They are struggling with some bw teams already, deciding to build brand new ones for sc2 is insanity. Where are they gonna get the sponsors? What's gonna happen to the current gstl teams? | ||

Still, they have to start somewhere! They're probably waiting how the talks with the license holders go. But yeah, more SC2 tournaments in Korea, more organisations getting involved, more broadcasts, more players being recruited/switching over - this can only be a good thing. | ||

If it hurts BW, don't do it. I'd rather have BW live longer than SC2 get some help. Oh and he possibility of teams having divisions? If they can have teams with 3 divisions they could make a system in which teams get points for their teams performance in each game and whoever has the highest total at the end wins like a intra-game team prize for that year or something. That would encourage teams to make each scene grow so they can get money and prestige from that. (Just an idea though) Either way hope this is good for all of eSports, not just SC2. | ||

No one is going to force anyone. That's ridiculous. If anything, as long as PL keeps its focus on BW, I'll be fine with this.

Then we can see Bisu, Flash, etc...playing SC2. The two games will have two separate tournaments, SC2 Proleague, and BW Proleague. If this even goes through, of course. | ||

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. Thank you. Fans of Brood War need to realize that the only thing that can come out of this is SC2 slowly taking media space from BroodWar and eventually killing it. And one more thing: Why are they even trying to combine this two games,except for name of the game and few units with same name they don`t have anything in common. Mechanics and gameplay is TOTALLY different. Blizzard is making tons of money from SC2 just just because it is sequel to Brood War,and now Kespa (or whoever it is) is trying to do the same. You say it is a great game,you say it`s better then Brood War? Fine. Start from 0 like Brood War did and then come to me in 10 years and we`ll see where will your game be then. It`s pretty easy to just take over from Brood War. But also it`s pretty unjust. | ||

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. I always thought Korea was sort of a saturated market with not that much room for growth. I was thinking more outside Korea. | ||
