It's really hard to express my thoughts on this and I might even contradict myself due to my wording, but you get the general idea. Hope all of these guys find jobs within SC. Anytime, my favourite protoss, better not leave me T_T | ||

Sorry for writing such a short answer, but it's as simple as that. I don't have a natural animosity against SC2 players, but after your post that was totally out of topic, only to tell us our game is outdated, your only argument being that it's "old, very very old", I do have animosity against you. Obviously, when some people from SC2 who didn't know Brood War much if at all, and are curious about it we are more than glad to welcome them : http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=280281 I asked for no flames and did not mean offense, and alas, there is one, maybe you missed the parts where I said I BW is hands down no questions asked an amazing game that will always be considered legendary amongst the RTS. And if you are trying to argue that it isnt outdated and that it isnt very old....lmfao. And saying its limping along after freaking 12 years is a compliment if anything, 12 years for the game to finally start dying out? My god, in that light BW looks like (and is in my opinion) a fucking masterpiece!! hahaha Thanks for all the intelligent responses everyone :D And to you endy....you sound awful mad bro. | ||

I love July, Nada, Boxer, etc. Always wanted them to succeed when playing SC. When they play sc2? I don't really care how they place in tournaments and whatnot. If they were the best player or the worst player on earth doesn't concern me. Of course because of my attachment to them I would want them to make money and whatnot, but in the end it's not the game I love. I LOVE Jaedong. If he went to do something else, of course I would kind of keep tabs on him, but ultimately it wouldn't be the same.

Anytime, my favourite protoss, better not leave me T_T if you read my posts you will also see myself contradicting too,yeah I get it maybe its only because of the fact that I do watch SC2 from time to time(lack of PL) that I've not lost any sense of attachment,but the way he put it out is so damn wrong and since I don't know this person at all it makes it hard to know what he thinks,but judging from what his responses are he is trying to say something like "if you don't play BW anymore, you don't exist". note to self:never engage in a pointless debate on a pointless topic where there is nothing at stake. | ||

I really hope that those five players can find a way to stay in BW as I quite like all of them :/ Also going to miss Lomo, though it was pretty obvious that he was very unlikely to perform well ever again. they probably had such a small salary/unknown reputation that they could afford to keep them on the kespa team and no other teams would be interested in bidding for them. the kespa team wont be successful without more practice partners. that's why it's important that they form a proper B-team for kespa (as well as more A-teamers) ASAP. | ||

I think its because they needed to have some mandatory 3 rookies on the team. | ||

Han Sang Yong (former head coach of Oz) who now coaches the Dream Team, thinks highly of Ryul2 and Speed (former Oz players) so that's why they were recruited even though they have not played any PL games. As for Sang, his record is quite good, 2 wins 3 losses in PL and a Bo3 win over Light in the OSL prelims. Also, you can't have Jae Ssang (Jaedong + Jaehoon) without  Jae Sang. Edit: It's often been said though that Sang is a lucky guy. Which is quite true since he's 1 of only 4 MBC players to find a new team. | ||

The game isn't outdated, it's still being played professionally. you probably haven't watched a game of professional brood war in your life. get to know the game before you hate on it. | ||

You can't post something totally out of topic and simply ask "I don't want to be flamed". It's not because you said at the beginning of your post that BW was a legendary game that you can write bullshit right after. Your logic is flawed. I never tried to argue the game wasn't old. What I said is that your only argument was "very old => outdated", which simply doesn't make sense. Is football outdated just because it's over a century old ? You mentioned graphics ? This is highly subjective. Most people in this thread do prefer BW graphics over SC2 graphics. Oh after re-reading your post, the only other thing you put forward to try to convince us the game is outdated is seeing the same names...same faces....same strategies...That have been executed for years...come on, eventually old has to give way for new in that regard. which is simply ignorant. There are new players, there are new maps, we have new strategies as well as metagame shifts very often. Or when there aren't new players, we have old players who were slumping and came out of nowhere to win an OSL. Every BW fan here will agree that Jangbi's path to victory last OSL was breathtaking. Who are you to tell us what we should like ? If you have more convincing arguments in store, please do send me a PM as I don't want to derail this thread further. | ||

Go watch Hiya vs. Boxer (you've got to know that one), or Stork vs. Hiya from Bacchus '10. That was a really fun series. And also why I think Hiya should go to Khan. He and Stork could just be dorks together all day <3 | ||
