It was never in the position to do so to begin with. We're spoken at length about a game's shelf-life before. No reason to travel down that road again. | ||

So what Milkis is saying could be true if the reporter is deliberately trying to lead the reader astray. Either way we'll just see what happens b/c there is no good way to resolve this dispute. | ||

Can you please translate a bit or two that give you that impression ? I wouldn't be suprised if there was some ambiguity left, at least your post on the front page does not say anything particular about bw. | ||

Remember, "grain of salt". you have to have a lot of filler in articles when you don't have much to write on other than a few quotes.

The latter is true, but I have no emotional investment in esports at all anymore, lol. But you can think it's speculation all you want :O | ||

To me that's all this article informs me of. "We're still trying." It's not a guarantee it will happen, no, but SC2 will be another article. cause there's a very high probability the scene will swap over in april?

Then why are you here? Fair point. I have trouble hiding bittenress nowadays... Again, I'll post something tonight that's a bit more thorough and uses as many publicly available sources to back it up | ||

They want to see what's up and if you read some of their responses you might be pleasantly surprised. Yes, we know how game reviewers tend to focus on all the fluff including graphics, so if you want to listen to them by all means go right ahead. Gameplay is what makes or breaks it for me. That's just me and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. Yeah, I was watching MLG for sc2, then it was over on Sunday. So I then tuned to watch BW again since the last OSL (Fantasy vs JangBi) and omg there was such a good, nostalgic feeling. I watch BW when I can... to me, it's never dead. | ||

 Unless I'm misinterpreting what you mean by switch, I think OGN would be shooting itself in the foot doing something like that. I give OGN a little more credit than this. | ||

Yeah, excuse me if I have trouble taking your word on that Unless I'm misinterpreting what you mean by switch, I think OGN would be shooting itself in the foot doing something like that. I give OGN a little more credit than this.They dropped PLENTY of warnings. They literally asked the KR fanbase what they thought of SC2 in PL openly. Most people were open to the idea. The thing about your comments is "oh no one translated it for us, it must not exist" =/ | ||

I think it's interesting times right now after all like you said there is no guarantee that there will be a bw osl . So my mind wonders and the possibilities comes up maybe SF2 osl ? Sc2 osl ? LoL osl ? KoF osl ? . I don't know but if it goes either way than it's good game for me . | ||

On March 03 2012 03:07 phosphorylation wrote: It's called "STARleague." And trying to argue for the possibility of this being a SC2 starleague is just silly; any one with modicum of Korean and esports knowledge would be able to see that they are clearly referring to the one and only BW starleague, not something new. Okay so your justification is based on 1) its name, which they may not be able to change yet because the switch isn't official yet. 2) "anyone who knows what they're talking about knows that this is false" ok. | ||
