The article does not say BW players are switching to SC2.

The article says that kespa are considering about running an SC2 ProLeague.That is all.

As long as this doesn't end up phasing out BW I'm all for it. I have faith in Korea when it comes to BW. Not the world though.... The world has given up Actually, more like just moved on..

Anyways, I thought they should have done this aaaaages ago at launch. Instead Blizzard and Kespa decided to fight for a couple months :/ Co-existence = everyone wins [:

I have nothing against star2. As far as I'm concerned, its just more starcraft to watch when I run out of BW content. Lets just hope this doesn't end up killing BW in a year or two.. (Although I doubt BW is going anywhere.. Thanks Jangbi, you sexy sexy beast!)

yeah .. dedicated like the foreign community and its instant abandonment of the BW scene and how the leading 'figures' of the community ditch BW as if it never existed. I'm not here try to mindlessly bash blizz but the way they have been at it since the merge with activision only meant 1 thing to me. The death of the company that made the games I loved.


The problem isn't even with Activision. Blizzard never expected Brood War to become a pro-scene. If they knew it back in the day they probably would do much of the same as they are now. They thought they were just making a simple multiplayer option for those who those who want to find a quick game, it exploded to much more. Blizzard will NEVER make the same "mistake" ever again. Their hand is going to be buried deep in SC2, which is why they absolutely can't allow any other other servers or ladders, they must be the one-stop shop and screw you if you don't have internet access! :D

This thread is definitely in the wrong forum. The key word is KeSPA is *Considering* adding SC2, I doubt they'll do it, or at least until late 2012, even then it'll be just a pre-game joke for the actual BW attraction.

Can't believe KeSPA decides to do this instead of waiting for the BW scene to stablize with MBCGame gone. There's only one channel now... I wish to see the Tekken scene survive so that a variety of games will still remain.

Also, supporters of GSL and GSTL will have to consider that with an SC2 Proleague around, between those tournaments and foreign events, one of them may need to take precedence over the other. In other words, MLG, Dreamhack and GSTL may be affected greatly.

2 years contract or no, have fun other organizations if KeSPA gets its way.
MMOs kill APM. However Proleague plus BW Proscene music increase APM -> 100. 이제동 Fighting! Highest ranked Jaedong owner in FPL10 = clearly #1 Jaedong fan~! <- Keeping my sig from 2010

Just came by to drop a meaningless and completely deprived of interest post like "OMG this is huge!", therefore raising my post count by one.

As long as it's BOTH SC2 and BW this is of course fantastic news! But if there's any replacing going on here I'll boycott SC2 completely for the rest of my life.

I don't understand why you keep trying. People are stupid sometimes or then they just can't or bother read properly.

Do yourself a favor and let it be.

I don't think that I like the idea of SC2 under KeSPA management. Maybe if they are open to the foreign scene like GOM is, but IDK if that is possible.


They're going to have to be.

For one, the foreign scene is a lot bigger than the Korean scene at the moment, at least as far as number of players and popularity goes.

For two, GOM needs KeSPA to push SC2 for SC2 to become popular in Korea. But KeSPA needs GOM to allow them to run a proleague with SC2. The real concern is what will happen when GOM's SC2 exclusivity contract expires.

I'm kinda torn on this one. On the one side it's good for the popularity of SC2 in Korea. On the other side... I don't want KeSPA to run the whole thing

14 pages and so many topics and no one gets it.

We BW fans are becoming marginalized at every step. Of course we're going to be in defensive postures.

This website is clearly more focused on SCII than BW
The majority of us speak English and the English speaking world is clearly more focused on SCII.
Hell, we can't even watch our games in English or read about them in English.
Our player roster is being marginalized as more and more B teamers and old Bonjwas go over.
In almost every global event, BW is being marginalized if not cut right out.
Our forum here is a constant battleground, as we now are about 1/2 of the poster count
...

So...yea, now you're telling me that my PL is "meshing," with SCII?
I was more than fine with my game, my PL and my website. I have none of these things now, as they were.

I, of all people, don't want to start the war here but the fact is this is why we get pissy. Every, single, time.

Just try and think from our side next time you want to come in here and post like villageidiot or any of his ilk. We don't care that you like your game, we want you to enjoy it. We just want what once was back or at the very least to stop being squeezed in and nudged over to make room for the new puppy.

So, while you see it is "cooperation," and "sharing," we see it as just another in a long line of unfortunate events that continue to shrink and mold our sport alongside something it is not, taking away fans, airtime and players.

Either way, thank you for the news OP. It's always nice to know what is going on in the scene.
The mystery of life is not a problem to solve, but a reality to experience. **Hang in there STX fans!! Kal Hwaiting!**
