EPTI don't know what else to say... I still hope that they'll figure something out to keep at least the MBCGame team intact. Hopefully OGN has the capabilities to pick up the slacks...
MBCGame to shut down? - Page 44
| Forum Index > BW General |
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. | ||

As it turns out many of us were disappointed with SC2 sad that it wasn't what it could have been. Thus the point "there's always going to be SC2" is neither true, nor any consolation to us. | ||

Not to mention that mindlessly preaching that "there will always be SC2" is pretty bold when you're responding to news that a channel dedicated to esports is being eliminated due to a lack of commercial viability. Or do you think that MBCGame would have been saved if only it had started airing SC2? Give me a break. | ||

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. I agree I've felt the same thing before. But I guess in some sports you have different leagues that have different rules. Not sure what that means though perhaps an RTS that has a modular engine where the visual elements can be easily upgraded without modifying the core game-play. It would also mean the publisher/developer would need an ongoing source of income...who knows...maybe opensource rts? Either way can Broodwar last forever? I just can't see people playing it professionally in 20, 50 years without some sort of development support it's a shame Blizzard can't do something like quake did. About SC2 is it even shown in Korea in the same way as MSL? Isn't it pretty small time right now. | ||

Hopefully OGN can keep going - this also does not bode altogether too well for Proleague as well given that MBC and OGN jointly broadcasted the matches. | ||
