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. | ||

Holding out hope that something else works out to give at least 2 major singles tournaments, and that this doesn't kill the proleague in the process. | ||

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. I don't know. I always thought of BW to be something more than just a sport. Something like art. In art it doesn't matter when the score was written and it's played if it is good. (Even better if you do know some historical background..). So I assumed that BW could live forever. Especially with such a famous history and legendary players. Naive, isn't it? | ||

Why were they even operating at a loss, when they had such top quality show, like best casters etc. OGN is the one that has been kind of slacking IMO, but probably its the general MMO plague sweeping over the rest of gaming entertainment True, true. TOday i was in the lab reading this fcuking news, when my friend asked me why I dont play MMO instead and saying BW is boring, no updates, same stuff u see everyday for years, while MMO has updates and is better graphic and all that shit. Then he proceeds to say, go play sc2, much better graphics. I almost flipped out and beat him up...Luckily, I was too sad and engrossed in this thread/news.... | ||

We're starting to get off-topic, I'll say this last statement, then I'll stop. I don't wish to discredit BW in the least, it obviously gave SC2 E-Sports a running start, but the push doesn't account for the success of SC2 E-Sports. If BW was the reason SC2 was so popular, it would have died 2 months in and BW would still be #1 in the E-Sports scene. The issue isn't a matter of "SC2 is bad" or "BW is bad". They're just different games. SC2 isn't the game you fell in love with. BW isn't the game I fell in love with. Doesn't mean we have to fight to the death over it. | ||

Why would we play a game because of better graphics? That make no sense. Edit: Ok ok sorry, no hate towards your friend but that's quite harsh from him | ||

And most people are right. SC2 has a very different feel so provides little comfort to many BW fans. | ||
