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!!

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.

The thing that everyone is picking up on is that this is the last MSL, but what will happen with proleague? With only half the air time, something will have to give.

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

An update from Fomos:

Basically, the management is still discussing this. They haven't made a decision whether or not to proceed with this. Even if they decide to proceed, they still have to seek the approval of the Korean Communications Commission (govt body) if they want to change the gaming channel into a music channel.


Yeah, if MBCGame wanted reactions, they definitely got them.

Looks like the Korean fans want to run over to Mullaedong LOOX HERO Center and voice their protests! I hope that the public outcries are loud enough to convince the KCC to decline the changes!


From those that know - what is the feeling in Korea? Is interest in BW dwindling? 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.

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.

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.

My 4000th post in this thread of all threads... *Sadface* Oh well.



OK, the passion among converted followers remains high, as expected in those who understand the depth and beauty of this wonderful game. 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.

Couldn't agree more. SC2 is no replacement for BW. If BW dies (please don't!!!) 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

I thought this was a joke when I read the title...

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.
