If this does not happen, the players will be drafted to different teams based on how much they're willing to pay for that player (and if two teams bid on a player, the one with the highest gets that player). If a player does not get picked up by a different team, then they will probably have to retire. For WC3 and SC2, it's not known. The current head coach and/or WeMade staff will discuss and help with individual plans for those players. They will probably also join the BW players at the YongSong stadium for practice (though not sure if their computers are up-to-date for SC2). Their best players like Mind and Moon will most definitely be picked up by different teams. | ||

Maybe a few of the B-teamers who still wanna play games for a living but can't find a place to go. I get the feeling most Brood War pros play Brood War because they like the game, not because they want to make a lot of money. They might take it as the change they need to start their life in a more reliable career/education/etc. I don't think any of the A-teamers are planning on switching to SC2 tho, since they'll have the ability to play on other teams. It's weird how many SC2 players think SC2 is the natural progression. For a lot of people, especially everyone who doesn't play it, it's really not that attractive. Maybe I shouldn't, but I do find it offensive when SC2 players see some trouble in the BW community and immediately pounce on it to say "HEY MAYBE EVERYONE WILL MOVE TO SC2 LOL." Maybe this is a Brood War forum and no one cares about how it will affect SC2. Why do you even browse BW if all you have to talk about is SC2? There's no rule against this, but it gets tiring hearing it every time there is any news in the BW community. Hey Flash is a free agent do you think he'll join SC2??? KLOLAFWEWEFA@W# | ||

I really hope that WeMade is bought by another sponsor, but in event of a draft, I'll be pissed if KT and SKT picks up likes of Baby, Roro, Mind, etc., That will make the PL a 2 horse race and just about guarantee another SKT vs KT final (unless CJ pulls through) which will encourage more sponsors to leave BW. I hope instead of bidding war, Kespa give the team who finished last the first pick, second last the second pick, and so on to make the league more competitive. | ||

It would certainly help F United's chances, because the WeMADE are fucking awful at SC2, to the point where they were embarrassing the foreigner half of the team :/. The WeMade SC2 players are basically done with SC2. Who wants to pay money for Moon or Lyn in SC2? | ||

The WeMade SC2 players are basically done with SC2. Who wants to pay money for Moon or Lyn in SC2? Moon played the best out of the entire F.United team against SlayerS, actually. Lyn and Soccer were pretty horrible, though, but I guess not everyone can be game-juggling genies like Moon. That said, Lyn and Soccer clearly have the potential to do well in SC2; Lyn was in Code S up until a while ago and made it to the last round of the Code A qualifiers this past month while practicing for the WCG Korean qualifiers. Soccer has made it through the Code A qualifiers before as well, so he has talent and must have at least one good match-up. | ||

It was the highest for a cable channel with 1.777% viewership. In comparision, popular dramas and shows aired on non-cable (i dunno what the correct term is in English) often average above 20%. I don't think how much Flash's contract is worth is the best indicator for how BW scene as a whole is doing. Professional BW, like many other industries, is a pyramid. Very few at the top make a lot of money, but there are a lot more B-teamers and practice partners at the bottom who make next to nothing. The total funding that BW receives has definitely dropped a lot over the last few years. | ||

Don't see why you'd think it is sc2 bw flame igniting, I think you have a very incorrect impression of SC2 fans if you think that wanting players to go to another game is baiting. Did you consider he just wants to see his favourite brood war players play his favourite game?...Not everyone is out to destroy the world, sir. The desire is fine. It can become baiting depending where and how it is expressed. | ||
