Oh come on, this is exactly what the OP was talking about

I think there is hostility because of the "If BW dies then SC2 gets better" or the other way around, i have grown fond of both games, and quite frankly i can see them coexisting together, other than that i dont understand why there would always be that one troll from either sides and starts a flame war, its not cool.

No one I know is hostile to ppl who are switching from sc2 to BW. Most hostility i notice is directed towards ppl who know absolutely nothing about BW trying to talk about the game like they play it everyday.

This. BW fans have to put up with a lot of bullshit posts like "Flash/JD/Bisu/X should switch to SC2", "BW is outdated", etc by people who clearly have never even watched competitive BW. Just look at all the hate that intrigue got when he wrote this. Facts that were obvious to anyone who was familiar with both scenes get shouted down by a legion of people who have only ever watched SC2 and still think their opinion is worth just as much as people who have been following Starcraft for years.

However, there's a general trend of SC2-bashing and not specifically SC2 fan-bashing. I get the impression that some BW-exclusive fans are becoming defensive because of the international popularity and fame that SC2 has gotten in just one year, and not to mention the fantastic prize pools. I personally still find BW more enjoyable to watch, but I've found many comments in the BW section about SC2 to be unabashedly biased to the nth degree.

There's some edginess between SC2 and BW fans. Many SC2 fans cannot accept that BW has a higher skill ceiling and that BW pros have dominated the SC2 scene today (international, especially American BW doesn't count since the scene was practically dead and the talent pool had already moved over to WC3). Many BW fans cannot accept that BW as an esport is dying; sponsors are harder to come by, young amateurs are switching over, teams are being disbanded, even TV channels are possibly dropping BW. While I'm sure that as long as the current A and S-class players continue playing, there will be enough fans to sustain pro BW for a while, I really don't think BW will outlast this TBLS era

Flash is the last bonjwa. Stork won't ever make a come back T.T
