Anyways, I hope it survives because it's obviously very important, but I can't justify creating fake interest that could hurt the company. gl guys Edit: as far as it hurts SC2 the loss of a major esports outlet like MBC game removes esports from the public eye a little more, and influences less people to take up starcraft in general (1 or 2), and therefore less pro-gamers. As well, the loss of something like MBC game can de-legitimize esports in general because many could start to see it as a less stable thing than it used to be, with channels folding etc. Things like MBC game create pro-gamers, and pro gamers play games, that improves esports because you have more talent/variety of people, as well as increases level of play potentially in their game, or any game they switch to. Don't forget that many SC2 progamers are SC1 pro gamers that switched. I expect many retired SC1 pro gamers may make the switch to SC2, so the potential for more skill in both scenes is good. That's all I could really think of off the top of my head lol | ||

Last thing I need for the OP is input on what to write for "How this hurts SC2" please! ? I have no problems with the video though, it plays straight away for me. Regarding SC2, people were talking about how SC2 can be taken to a bigger stage now that the Kespa-Blizzard conflict has been resolved. But how will that be possible when a big part of the infrastructure for esports broadcasting in Korea is wiped out if MBCGame is dissolved? OGN only will the only major esports channel left. | ||

That said, not sure if this can actually make any sort of difference, but anything whatsoever is certainly worth a shot! | ||

Write that if anybody truly cares about E-Sports, truly truly (not just saying it because it sounds so fucking noble), they'll lend a hand in preserving the future, sustainability, and acknowledgment of professional gaming in general. Korea is still the world's spawning pool for the best of the best starcraft players. If TV stations, prestigious tournaments like the MSL, and eventually sponsors start to phase out Brood War from signifigance, it's only a matter of time before a number of pro gaming teams and players are out of a job. Yes. Some of them WILL go to SCII if that happens. That's a probability. But if we're looking at this from a long term perspective, Korea will cease to be the world wide power in starcraft. That means no more MCs (iron), no more Nesteas (zergbong), no more Puma/Gentlemens, no more Losiras, no more Bombers (fancy), no more MarineKings (clare) no more Nadas, no more Julys, no more YellOws, no more BoxeRs. The mere existance of good Korean players, and good Korean players from BW ensures that the skill ceiling for SCII is incredibly high. It ensures that nobody has to watch crappy players like CatZ in tournaments when Thorzain and Naniwa aspire to compete with the Koreans. If there's no incentive for skilled players in Korea to join professional gaming, the entire scene as a whole will suffer. Don't be stupid and think that this doesn't effect you. If you truly truly care, you'll try and understand, and hopefully, help. | ||

BW = Korean scene, there's no international scene much anymore. MBC = 50% of Korean BW (OGN the other half) That's how it's going to hurt our ESPORTS - which is why we're showing support. I think everyone knows we can't really DO anything, but at least we're getting behind something we care about. | ||

I've never used Twitter before, and probably won't be using it for anything else anytime soon. | ||
