So sad..... T.T

Why do people keep talking like they are going to switch games when they aren't? Seems like these people are trying to put more fuel to the fire which is not a very smart thing to do in a BW thread.

I've never understood this. If Jaedong became a professional bowler, would you watch that? What about shuffleboard? Parcheesi? Do people who claim not to like SC2 but admit that they would watch [insert BW pro here] if he switched just have such great personal affection for their favorite BW pros that they'll watch any media in which they appear, or do they believe that the entrance of a Jaedong or a Flash will have an impact on the fundamental problems keeping SC2 unwatchable that legions of B-teamers and top foreigners could not? I'm honestly curious.

I'm not sure if this is a deep philosophical question that's gone over my head, but no, I don't watch Boxer's SC2 games. I watched a couple shortly after he switched (in general, I watch a few SC2 games every month in an effort to remain fair to the game) and they were as boring as every other SC2 game I'd ever seen, so I shrugged and gave up.

It really just depends how big of a fan you are. I like boxer, but I've yet to go see any of his games. On the other hand, I like Nada a lot more, so I went to go watch him play at wcg, even though I find watching SC2 rather boring as well. Especially since it was like, 3 TvTs in a row :|
But if Bisu were to switch, you can bet I would show up to every one of his games. If not to watch him play, then to at least see him in person. And take pictures like the crazy fangirl that I am ^^

you can't have dts and hts in the same building in sc2. it would be utterly imbalanced, especially vs terran

Could this be the real Bisu? http://sc2ranks.com/kr/1579721/Bisu
1,233 points. Won 164, lost 86 (65.60% wins)
Korean GM Toss with a whopping 65.60% which is extremely good.
I know that there are a lot of players who use faux-pro names (fauxer/fake-boxer/MKP) but in this case this person is very skilled. One can only imagine who this could be but I really hope it's the real thing :D

I like Bowling and i like Jeadong, yes i would watch him. But serieusly 
there is a combination of the 2. Any E sport's becomes better if you have some one you root for or some one your a fan off, the game becomes so much better.
I enjoy Sc2 it's not BW yet but it has potential and i am confident about it in the future, so Jeadong playing Sc2 would feel better to me then him retiring, as selfish as it may be.
What would please me more is he keeps playing BW for now, he's an icon and BW is far from dead, i wish he would stay but i would follow him in about any Esports he would pick really.

The wraith got replaced by the Banshee. Once someone tells leta about that I think he'll be ok.

Yep, I'd really like to see Leta stack 11 banshees and try and shoot overlords and mutas. Dunno how much BW you played, but 2 port wraith is a lot sexier and way less risky than 2 port banshee.

I think Kespa is reaching out to Blizz in order to feel if there is a possibility of working together on SC2.
Kespa realizes that BW is a thing of the past (even if it is the better game) and the zeitgeist goes for SC2. In the past month there have been many signs that BW become less and less relevant (no msl, no second TV chan, corporations stoppinng funding teams etc). Kespa simply needs to keep itself relevant in a fast changing world. It cannot deny the facts on the ground. Thus they came to Blizzcon with some of the stars in order to talk to Blizz itself and to get intouch with the worldwide SC2 scene. The players should see for themselves if they liked the atmosphere of SC2 and should think about it.
Korea and the world in terms of SC is the same with Japan and the world in terms of MMA. Japan was the center of MMA 10 years ago with all the money in it. But when the US folks got interrsted, the opportunities shifted to the US and thus Japan became irrelevant. The same is happening right now with SC. The BW market and thus the interest of Korean coproartion to fund teams is fading, while the funding for Western tournaments is on the rise.
Kespa knows: If you miss the wave there will be no second one coming.
