not at all what I meant,and whatever what I said then is just me bitching about how SC2ers usually take BW news.
thanks to Manifesto7 I don't need to feel that way anymore.

Unfortunately for BW, I think that growth in SC2 scene keeps hurting the brood war scene because it's only a matter of time before the sponsors jump ship (especially since I think that younger up and comers are primarily going to the sc2 scene to make their name). We'll see if the BW scene can at least stabilize, even if it becomes secondary to SC2.

Which sponsors? The current BW scene is sponsored solely by Korean companies. If SC2 remains unpopular in Korea, those companies have no reason to switch over, because the main audience of SC2 are foreigners, and I don't see CJ or SKT looking at foreign nerds as a target group for their marketing. And don't think that the future of Korean gaming lies in SC2. Korea's future are MMORPG's.

You gotta point out to me the growth in the SC2 scene in terms of major non-niche sponsors. More chicken shops? Big salaries are indicative of a sponsors commitment (Flash 400k). Proleague finals recorded something like 8/10 males aged 15-19 watching or some other insane number. Seems to me you are way off base here and vastly over estimating sc2 popularity in korea

jesus christ are we ever going to know how many and what players are on the teams for the upcoming season?

they probly should take it back to 2 days max 3 days a week move to best of 7, there would be bigger audiences and less audience fatigue as it is not so common as to create the attitude that well i could just watch it tommorrow.

indeed if you look at the main (but not major i.e. no large corporations) sponsers of teams some are well known but they are mainly international brands (cocca cola., pepsi, etc) any way while the number of dedicated korean sponsers is quite low and the ones that do exist are usually relatively small companies (keyboard resellers, chicken take away places etc). Also a lot of korean sc2 teams form alliances with non-korean teams mainly as they dont have the money to send their players to foriegn tournaments (flights and such + the logistcal challenges translators)
To a certain extent though i think that people tend to overhype their respective sport likes or dislikes due to personal bias e.g. in australia a rugby fan will make it seem like it is the biggest sport ever, while an australian football fan will do the same ignoring the fact that both are popular but draw their fan bases from 2 different areas.
