me... ok hes building 2 barracks..... ok hes build a barracks how the fuck is that 10 rax? | ||
