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. | ||

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. If you don't care, just ignore it. There is nothing malicious in SC2 fans wanting the best players in the world playing the game they follow. | ||

Likely the MBC team will be gone, and maybe one or two other teams will be gone after this season as well, but lots more will go down other than the end of MSL... sad to see | ||

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. I have small hope that the KCC rejects MBC's decision since Korea prides themselves as the country who made Starcraft progaming widely popular and as the "mecca of eSports". Korea considers Starcraft and eSports as a part of their culture, and I remember seeing an article that the current President Lee Myung Bak visited a Starcraft event once before he became President, and recall seeing other articles about former Presidents seeing Starcraft as not just a game, but something that spreads Korean culture and praising BoxeR for promoting eSports and Korean culture all over the world. Since MBC's decision, if it goes through, will be very damaging to eSports, I hope the KCC sees this as a damaging move to Korean culture as well and puts a stop to MBC's foolish idea. On the surface, it's damaging eSports. But on a deeper level, if you look at the cultural aspect of Starcraft and Korea, this is also damaging Korean culture. | ||

They can do it in the forgg thread in the SC2 section. This is absolutely the wrong thread, and it's just fueling flamewars down the line. | ||

Except they post it in a BW thread about BW ''dying'', and there are alot of people here(me including) who really can not use that right now. | ||

How about recruiting new followers? Are the kids still playing BW? I am very sure that BW gains many new players in Korea amongst kids every day. BW still remains as a popular game to play in PC Bangs, and almost every single Korean out there knows what Starcraft is if you mention it to them. With Starcraft being almost general knowledge in Korea, this surely generates interest and curiosity amongst kids to play a popular game. Plus kids like watching TV in general, so they will most likely notice some live BW matches going on while channel surfing. | ||

I'm done with eSports. yeah...i'm actually done with esports if BW dies for now. there is no other game with enough depth from both the players, game itself, infrastructure, commentators, etc. i don't think i've been this sad in a while....this may have been part of a deal between kespa and blizzard since it seemed like even kespa was interested in moving towards sc2; i mean, it's fishy b/c mbcgame doesn't really have a good reason to do this. if it is, well it'll just be another example of corporate greed stomping on a culture built upon passion, sweat, and tears by so many people because obviously, money trumps all | ||

Although I've never been an MBC fan this is horrible; can't believe they're just dropping BW after all these years. I guess I'll actually watch this MSL even though I haven't watched much BW lately. And seriously, MBC shutting down will not benefit SC2 so stop that shit. If this was a thread about MBC broadcasting sc2 I'd agree with those type of comments but this is nothing more than a blow to E-sports in general. | ||

Let me and the other mods deal with flame wars. Fueling them yourself surely won't help the issue (you = all angry people here). | ||
