From what I can see, as it is now, SK BW is in an unstable situation with no clear progression forward. BW continues to be the fan favorite, but sponsors are abandoning it. Meanwhile, they also notice SC2's relatively low popularity in SK, so instead of potentially "betraying" the SC1 scene and start sponsoring SC2, they may end up abandoning esports altogether. It's a lose-lose situation. I know that there are always going to be fanatics on both sides, with diehard BW fans that demand old-style UI and LAN, and annoying SC2 idiots on the other side. But I hope that HoTS fixes enough shortcomings to allow the BW and SC2 communities to merge together. Very wishful thinking, I know... | ||

Not taking issue with the fact that current BW pros would increase the skill level of SC2 by about 20 times, but the fact that you came here suggesting that we should be happy about the idea. Hmm I'm still questioning the sources of these articles on various different things- seems like we're really short of concrete facts right now. | ||

BW is slowly dying, while SC2 gameplay has shortcomings.

I just really feel like you don't get it... not wishing to be rude, but so many people have said this kinda thing to us. But we do not want to transition. We are not waiting for SC2 to be made better. We do not want to stop playing and watching BW, that really is the crux of it, and nothing can replace it- not SC2, not anything. So please stop saying it. It's already derailed a million threads. | ||

And yes, I totally get what you're saying - you're one of the diehard BW fans that I mentioned. | ||

this was my first season following proleague every day/week, all year long, and i do think there was some fat to be trimmed. too many undesirable games. but now if most teams can go 4+ deep instead of 2+ deep we get higher quality games and more intense competition. it may not sound intuitive but i think situations like CJ, where the A-team is stacked, actually helps up-and-comers. the only way you will survive is by busting your ass from day one or you'll never even get to play live. i'd rather have fewer teams and less frozens/really's/ggaemo's/[insert retread veteran here]. i watch SC to see the bisus, the efforts, the hydras, the horang2's, the killer's. | ||

The one you quoted have already retired from the scene and I don't have problem with ggaemo and frozean because it's good to have young new rookie and problems with ggaemo ? Not at all because I like his style of playing zerg maybe it isn't really that S class but he is A class now in the Ace team . So i don't mind rooting for him and yes we all love all the top pro's but to only consider the top pro's are the best to watch all the time than you should watch Jangbi versus flash osl he maybe slumping but he gave us one hell of a surprised by eliminating flash 2-1 despite flash having a good recent streak against protoss and dominating that doesn't mean the game is already dead by just inserting flash into any match up and it's auto win . Starcraft takes lots of thing to take factor sniping build order,unpreparedness, surprise strategy can turn a game which could be a steam roll for bisu ,jaedong,flash fall to a no namer and that's what makes broodwar interesting .It's still changing I don't want to see bw to be dominated only by four players . It's time to see a revolution to let the new blood take the throne . So no, I prefer bw having lots of team and new players because with new players and team pulls in more interest and we may never know it would probably lead to more people playing the game again . With that I have never seen a game which is undesirable in bw except stork v ggplay 1hour 30 minute which is a torture  . | ||

Also, why is it so hard to understand that some people just like BW better? I've never watched BW because it was the newest game around, I watch it because I like it. Jeez.

Every time an SC2 fan comes into BW forums wishing this or that player would switch, they pretty much just affirming that The Elephant in the Room is real and that nothing has changed since it was written. You guys are being unfair. Ex-BW players have a HUGE head start going into SC2, that's why they do so well --- that, and most people who would be seriously interested in SC2 were already seriously interested in BW. Therefore the set of SC2 players who never played BW is very small and handicapped to begin with. It's not that SC2 can't create its own legends, it's just that the ex-BW players are numerous and way ahead of the game. And come on... If I were an SC2 fan, I'd be super hyped if Flash/Bisu went over to SC2. I just wouldn't be so insensitive and tell the BW fans it was good news for them.

It has been 24 hours over that jangbi versus flash and you are expecting people to not know about it and if you don't thats your fault .

You better back that statement with facts because most of the ex bw players that are in sc2 is not doing well not at all . Let's take july for example has his performance been good at all ? like nada ? I don't think so , that's already one down with your theory that all ex bw players immediate transfer to sc2 equals to dominating the scene . Different game , different timing , different feel its like from playing golf to base ball and a player who maybe has some batting experience tried to go pro from baseball to golf is not going to expect himself to be dominating the pgatour very soon . Likewise numerous comments that plague the bw forum when ever upsetting news come up like disbanding of teams ,closing mbc attracts lots of good forumers especially those in the interest in sc2 after all they want to reap the benefit of all the good players that we know . Selfish hoping isn't it ?. | ||
