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.

This changes EVERYTHING, what we once had will be lost..

Please people don't be stupid, what hurts any game hurts eSports, and yes this f*cking hurts.

Stream or not, I don't know about you, but I care. I haven't been around since the beta of SC but I can tell one thing, this won't help anybody or anyone.. This is a really sad day..

I would say that it helps the KPop scene--but I think BW did a lot of that all on it's own.

Bisu fans are gna rage so much if Flash wins this MSL like he usually does.

I didn't think anything from this thread could make me laugh. Good job.

Seriously though. This is horrible. If you haven't seen bitt.man's twitter thread yet, please take a moment to look it over.

Nooooooo! I want years more of this stuff. I need my Bisu fix! I need more taek-bang leesang! I know there's still the other tournaments, but if this goes through, this more than anything else feels like a death knell on the bw proleague scene.

Its a lot of personnel and infrastructure that was built up for competitive gaming at MBC to be just swept away. I could be possible that they perhaps sell their gaming related "section" to another company to get some money on their closure. In which case it might still exist in some format. Even it is just an online component.

You know what, I'm pretty intoxicated right now and I have to say that I'm ok with this.

Seeing how some shitty sc2 news thread like EG signing Puma getting more replies/views than the thread of MCBGAME POTENTIALLY SHUTTING DOWN and the potential end of Broodwar as we know it, makes me very very sad but also makes me realize that maybe, just maybe, that it's time.

Keep the tweets coming and hope. But if the worst comes, just know that we've had a good run and BW is and will forever be, immortal.
