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. | ||

I'm pretty sure someone will take it up, though. There's still tons of money in BW. Who would the best people be to do it? I know BW fans don't like GOM a lot, but they're really good at getting foreigners to watch GSLs, and I think getting more foreigners to watch BW and support it is a fairly rich and undervalued revenue mine. The Chinese? | ||

Is it generally accepted it will die out over the next few years? What is the reaction to these announcements? Korean eSports/BW fans/netizens are shocked and OUTRAGED at the news, and Korean interest in BW is definitely not dwindling at all. In fact, more interest may be generated by the news happening right now. It is definitely not generally accepted that BW is going to die out soon amongst Korean eSports fans, and almost every single Korean eSports fan out there is not willing to accept it if it happens. BW is still very popular in Korea today and gets many viewers for live broadcasts on TV. My 4000th post in this thread of all threads... *Sadface* Oh well. | ||

It makes us wonder of course because MSL seems to have been cursed with lousy finals/playoffs. What happens if instead of ZvZ finals or TLBS knocking each other out in groupstage, we can have them meet at the end phase of the tournaments instead. Surely the ratings will be better. Will it be enough though? | ||

Its not the ratings, its MBC is restructuring, ratings are still strong. to a fucking music channel, and they have fucking no chance of getting ratings on a music channel. | ||

When the hell will people stop making stupid threads and comments a blogs and whatever other crap about "how good would it be if Bisu switched OMG" or "why is it so bad it will make SC2 better I can't wait!!  ". It's so damn tiring to have to fend off these clueless noobs who have been around for five minutes and already feel like their opinion is worth a damn.Wish they'd all take their single collective IQ point and stick it. Ridiculous. There is not replacement. BW should not and must not die. | ||

BW is still very popular in Korea today and gets many viewers for live broadcasts on TV. If the moronic MBC execs do decide to proceed with this, the Korean govt needs to step imo. It's going to be very damaging to esports (not just BW) if the channel completely dissolves. I don't really care if the brand name "MBCGame" doesn't exist any longer, so long as the channel/team survives in some manner. | ||

No reason to go hate on your fellow Starcraft brother, especially not right now with all this happening. The only way we can keep Broodwar alive for as long as possible is if we stick together. | ||
