BW is a fantastic game in and of itself. 2) KeSPA doesn't do anything too ridiculous (eg lets their players go to MLG and so forth)/GOM is able to coexist with new Proleagues 3) Teams are able to do awesome things with both games, and the metagame is given a boost to its evolution in both BW and SC2. Unfortunately, if an uninformed observer sees BW and sees SC2, they will see a resemblance, but there is no way they would choose BW on face value (i.e., superficial). The graphics are simply too outdated. This seems like a natural transition away from BW by including both. Eventually they will phase out BW if the fan base doesnt keep growing (and I cant see how it will grow with its better looking younger brother SC2 stealing the spotlight). | ||

Bear in mind that it is not that simple in Korea, BW is a sport and a culture, SC2 to them is just a game. E-Sports in general in Korea is struggling, people who switched from BW didn't switch to SC2, they switched to MMO's and shit. | ||

Maybe it could help the televise channels too if bw fans and sc2 fans can watch both games on the same tv channels | ||

Koreans generally know and like bw graphics. There were complaints that it's hard for spectators (who dont play the games they watch) to make stuff out in the big gfx-intensive battles. | ||

On another note, it would be nice to see PL on OnGame and individual leagues on GomTV. | ||

Edit: to be honest though, this might actually raise coverage of BW, which I am all for. | ||
