When those aren't around nobody randomly goes to aggravate SC2ers for no reason. | ||

"Does anyone else find this interesting? Imma pop open a beer" and just sat there and watched. Also it's not like we don't discuss SC2 ourselves. We watched HuK play the other day alongside that kpop thingamabob and OSL/MSL (er what was it). Personally i would watch more sc2 if it were not for GomTvT. (also the finals of Code A was terribad) Also Yellow vs Boxer. sif we're not gonna watch that. | ||

I find it works both ways, BW elitists are hostile towards SC2 while there are also SC2 players hostile towards BW. | ||

If that didn't happen, bw elitists won't hold much grudge. And the korean culture is very sensitive to foreign culture in regards to how business is ran. Seeing as the blizz vs kespa has now been resolved, I think this hostility will soon fade in time. | ||

I'm not hostile towards SC2. I just don't care at all about it, so I'd rather not have to scroll further to get to the BW forums. | ||

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 BW fans have to put up with a lot of bullshit posts like "Flash/JD/Bisu/X should switch to SC2", "BW is outdated", etc by people who clearly have never even watched competitive BW.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. | ||

more polite, well written, well reasoned and explained than the SC2 forum. E: especially regarding 'strategy' | ||

Most fans for either side either respect or don't care for each side. Some SC2 fans are kiddies that can't see past outdated graphics or can't appreciate history. And some BW fans are just disillusioned with Blizzard antics and with SC2 not being similar enough to SC1 | ||

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 | ||

And I have to say that since SC2 was released I fell that the number of trolls has increased significantly. Also I'm under impression SC2 fans are younger than average BW fan (make sense since SC1 was released in 1998) and hence less mature which I find also annoying. But to re-iterate: "I just don't care about SC2; at all, whatsoever." | ||

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.

Stork won't ever make a come back T.T I don't think so, I mean everyone fully understands BW will die and that isn't the problem. What annoys people are either people coming purposefully to taunt people at any sign of BW's scene having problems. That and the never ending "y u no move on to sc2???" I don't know about you guys but when BW dies I'll probably wash my hands of RTS and eSports. Tried SC2 (the BW people were the most hyped about sc2 back in the days ) didn't enjoy it. Felt nothing like BW and I don't see a game like BW coming back for a long time so adios~ | ||
