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 think the best what can be done now is to integrate all the good parts of the BW pro scene into the upcoming SC2 pro scene so that the scene will live on even though the game was replaced.

This I think is a symptom of a general issue with esports as a thing compared to traditional sports like football or tennis. Traditional sports stay roughly the same with technological improvements that get added into the game but don't change the fundamental aspect while with esports eventually a game will become outdated graphically. BW as is could well last another 10 years but to create a truly timeless esport they need to at some points introduce upgrades to the game so that younger generations will consider watching as newcomers.

This is pretty terrible news but I think the writing for this was on the wall quite some time ago. SC:BW has lost most of its colorful personalities who really kept the community together.

Edit: And let's see God Young Ho grab the last one ever and win the OSL at the same time x2!

Oh so your argument is okay old game pretty boring lets change the rules in chess and probably even new more pieces to make it more interesting for the new generation . Sure everything is done needs to go with time that argument is pretty farce in my opinion are you trying to say that anything that has work before and tried has to be washed down the drain just to accommodate to the markets these days . Especially the ADD generation ? I don't think so traditional sport such as golf itself retain its competitiveness despite there being new technology to get the ball more higher , to cut the slice, to make sure your drive gets 30 yards more longer . Has the game change ??? I don't think so why does it have to change for broodwar ? For people are not willing to put in time to get better to enjoy a game that what is needed is much more time and understanding ? .

Bw itself it's sport it demands that you have a strong mentality that you are able to win against no matter what is the odd is laid in front of you . You have to have strong nerve because if you don't you are surely probably will gg the first time you are played upon crowds of fan and pressure in front of you . In other words no we don't have to water down the already needed requirements for bw to be a game to reach masses and if you want to do so . Please kindly go to another rts game made by blizzard just recently released .

cmon guys, there's always going to be SC2. BW downfall is inevitable, since SC2 has gone global, and sc BW is only still popular in Korea
Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.
