I have nothing to say about hiya, usually pro players who stream rarely comes back to the proleague game they use to play for there is a trend that has been going around .Here's hopping for a optimistic outcome for all of them . | ||

Agreed. Do people hate SC2 so much that they will hate a player they previously liked? The unfortunate truth is yes. Some people do. I've come to terms with the fact that people aren't exactly rational long ago. Half the people who act like that, though, I've noticed, haven't been around too long to begin with, oddly enough. | ||

I can sympathize with hating any player who becomes The Turncloak, and brings the death of BW. | ||

I hope 4 who want to continue in BW find new teams (even Shine), but I especially hope Midas finds a home. As for Hiya, I hope he has a change of heart and gives BW another shot. From the translations in the thread about him streaming games it seems the environment in Hwaseung wasn't so good. Maybe a change in scenery at a more player friendly team like STX or Khan would do him some good. If not then I still wish him luck in SC2. It's better to see Hiya in the GSL booths than not playing games at all. | ||

So far I haven't seen any organisation like that exist until now , It's either make a pro game team become the best or left to rot and go back to college. | ||

MBC, Fox and Oz each had 14-17 players on their teams so its around that size. | ||

Indeed. | ||

He's no Jaedong, who is still commanding a massive salary playing BW, Jaedong himself said that he WILL be making the switch to SC2 once the time is right, and I dont care if Jaedong switched to fucking League of Legends, hes one of my favorite RTS players ever, I will follow him. Hiya is a great player, but he didnt get picked up, still wants to be a pro gamer, and Starcraft 2 is expanding rapidly. "i never said i hated him, i just said hes dead to me. i dont care about him anymore" I hope you arent the image for the majority of BW fans, if so, maybe its a good thing that BW is on its last legs, it will weed out the "fans" like you and leave actual fans. | ||

I do agree with legatus as I do have the same opinion as him, I am fan of these players because they are playing the game i like . Even If they do switch to sc2 , they aren't the same players that I already shared and experience because I no longer share the same opinion like they do . | ||

I think the point is you were never really a fan of him, you just follow the bw elitism of the top teir because it is what the cool kids are doing. You could easily say you were never a fan and you dont care. No one would be confused with that. But to say someone is dead to you is just silly. But to each his own i suppose. It is just unnecessarily harsh for no real reason at all. You can still like his play post-BW retirement. Instead hes dead to you. | ||

We have to let ForGG gain some strength in the SC2 scene before another BW pro switches over. We can't have too many switching over at the same time, otherwise it'll be too much. | ||

Lucifer'd better play SC2, I can definitely see a mediocre protoss like him be a new MC. Saint could be a good commentator, but now that MBC Game closed down.... Lomo is too cute to be a policeman... Pure, not sure what his plan is. Hiya, too bad the Kespa team already got two very good terran, you'll be missed, keep streaming Magikarp ! Ruby, I liked you TvZ, but I don't see any team that would pick you. Midas, please don't retire little bear ! Shine, as a Bisu/Stork fan, I only wish that you'll keep playing so that my favorite players can revenge. | ||

For myself, I enjoy BW because I am amazed with the great play, and I'm even more amazed that an actual person is playing this game at 300+ APM while microing/macroing/multitasking/strategizing, something that I as another human being cannot do even with years of training. I don't think anyone, except for you apparently, can watch years and years of some bots going at it in proleagues and starleagues. The rivalries, underdogs, prestige, and the domination of some players makes me stick to BW. | ||

Midas should definitely still play. The B-teamers should do what they want. I wouldn't mind if they switched and started owning up the scene. I think it's reasonable if they earned a bit of the spotlight for their years of hard work. But I'd like to see some more ppl like firefist and end up in a respectable career. If Lomo wants to become a traffic cop it's his decision. | ||

But what is it with all the hate that Starcraft 2 gets from all of the BW fans??? Yes, the players in BW had to have 300 + APM, but that was a necessity, due to a sloppy interface/AI pathing system, while it showed great skill and definitely increased the skill ceiling, it certainly doesnt make the game all that more entertaining to watch (strictly my opinion there, you cant "see" them performing all of the tedious macro/pathing executions) Yes, BW was/is/will always be a fucking LEGEND, AMAZING games with AMAZING players....But its old....Very very old. SC2 has an immediate spectator advantage, the graphics are gorgeous, and its able to be filmed in full HD. The computers they play BW on is equivalent to making toast with the exhaust of a launching rocket ship, the game is just straight out old and outdated graphically. BW is almost strictly in Korea, and Korea was always the most dominate by a landslide, which is cool and everything, but 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. SC2 is all over the world, and because it is such a new game, the potential is virtually unlimited, considering it will change drastically with every new expansion, we have YEARS AND YEARS of new and exciting faces and strategy :D :D How could any true SC fan NOT be stoked over that??? And BW is just, kind of limping along at this point, from a business standpoint it completely makes sense, sponsors are seeing the massive potential for growth in SC2, and are wanting to invest in something that is up and coming, not something that will eventually be a ghost of the past, its all about the money, and while there is still formidable amounts of money for the tip...tip...tip top players in BW, I cant see any new comers going to the scene, and neither do the sponsors, its just financially unsound to invest in BW when you can invest in something that is catching the E-Sports scene on fire worldwide. This is ALL just my opinion, please dont flame me, but this is how I see it, and just answer me, what is with all of the animosity towards SC2 from BW fans??? I am sorry if this made anyone mad by the way. | ||

The only people that think BW has been stagnant are the people that don't understand what they're watching. There is so much more depth and variety in BW than there is in SC2, even today. Watching SC2 is an extreme bore except for a few choice players. | ||

I can understand the sentiment. For me I don't wish ill on July or Nada or Boxer, but I just don't care about anything they're doing really since they switched. The magic was in those individuals playing that certain game. Now, there are players I care about as much as I did those three in SC2, but they're new because the combination is right. As far as Hiya is concerned I'll ever want BW to live on, but as has been previously stated maybe he'll have the personality for it. Maybe he'll make me fall in love with that instant all over again by playing SC2. But I already love him where he is and as a fan it's a hard thing to gamble on when you're thinking about where you want them. Thrilled that Shine and Ruby as staying on, but I just wish Hiya would too. Here's to hoping ^_^ | ||

If you can't see why they aren't true, then you probably don't understand the game or the scene well enough. | ||

I appreciated July's plays in BW but that's about it, i'm not his fan as a person (nothing against him really, just not a fan) ... I never said his opinion was invalid ,I don't understand the extreme change in how one person can view another. one day its I like this guy,the next you're dead to me...thats what ticks me off. how is that a change of view on the person? he doesnt care about the person outside of broodwar now so if they switch 2 SC2 he just doesnt watch them or whatsoever.... the whole time i read t his thread i ask myself if you guys just dont want 2 understand it. he doesnt hate hiya and no he doesnt want him dead he just doesnt give a shit about SC2 so if hiya switches he is "dead" he is not watching him anymore. and yes i wouldnt watch Jaedong play some LoL shit or even SC2. Iam fan of him because of what he does in SC1 not in some other game i dont like. you are only a fan of what jaedong does in BW,not of him. I'm not arguing this anymore,its a complete derail,if you want to continue take it to PMs. i became a fan of him because of BW. and i might follow some stuff outside of the game if he switches. but i wont watch a game i fucking dont like just because he is playing. u would eat some tiger balls just because jaedong likes them or what? are tiger balls good? i dont like them. but since jaedong likes them i have 2 eat them so i can be his fan right? ![]() I dont think one person in this thread on any side said you have to like something just because someone your a fan of someone does. BR even said hate the game not the player. In this case i guess its hate tiger balls?... and not the player. I dont even know how you got to this point. No one said if hiya did sc2 full time that you had to enjoy sc2.... just like if he started playing a FPS full time like COD you dont have to enjoy it. confusing. At any rate i think its awesome a pro-gamer would choose to be a cop, especially if its a traffic cop. Thinking about it, that micro has to have some good real-life applications! :D And why not micro traffic. | ||

SC2 is all over the world, and because it is such a new game, the potential is virtually unlimited, considering it will change drastically with every new expansion, we have YEARS AND YEARS of new and exciting faces and strategy :D :D How could any true SC fan NOT be stoked over that???

This is ALL just my opinion, please dont flame me, but this is how I see it, and just answer me, what is with all of the animosity towards SC2 from BW fans??? I am sorry if this made anyone mad by the way. Perhaps its biased on having watched BW for so long but I personally find it harder to watch SC2 especially when units are clumped together, in BW it's easier in general to count the amount of units and see then if the opposite player manages to hold you would think his strong micro probably contributed to it. In SC2 battles IMO it's more difficult to see. But the thing that really kept me interested in BW is the level of execution the players had. Again its just my opinion but as a D level player, the things pros were able to do were things I could NEVER do even if I played the game for another 4-5 years. In SC2, while I will not be able to execute as well as them, it didn't feel like I could NEVER do those stuffs but just not do it as effectively. I'm not sure if others feel the same way, but I guess BW being a classic, and perhaps the simplified mechanics in SC2 made people feel it is not as well done hence the animosity. Also, TL before SC2 was mainly a BW site that covered korean BW scene, so IMO its understandable that when a lot of new members came, there was some misinformed ideas about BW being just all mechanics without strategy and old graphics that really angered BW fans. | ||

Until they'd officially announced the formation of the Dream Team, all we'd heard throughout the off-season were negative rumours. Naturally this put off a lot of BW fans. | ||

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. | ||

The computers they play BW on is equivalent to making toast with the exhaust of a launching rocket ship, the game is just straight out old and outdated graphically. BW is almost strictly in Korea, and Korea was always the most dominate by a landslide, which is cool and everything, but 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. SC2 is all over the world, and because it is such a new game, the potential is virtually unlimited, considering it will change drastically with every new expansion, we have YEARS AND YEARS of new and exciting faces and strategy :D :D How could any true SC fan NOT be stoked over that??? And BW is just, kind of limping along at this point, from a business standpoint it completely makes sense, sponsors are seeing the massive potential for growth in SC2, and are wanting to invest in something that is up and coming, not something that will eventually be a ghost of the past, its all about the money, and while there is still formidable amounts of money for the tip...tip...tip top players in BW, I cant see any new comers going to the scene, and neither do the sponsors, its just financially unsound to invest in BW when you can invest in something that is catching the E-Sports scene on fire worldwide. This is ALL just my opinion, please dont flame me, but this is how I see it, and just answer me, what is with all of the animosity towards SC2 from BW fans??? I am sorry if this made anyone mad by the way. Because we have people like you telling us that the game we love is limping and its graphics suck (which is really unrelated to the thread by the way). 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. 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. | ||

Agreed. Do people hate SC2 so much that they will hate a player they previously liked? Well, it is a tender time, and BW may be on its last legs. I can sympathize with hating any player who becomes The Turncloak, and brings the death of BW. What is Hiya doing to bring the "death of BW"? He's OUT OF A JOB. I mean think about it for a second. someone else wrote I wish Lucifer would consider switching to SC2 instead of retiring. The "Lee Young Ho to SC2!" thread would be the biggest rickroll in TL history. LOL that would be fucking incredible. And then we link the Flash - Lucifer game on that space map where Flash got so ahead that he denied bunker harass by upgrading Marine range. Sawamura If only there exist an organisation made by gamers and for gamers to protect these players right and to see them go through society and such . I'm pretty sure that's how KeSPA started right? But anyway they've done the best they could under the circumstances. They could never keep 3 teams' worth of players on the payroll, but keeping a select few that are likely to get sponsored seems like the best move. someone else I hope you arent the image for the majority of BW fans, if so, maybe its a good thing that BW is on its last legs, it will weed out the "fans" like you and leave actual fans. I don't think he is --- most BW fans can muster up enough goodwill to wish a departing player good luck when they leave for personal reasons. Saying he's "dead to me" is pretty damn emo.

Yeah it's pretty hard to understand not appreciating the people involved... at all. Ideas I pretty much agree with Legatus Lanius. I LOVED July, but ever since he switched to SC2 I don't follow him any more because I can't stand watching SC2 and don't care about it at all. Switching to SC2 is essentially just retiring to me (it's basically what poker used to be for BW pros to retire to), and I really hope hiya doesn't follow that path. I'm just judging by your prior posts, but I sort of doubt you'd call July "dead to you." I mean sure you don't follow his games. I don't either. I'm not that interested in SC2. But would it put a smile on your face if he won a GSL or three? It would for me. | ||

To be honest, even though there's a (very very) small part of me wanting to see Hiya ripping everything apart in SC2 (if hes able), for the most part, any love i had for him (i liked the Magikarp, mind) will completely disappear if he switches. | ||

A lot of them will switch to SC2 and probably bring in a new generation of champions. As for Hiya - he's too good to just let slide.

![]() You were my favorite player. My best Starcraft memory is you storming out of the booth with your shirt off after you beat ![]() That was incredibly manly and awesome. It must have given a boost of confidence to the rest of the team. Damn, Lecaf Oz was such an amazing team by then. Goodd luck for your next career, but please, remain involved in ESPORTS. | ||

I don't really get what you guys meant, but HiyA wasn't in any starleague, and was probably the second highest paid player in Oz. I wouldn't think any team would want a player with such a high required salary AND having borderline 50% win ratio. Khan has decent terrans inside, and I suppose they are cheap in terms of salaries too. I don't really see the need to get HiyA even if I was a manager of Khan, unless he accepts a salary drop which is unlikely as far as ego goes. | ||

Honestly, I think Zerg[kal] just got tired of waiting. I read some of the messages on his cyworld and it seems he may have decided on military service in Oct, before the draft. Not sure. As a trainee he was moved around to different teams like CJ and KT, then finally drafted by SKT only to be released last year before MBC finally took him in. Very tough. | ||

Khan has decent terrans inside, and I suppose they are cheap in terms of salaries too. I don't really see the need to get HiyA even if I was a manager of Khan, unless he accepts a salary drop which is unlikely as far as ego goes. HiyA was the second highest because Oz has like no other players. Here's the list from last year, some players (Leta, notably) got pay raises for 10-11. As for a borderline 50% win player, well... In 2008-2009 he was 33-27, 55%. In 2009-2010 he was 37-26, 58%. In 2010-2011 he was 27-29, 48%. However he started round 1 and 2 in a massive slump, going 2-12. If you look at his final 4 rounds, he was 25-17, or 59%. (Stats was at 59% this year [the entire thing, unlike HiyA] and doubled his salary to around 30% more than what HiyA's salary would be.) I'd say calling him a sub-50% player is a bit disingenuous. Sometimes players just slump, doesn't always reflect on their overall skill level (ie: JangBi.) I don't think HiyA's salary is unreasonable. | ||

Sometimes players just slump, doesn't always reflect on their overall skill level (ie: JangBi.) I don't think HiyA's salary is unreasonable. Stats thoroughly deserve his pay raise because he really helped KT to the Proleague championship, and he's pretty much the number 2 KT progamer. Could the fact that Leta is currently the captain of CJ contribute to his pay raise, since I don't think he played well during the 10-11 PL season? Things could be different if HiyA qualifies for OSL His salary isn't unreasonable, but it's high enough to put off the other teams from signing him up. At least we would have to wait for a sponsor for the KeSPA team to see how it goes from there. | ||
