MBCGame to shut down? - Page 55

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 sad as this, i'm more sad that people still keep capitalising all of the word esports, it's not an acronym, so if you want to follow that logic spell it ESports, or E-Sports, or if you want to follow late 90s eMail convention/KeSPA style call it eSports. Or just stop equating everything that's good or bad for SC2 as a grand indictment/celebration of every other professional game.

I just can't help but feel that if MBC stops that it will be lights out for BW. I hope I'm wrong, but this feeling won't go away

Actually it's properly spelled ESPORTS.

This makes me feel sad. Even though I started following BW relatively late and I'm now more into SC2 this just feels so wrong. BW is a fantastic game and has a great history and I don't want to see part of it dying like this.

I don't give a shit if this will boost SC2 popularity in any way, I just want both games and ESPORTS to prosper.
It can't be helped. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Multiple MLG Events were on the American TV station USA.


Yeah but the viewership wasn't high enough to continue it after 2006, which is why in 2007 it was on G4 and now they don't do it at all anymore. To be fair, it was highlight clips and a general overview of each tournament with a good production value and it wasn't anything close to live (The first episode aired like 8 months after the first event).

Meaning as of right now, there isn't really a good market for it to be successfully put on television outside of Korea.


StarCraft 2 was on USA in 2010.

And before Effort returns, no less...

Seems like only yesterday when we had all of this to look forward to in a single year:

WCG Korea
WCG
GOM
MSL
OSL
PL/WL

I'm trying to be as optimistic as possible, but with the way the "Nothing has been decided yet" article was worded, along with the reported twitter comments by the commentators... I just don't know.

I've got an idea, lets put all our efforts into Maverck's bw mod, and make it exactly like BW. Then get them to broadcast SC2BW and eventually everyone will watch that. Screw SC2

I don't believe thats possible. I remember reading somewhere that a problem with recreating BW feel was due to the fact that in BW a unit can only move in 16 different directions whereas in SC2 its pretty much infinite. Theres not point if it looks like BW but doesn't feel like BW.


It's possible that someone would figure it out, or that Blizzard could actually just make a setting for this in the editor. They constantly update the SC2 map/mod editor to have new features that are only useful in very limited circumstances. This could be one of those circumstances.


What are the chance you think they will work on it? It's as good as asking them to patch Broodwar.

How many players do you think can live off just GSL? If BW folds, I think most will continue their studies or look for another career.

When one of the 3 pillars goes down, you can't expect the 2 pillars to hold too long, even if they do for a little while.

I guess it's time to say good bye to esports for me. I stopped watching SC2 about a month ago and have no interest in coming back. All I watch is BW. I know OGN will still be here, but for how long? Sigh....
