 . So i will keep playing SC2.Imo BW PvZ/P and ZvZ is way better, in SC2 for me TvT and TvZ are really good matchups to watch imo. PvZ in SC2 is just terrible to watch . I can understand BW fans being mad at SC2 fans(I remember me being the same with CS 1.6 vs CSS lol), but try to look at things from their perspective.. | ||

Unfortunately all the latest info on this whole ordeal is now hidden in the 100 pages of "my game is better than your game" shit. I'll quote my post from earlier as I also think the OP should be updated since we're being restricted to this thread for the latest sources.

For instance, the Team 8 coach's interview here, (Summarized by rotinegg here) The Fomos and DES/MBCplus mirror, (Summarized by white_horse here and here) and the newest article the now closed thread was based on here. | ||

As curious as I am, this sounds like a terrible idea - not that the alternating sets thing won't already make for lower quality BW and SC2 sets. | ||

U know, for sponsor viewers equals ROI. It's way more attractive for sponsors because of the foreign viewers, so foreign sponsorship is a possibility and also Korean companys that also do business outside of Korea. | ||

I am really disappointed at how Kespa is handling the thing. You know, they should just let the teams absorbs the pre-existing SC2 teams in Korea, keep the two games separated, allow Gom TV to broadcast Brood War so we can hear Tastosis once again doing their thing from the golden days. SC2 fans get to be happy because their games are being exposed to the masses in Korea, BW fans are happy because we got ourselves the Archon back! Everybody fucking wins! | ||
