I'd argue it would be time better spent pushing SC2 "for esports", rather than trying to pressure MBC into pursuing an unprofitable venture that will if anything detract investors from esports. | ||

Edit: i only care for bw, if they will do something like switching everything to sc2 they rather should close down the game part of MBC. | ||

If you cared for whatever the hell this "ESPORTS" craze is, you'd be trying, like the rest of us. TRYING; To save MBC Game, Brood War, and 'Esports'. Pushing for them to try and keep it, would be a lot better than to sit on our asses and not care about it. We're pushing to keep MBC there, in order to keep a strong influx of players and audience. To keep Brood War at it's fullest;; because we care about it, and its a huge part of us here in our little corner of TL, and our lives. If you're from Starcraft 2, and are thinking: "SC2 is my sport" Or "BW Dying! SC2!" Then I'd like you to take a moment to think about how Brood War is keeping Korean's intrested in Esports, and Starcraft 2 is not as popluar yet in Korea, should the day come, and Esports is long forgotten, where will all of the new Nestea's, MC's, MarineKing's come from? There won't be any legends to come over, like Boxer, NaDa, July or even B teamers. And the skill level from Brood War players switching over, helps keep the skill ceiling high, and so the foreigners try to keep up to that rising ceiling. We're trying our best, of what we can do, hell I'm in a Holiday Inn somewhere right now, and I'm trying to Support Brood War. | ||

I'd argue it would be time better spent pushing SC2 "for esports", rather than trying to pressure MBC into pursuing an unprofitable venture that will if anything detract investors from esports. Remember that MBC is an eSports channel which broadcast many types of games. Its not only a BW channel. If you really love eSports you would support MBCgame. For all I care they could be streaming Starcraft 2 two years from now when GOMTV license thingy expire or they we're given permission to stream. And even if this won't change anything I would rather try to do something than just let this moment pass.

MBC게임 히어로 없어지면 안되요 (We can't do without MBCGame Hero) e-스포츠 사랑하는데 MBC게임 살려주세요 (We love e-sports please save MBCGame) They definitely understand you even if you tweet in English. The #savembcgame tag is quite obvious. A few Korean fans have also retweeted your messages so they know what it's about. | ||

I'd argue it would be time better spent pushing SC2 "for esports", rather than trying to pressure MBC into pursuing an unprofitable venture that will if anything detract investors from esports. If they cancel MBCGame in spite of Broodwar, than pushing SC2 will not convince them. MBCGame closing only hurts SC2, and Esports, because it's not a pure BW only channel. If SC2 ever wants to grow from more than a popular internet stream, then it will need legitimately channels on TV for it to be watched on, one of which is MBCGame. | ||

What you don't get is that SC2 is tiny in Korea, it isn't taking off at all, and if MBC were to broadcast SC2 at some point if ever then that would be helpfull for SC2 in Korea. Without MBC there is no good venue for either BW, SC2, Special forces etc to broadcast. Its bad for SC2 aswell if MBC dies. | ||
