 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!) | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

People are stupid sometimes or then they just can't or bother read properly. Do yourself a favor and let it be.  | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
