MBCGame to shut down? - Page 12

Keep any SC2 vs BW comments out of this thread. This is a thread about Brood War and Esports (Tekken Crash, Special Forces, etc) in general. If you discuss what this means for ESPORTS be sensitive about it.

Well you could see the interest in BW falling for the past 3 years really in Korea. I think the golden days were from 2004 to early 2007 where the finals could fill out stadiums.

It was expected by me, although I don't like it and I think BW is twice the game than SC2 will ever be.

The Korean BW fans won't switch to SC2, at least most of them won't. BW dying may be the death of Esports in Korea, which IMO will also lead o the death of most E-sports. Without Korea, e-sports just won't survive.

Wow... end of an era. It really does make me sad. BW just won't be the same without MBC.


At least they already have experience powering down their studio.

Incredibly sad announcement. Hopefully OGN can handle being alone, and that MBCGame Hero's players can find a new home after (presumably) their current sponsorship ends. Time to go rewatch every MSL!

I'm at a loss for words. I got into Pro BW because of the Hyungjoon Becomes a Progamer show and grew to love the Hero team. Now...

I remember the recent Songduri-Dear MST game, which was all over the place but made watchable and hilarious by the commentators. I hope all of the staff and the players will be provided for somehow, but it doesn't look good.

Wow this is horrible...

What really pisses me off, is that SC2 was supposed to be THE successor to BW, but Blizzard Activision got fucking greedy and created this huge rift between the BW and SC2 scene (and that's just ignoring differences in gameplay).

If BW dies off, the SC2 expansions had better be fkn awesome so that the scene can support all the former BW pros.

There are problems with SC2 as well. Esports in Korea on a whole has a lot of problems.


Even for other games? How are games like Sudden Strike doing?

I feel so empty.

Once I thought that as long as we, the fans held strong, that bw will survive through our sheer force of will alone if nothing else.

We have as a bw community suffered through so much recently, and our faith has always remained.

But now I feel that very same will shattered, drained... I can't help but accept, all good things must come to an end. Sometimes, when one door closes, another one does not open like our foolish, optimistic hearts expect. Sometimes all we are left with is nothing....

MBCGame, it has been a pleasure and an honour to share the journey with you, RIP.
MSL, 2003-2011, RIP. OSL, 2000-2012, RIP. Proleague, 2003-2012, RIP. And then there was none... Even good things must come to an end.

What did Activision do to create this rift? I have no idea what you're referring to.
