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.

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?


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

I think he means that it's all because blizzard and activision merged, and Activision is known for being greedy, and not listening to community and shit like that...

Not sure if he meant that tho.

it's just people angry, blindly throwing accusations at random entities.

if anyone is to blame, it's mbc. clearly they see the only way to make money is by turning one of their weaker channels (in this case, it's mbcgame) and turning it into something more profitable for them (it's cheaper to loop k-pop mv's and variety shows than to produce actual live content, sadly enough).

Lack of LAN, little incentive for PC bangs to adopt SC2, suing KeSPA/OGN/MBC, region locking...

Seeing as MBC had to give up one of their best players due to money, and they're now losing their sponsor, I would be surprised if they could continue. Except if they find a new sponsor in the upcoming weeks. Maybe MBC could still sponsor them, but if they're trying to get away from games, then I don't see it.

I don't wanna see a Proleague with nine teams and without MBC.

Happy Birthday.

Sad sad day, and I even had a nostalgia session watching OSL/MSL finals a while ago.

So far, the current MSL being the last MSL is the only thing confirmed, so I'll wait for updates first, hopefully something good about PL, before crying myself to sleep.

The whole Blizzard/Kespa ordeal where Blizzard want a billion in royalties and complete control over BW. Up until that point, SC2 was truly being groomed as a successor and even OGN was willing to air it but the lawsuit killed it.

I still can't believe this is true .... With OGN's huge amateur tournament I thought the scence was about to stand up tall again after the inital beatdowns from the SC2 launch and the match fixing but now this? Gaah I feel so empty :/

It probably will be gone. MBCgame was running at a deficit and the switch to music programming is most likely a business decision so that they don't go bankrupt.

Bleh, i never really played BW, but SC2 eventually led me to watch some of it and this happens when i actually started to enjoy it.

It's a sad day for ESPORTS
