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. | ||

The foreign BW fanbase is most likely stagnant if not dwindling, and they aren't even targeting foreigners - what makes you think such a petition would have any effect? Now a massive petition by Korean fans may make a difference. | ||

How bad is this to the BW scene? I am interested, not trying to troll. thanks MBC shows half the proleague games and runs the MSL, the 3 big things in BW are the proleague, the MSL and the OSL.. so yeah.. | ||

That something so big and mighty can fall is a huge deal. It's like the fall of Rome for BW.  | ||

I think that would have about 10% of the impact that this has on the SC2 scene. | ||

Well maybe Anibox will take over for MBCgame and hire the mbc commentators, or ogn hires them and does all SPL on their own, though that requires a lot more money from them, not to mention we'd still be down a league. | ||
