Anytime/Lomo/Hiya/Pure are pretty bad losses.

I've enjoyed games from all of them in the past T_T Really hops Sashin stays with it, if I could keep any of them it'd be the Death God.

Hyun has always been my favourite zerg to watch on normal proleague sure he is no jaedong but I love his persistent in going 3 hatch crazy zerg , Baby bear just because he is the MIDAS , and Ruby for his T v Z . They can't let players like these go down the drain and Shine too deserves a team to reside in .

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 .

I don't care if players switch to SC2 or what, I just want them to continue playing SC and not retire t.t. Don't do it anytime! >.<

Also, lol @ Lomo being a cop

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.

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.

Good luck to all of them. I hope the 8th team picks up a few more players after they get their sponsor. They still have place on their team for 5-6 more players.

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.

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.

Maybe pro gaming isn't really a viable job after all it depends on company willing to sponsor you and the next day they can just change their mind and you will be jobless on the street . Think about it , general perception of a pro gamer has been tainted and we are probably labelled as bums who refused to be productive to society. 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 . Opting to go pro will at least be beneficial for you in the long run .

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.

5-6 more A or B teamers. MBC, Fox and Oz each had 14-17 players on their teams so its around that size.

While i dont love seeing BW players switch to SC2, HiYa is a hilarious personality who would do all sorts of crazy shit in the less-regulated SC2 community which would be especially amusing to American fans. He and Hyun are both players I would love to see in international competitions due to this trait.

Hiya isn't being picked up because his expected salary is too high, according to what I've read. From what I picked up on his stream, he's not looking to switch over right now, but rather thinks that the Korean e-sports scene will eventually transition into SC2, so he says he's just trying to stay a step ahead of his peers. It didn't sound like he was anywhere close to actually making the decision, though.

Tbh, the B-teamers is the biggest loss here. If BW cannot keep getting new B teamers, it will bleed out soon enough. Seeing 3 entire teams of B-teamers just vanish is really unsettling for anyone thinking of going pro. As rough as being a pro gamer is, this has to scare any newcomer more than anything else.

yeah you say that now,but the moment Khan picks him up you'd be like "OMG HIYA I LOVE YOU"

how many times have you changed your team tag by the way?

seriously your attitude towards player's life decisions is the worst.

you fucking serious,dead to you?

the fact that its hard for him and that no team is picking him up bears no weight on your judgement?


yeah im fucking serious bratan


So the fact that Hiya is doing the most financially secure option to him has no bearing to you?

Stay classy


i liked him because he played brood war, a game i loved to watch. if he doesnt play it anymore, i dont care about him. get it?

hate the game not the player.


i never said i hated him, i just said hes dead to me. i dont care about him anymore

yeah you say that now,but the moment Khan picks him up you'd be like "OMG HIYA I LOVE YOU"

how many times have you changed your team tag by the way?


of course i say that now, because hes looking to switch. if he stuck with brood war, i wouldnt give him any flak. i didnt think it was that hard to understand bratan

ive changed it many times, maybe 5 or 6

whatever. i really couldnt care less about your opinion

While I certainly have sympathy for the BW fans, as the game is most definitely in its final days, I dont really see the point in saying rash things like "ZOMG He's switching games now, no longer a fan, dead to me forever".

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.

yeah lmao, im certainly not an actual brood war fan, because i only care about them playing, you know, brood war. if they find brood war financially unviable then thats their choice, but dont expect me to follow them around and pat them on the back when they arent doing the only thing i liked them for in the first place

im sorry i dont have the dumb mentality of following jaedong wherever he goes. i certainly wouldnt be watching him if he decided to take up counter strike or quake, the game doesnt interest me

I knew it,no respect for players,no respect for teams.

I'm sure you'd be satisfied in just watching 2 perfect(perfect in everything) AI bots playing BW against each other over and over.

well whatever,its not worth arguing strong opinions.

i dont care about who the players are so long as i get to see some good brood war. if thats a lack of respect then fine, i dont care. and yes, i would like to see constant high level play, and if bots are the best fit for that then sure

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 .

then try thinking a bit harder. im not hiya's wife, if he didnt play brood war i wouldnt even care that he existed. im not suddenly interested in his personality or life because i like watching his brood war, the same way i didnt really give a fuck about joe pass's lifestyle so long as he kept pumping out good jazz

being emotionally involved in a player's growth is extremely rewarding,because you feel 10 time better when they win, of course you are also going to feel 10 times worse when they lose but hey thats the life of a sports is right?

well I really cannot expect everyone to feel the same way towards the game as I do,but when you are so involved with their growth you tend to understand why they make such life decisions and you can learn to deal with it.

Who is that boxer guy? I dunno, i also faintly remember a guy named nada. Not important to remember tho. I think i saw SC2 by their names once. Well what about July?..... what about July? its an okay month i suppose... if your American there is July 4th which is pretty entertaining sometimes.

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.

i dont care if they lose so long as they play good broodwar. if they play terrible and still win, id be less happy

i never said i didnt understand his decision. i know why he is doing it, i just have no reason to care for him anymore

no you're just talking shit. im a bw elitist that follows bw because its top tier, simply becaues i was never a fan of the person themselves? get this through your head, I LIKE THEIR PLAY. I DONT CARE ABOUT THEM AS AN INDIVIDUAL. i like brood war and i dont like sc2, does that make me an elitist? if so, fine, ill wear that

it boggles my mind that some people still cant understand what im saying

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.

Legatus has a valid opinion and I don't think it's right to bash him over that ... sure he might have expressed it a little bit harshly but it's not that hard to understand ... except for Boxer and Nada, i don't even know or care how the ex-BW players are doing in SC2 nowadays, simply because I'm not their fans ... 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 don't want Hiya to go to SC2 since he's still pretty fucking good.

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.

I wanted to see Anytime come back last year to be Oz' veteran, and maybe coach Perfectman, but Oz is no more.
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.

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.

Well, I'm sure almost everyone except for you attaches someone's great play to the actual individual. 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.

Hiya, don't go just yet. T_T
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.

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.

(P)Anytime - playing coach at kespa or woongjin
(P)LuCifer - team kespa
(Z)Saint - playing coach at kespa
(T)HiyA - woongjin needs a new terran now that really is gone
(Z)HyuN - STX, KHAN, or team kespa
(T)RuBy - STX: Bogus is great but needs better back-up, and a player with a lot of experience would greatly benefit the team.
(T)Midas - team kespa, STX, or woongjin could use an experienced player like midas.
(Z)Shine - STX, KHAN, or team kespa

SKT were interested in Ruby but they didn't want to pay him his current salary rate so they ended up drafting 2 zergs (whom they don't really need) instead.

Kudos to JohnnyPG for being a level headed fan.


what is so irrational about liking a player only because they play the game you like to watch? i dont care about substitute games, their personality or their purpose in life. is it really THAT hard to understand that someone likes them as a proxy for watching great brood war?


yes.


then try thinking a bit harder. im not hiya's wife, if he didnt play brood war i wouldnt even care that he existed. im not suddenly interested in his personality or life because i like watching his brood war, the same way i didnt really give a fuck about joe pass's lifestyle so long as he kept pumping out good jazz



Who is that boxer guy? I dunno, i also faintly remember a guy named nada. Not important to remember tho. I think i saw SC2 by their names once. Well what about July?..... what about July? its an okay month i suppose... if your American there is July 4th which is pretty entertaining sometimes.

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.


no you're just talking shit. im a bw elitist that follows bw because its top tier, simply becaues i was never a fan of the person themselves? get this through your head, I LIKE THEIR PLAY. I DONT CARE ABOUT THEM AS AN INDIVIDUAL. i like brood war and i dont like sc2, does that make me an elitist? if so, fine, ill wear that

it boggles my mind that some people still cant understand what im saying

You need to get your head out of your ass.

Ok, since that is all over, I simply have to ask this question, and I am NOT trolling or attempting to start a flame war by doing this....

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.

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.

you are going off on a huuuge tangent talking abut BW and SC2 in general,which has nothing to do with this thread and very little to do with HiyA's situation.

I know it has nothing to do with hiyas situation, the question was long, but I just figured the answers would be short and simple, I am not attempting to steal the thread spotlight, once that question is answered from me I will most likely take my leave shortly afterwords.

Obviously you wouldn't understand why people would watch BW if you've never even understood the game. 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.

The Hiya thing...it's like when MJ switched over to Baseball, or Golf. I mean, you watched, but it just wasn't the same. The game was different, the man was the same,but it was that one man, in that one game that made you fall in love (no homo) in tandem. When one part of the equation is gone you can still care about what that person meant and wish them well, but it will never be the same and eventually they'll fade from prominence in your life and effectively be (as Leg so bluntly put it) be dead to you. I mean, how often to people talk about MJ's Baseball career? They remember him as the Basketball legend, because that's where he made the magic happen for those fans. It's not that they aren't fans of MJ just because he switched and they didn't like it, they're not fans because the magic was gone.

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 ^_^

the fact that you know that is enough to say you're a bigger fan than me.

Most BW fans don't hate SC2, they just don't care. As for most of your points, especially the highlighted bits, they're simply not true. If you can't see why they aren't true, then you probably don't understand the game or the scene well enough.

That didnt really answer my question at all, people will always love the classics, I will always like BW, but what your saying in comparison to my question is something akin to..

"People still still like CS even though its old, and they also despise MW2 or COD or (insert any modern competitive RTS lmfao)"

I just asked why the hatred from BW fans to SC2.

Legatus has a valid opinion and I don't think it's right to bash him over that ... sure he might have expressed it a little bit harshly but it's not that hard to understand ... except for Boxer and Nada, i don't even know or care how the ex-BW players are doing in SC2 nowadays, simply because I'm not their fans ... 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.

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.


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.

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 find it amusing that neither SKT nor Khan would pick up Shine, even though they both wanted zergs.

If you don't find a team, then farewell Shine, slayer of Taekbang. I'm not all too sorry to see you go ^^

This is the biggest reason for the us vs them mentality a lot of us here on the BW forum have.

It's hard to believe, but not that long ago TL was 95% about BW with a tiny SC2 section where people talked about when the beta might come out. Now it's 95% SC2 with a tiny BW section where people bash SC2 out of spite, engage in flamewars with SC2 people who think it's a good idea to come in and tell us that it's about time our favorite players all switched to SC2, and a tiny tiny bit of discussion about the game and upcoming proleague season

On topic: I hope someone picks up all the guys who want to continue. I'd LOVE to have Hiya on Khan, but I doubt Samsung will pay him.

It's hard to have a discussion when not much info about the new season was released by Kespa up till last Friday. 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.

Legatus has a valid point, it was just worded harshly. When MJ switched to baseball, I didn't really follow up on him. However, if he was doing well, I would certainly feel happy for him because I like the guy. Saying someone is dead to you is a pretty extreme thing to say. If Hiya won like 6 GSLs in a row after switching to SC2, would you not feel ANYTHING for him? Not even a 'good on him'? If so, then I guess you are right in using that phrase.

Anywho, I wish Anytime all the luck in the world in finding a new home or another path in life.

I agree with Legatus 100%. Despite his phrasing and presentation of his thoughts, I totally agree with the idea of it. 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.

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

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.

why is it that people have this special need to celebrate a player's switch to SC2, and then bash on the game in the fucking BW forum? you'd think people would be more tactful.

"everyone is entitled to their own opinions" is not an good excuse for being a jackass.

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 wonder how Sang, Speed, and Ryul2 got selected to get put on the 8th team, while players like Hiya, Hyun, Shine, Ruby, and Midas got left in the dust. 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 want to know too, my first thought was money but everyone except Jaedong got a pay raise so thats obviously not the case because then instead of giving a raise they could have gotten a few more players.

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

The only game I remember of Hiya playing is the one which he made FBH cry. He really isn't very memorable - despite being one of the most talented out of the leftovers list.

They wanted to select 3 rookies after the 6 protected players they already had. 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 (P)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.

I wonder how Sang, Speed, and Ryul2 got selected to get put on the 8th team, while players like Hiya, Hyun, Shine, Ruby, and Midas got left in the dust. 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.

I want to know too, my first thought was money but everyone except Jaedong got a pay raise so thats obviously not the case because then instead of giving a raise they could have gotten a few more players.

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

They wanted to select 3 rookies after the 6 protected players they already had. 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 (P)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.

LOOL Wordplay.

It's strange that nobody's signed Hiya yet. Woongjin should be salivating at the chance to replace Really with someone who is arguably better in all respects. STX could use a Terran to back up Bogus, and Khan's lineup of Turn, Reality and Sharp is pretty much inferior to Hiya all around. Honestly, even SKT could put him to good use; the only other Terran backing up Fantasy is Ssak.

Ok, since that is all over, I simply have to ask this question, and I am NOT trolling or attempting to start a flame war by doing this....

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.


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.



i'm mainly into sc2 but once I was introduced to BW from sc2 I've been following BW as much as sc2 and I can tell you that you're just flat out wrong..BW really is an amazing game and the graphics aren't /that/ bad if you just know what you're looking at...but seriously, you're acting like an idiot telling people what or what isn't good/bad. 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.

No but really. 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

yes.


then try thinking a bit harder. im not hiya's wife, if he didnt play brood war i wouldnt even care that he existed. im not suddenly interested in his personality or life because i like watching his brood war, the same way i didnt really give a fuck about joe pass's lifestyle so long as he kept pumping out good jazz



Who is that boxer guy? I dunno, i also faintly remember a guy named nada. Not important to remember tho. I think i saw SC2 by their names once. Well what about July?..... what about July? its an okay month i suppose... if your American there is July 4th which is pretty entertaining sometimes.

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.


no you're just talking shit. im a bw elitist that follows bw because its top tier, simply becaues i was never a fan of the person themselves? get this through your head, I LIKE THEIR PLAY.

Nada, July and Boxer have accomplished much more by switching to SC2 than they would have had they stayed in BW. Then again so has virtually every single BW progamer who switched.

The thing that confuses me about Legatus' opinion is that so much of what makes Hiya likeable and memorable as a player is NOT about his play. A lot of what makes Hiya an enjoyable player to watch is the personality and style he brings to the booth (e.g. the "trap card" meme), and that kind of stuff makes him memorable regardless of what game he's playing. Like, even if I'm not a big fan of SC2, if he did something like that in a GSL final, I'd still probably get a laugh out of it when someone showed me the VOD.

If you only care about the players insofar as their BW play, then what made you a Hiya fan to begin with?

Hiya used to be capable of beating any other player, including Flash and JD, with flashy and/or solid play. Now, he seems to just not care very much and seems more interested in having fun with the game, sort of a FBHv2. I think Hiya should go into ace, see if that refuels his passion and then switch to SC2 if that doesn't work out.

He probably won't be picked up by another team anyway, as sad as that is to say, because of his recent poor results

the fact that its hard for him and that no team is picking him up bears no weight on your judgement?


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.

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.

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.

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.
May the BeSt man win.

Would be great to see Hiya switching to sc2. If no team wants him anyway, he might just as well own in sc2.
Sad to see so many people retiring though

Lomo wont stand a chance against street vendor crackdown cop(which i believe was Nada..? Someone who was fast at taking down expos before they got up and running anways. Cant remember exactly, some terran in GOM when tasteless and lil´susie did the cast)..
Bisu[about JD]=I was scared (laughs). The force emanating from his facial expression was so manly that I was even a little jealous.

It's strange that nobody's signed Hiya yet. Woongjin should be salivating at the chance to replace Really with someone who is arguably better in all respects.


omg that would be the greatest thing ever

i mainly just hope shine finds a team so he can continue to make bisu fanboys mad

the whole bw/sc2 derail was a bit sad. fortunately i've not lost any of my favourite players to it yet, but i follow mvp/supernova solely because they're ex-stars despite in the case of sair not actually seeing any of his games ever (to the best of my knowledge)

Man this thread went really bad, really fast.

Anytime and Midas do need new teams though, someone start a Save the Veterans fund or something. And Lucifer never got back from that game he lost against Jaedong (proxy 2 gate vs 12hatch), sad enough

Anytime, Midas - The heritage

Hiya, Shine, Hyun - The entertainment

Hope they can find a team to sign them. Otherwise, it is a great loss to the scene.

Stars just bought a new SF team, so I don't know if they're going to be willing to put another BW A-teamer on their payroll. But I'm surprised that STX haven't picked up anyone significant. Kal's gone to ACE and he was on a six figure salary so they do have the capacity to sign another good player.

Nah, in all seriousness, he probably just cost too much. Why invest in 1 decent zerg when you can get 2 other ones for the same price!!! SKT #1 financially efficient team.

Damn, I'll be wicked sad if HiyA goes to SC2. He still seems like he can do a lot in BW, still a talented player. Best of luck. Hope all of the guys who are looking to go to different teams get on them (Midas back to CJ pl0x?). And AnyTime retiring?

It was stated in a clearly blunt way but I think his point is valid, I feel myself siding towards his direction with regards to players switching over. I just can't root for anyone who I used to in BW but switched to SC2 because I don't feel any connection as a fan to them and after a while they as a player do not exist for me any more basically.

I don't think anyone has a problem with that. If you only watch Brood War, it doesn't matter if a player retires completely or switches to SC2. But hating an (ex) progamer or saying he is dead to you just because you don't like SC2 is unnecessary.

The only problem was that he said that Hiya was dead to him when he could have conveyed this in a less blunt and more respectful way. Doesn't make his opinion any less valid though.

if Khan picks Hiya like he wants to, he'll still play BW, not SC2. He going to wait 2 months to see what is his position on his BW career.

Hiya was actually doing really well recently in Proleague, in fact he was the probably the second best player on Hwaseung after Jaedong, what a shame. Hyun has always been on my favorite zergs, especially after he famously beat Flash on Matchpoint Sad to see such great players not be picked up by any teams

I think you misunderstand him, that or i understand him in a completely different way.

Saying someone "is dead to" you, as i understand it means that you no longer care about that person. 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.

Can't believe I watched the whole thing. Thx for posting Snausages (:

I'm sad for the B-teamers. Devoting so much time to the game and now having to find something else to do. 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. The SC2-switch talk is just negotiation - he wants a bigger salary. He's pretty much welcome in any team

(P)Anytime :'(
You were my favorite player.

My best Starcraft memory is you storming out of the booth with your shirt off after you beat (P)Stork in PL finals a few years ago.
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.
You are lucky I don't have a banhammer

I don't remember seeing an announcement about any new SKT coaches, although I could be wrong. But there's a good protoss coach without a job at the moment, broadcasting every day on Afreeca. Coach Park should hire him. You know, the guy who turned Jaehoon's career around.

He won the OSL. Jangbi is worth it.

Yes, that's precisely why he's a good example.

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.

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.

Yeah Anytime and Pusan are great coaching material and they should be added in any team that wants to make something of their protoss players . I hope they remain involved in the e-sports scene even at the worst it means switching to SC 2 . If players like Huk and MC can make it big with protoss , they sure as hell can also do it if they have the passion to keep investing the necessary time in to it .

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.

Excellent. Khan's zerg line is still weak but that's still better than non-existant. Now someone just needs to pick up Midas.
