I don't think it is a bad idea. I love both games, so it'd be awesome to see both of them being played in one place.

However, I can understand the diehard BW fans being upset, considering Proleague is one of two BW tournaments left.

There is a shit load of angry BW fanboys on here D:

Now, coming from a relatively unbiased point of view, I think this is going to really bring the community together :D

I closely follow both BW and SC2 because both of them have their inherent flaws and their awesome traits.

BW Pros : Ridiculous APM requirements, old school heroes like Bisu and JD, difficult interface, so you know those boys are just clickin and clackin away on those keyboards >: D these two things just make it sooo fucking interesting to watch because you know that pure talent is behind those screens.

BW cons = Eyesore, not saying BW is just unwatchable, but by modern standards, ya -___- Lack of new faces, we all know Flash, JD, Bisu, and the likes are always going to be at the forefront, no room for growth, guys..I love BW because of the incredible talent that is in it, but lets be honest with ourselves as fans, this move is a desperation move, because money and time are running out for our beloved game.

SC2 pros = Gorgeous to watch, all commentary is in English (for the most part), large foreign community with talent and potential, game is still young, strategies and metagame are expanding all the time, the game is already becoming much less deathball dependent, I saw a game with Puma the other day where he was executing double pronged drops and micro'ing them well along with his marine tank push, I was thoroughly impressed, the apm on that is sick, it seems like the true talent and practice is finally showing through,

Sc2 cons = Lack of ridiculously amazing players, the players are getting better....they are, but we dont have any true "Holy shit he is unstoppable" players as of right now, makes it hard to really get behind someone in my opinion. Deathballs, wihle the game is improving and stepping away from these, there is still the dreaded and boring deathballs ...,Mostly in matchups with Protoss is what I observe.

So pretty much, why wouldnt you guys want this? Why must you be "BW fans" or "SC2 fans"? Why not just be "Starcraft fans"? I think this is cool, it might breathe some new life into the BW scene and its starting a more rapid integration in the Korean scene (I'm sure they are hesitant about the change).

SO as STARCRAFT fans lets look at this through some optimism yes?

Starcraft for life <3


All your posts have been trolling BW threads, why have you not been banned yet?


I am not even close to trolling with my current post, so that is a pretty irrelevant point.

I used to troll simply because it seems that alot of Broodwar fanboys are so ridiculously biased that they would make any QQ regular on the Starcraft 2 forums pale in comparison.


But after having a few in depth conversations with some intelligent Broodwar fans it really just seems to follow the mantra of a few bad apples ruin it for the whole bunch.

In any case, stop trolling me, if you dont have anything productive to say then gtfo please.


Ladies and gentlemen, please don't take this troll too seriously.

Have a great day.


I agree folks, dont take the guy thats attempting to be unbiased about things opinion over the people that just say, "trolololollol lmfao" because, well that would just be foolish.

Obviously the intelligence factor speaks for itself concerning that one.

Thanks man, I am actually having a nice day :D


Unbiased over opinion you say?...that's funny

You say BW is an eyesore but sc2 is not...well guess what? That's a fucking opinion. Personally I think sc2 is a huge eye sore with its god awful units and mechanics. Doesn't make it a fact though. But it also means your statements arent facts, but in fact opinions.
Terrible post


I just gave what I personally thought were the pros and the cons of each game. That is the complete opposite of bias. If I was biased I would have listed nothing but pros for SC2 and nothing but cons for BW O____O

Jesus Christ you BW fanboys are sensitive.


Personal opinion = unbias?

Jesus Christ you SC2 fanboys are stupid.


Interesting, lets just break out the dictionary on this one alright Aristotle?

bi·as/ˈbīəs/
Noun:
Prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.

o·pin·ion/əˈpinyən/
Noun:
A view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

Not saying my views were based off of strict fact, really were just my opinion.

How was anything I posted unfair or excessively favoring another? D:

"level"

"progaming"

i really don't think so...if anything the levels are way significantly worse.

That's irrelevant if there literally wasn't any level of progaming outside of Korea at all before SC2. And programing implies to make a living playing a game competitively (regardless of skill), so I don't know what the quotation marks are for other than to be condescendant.


I used quotes because it's not really progaming and the level of players at the moment is not impressive whatsoever. Feels so artificial.

It really is progaming, there are paychecks and stuff. Maybe it feels artificial because you choose to hate the game but again, that's irrelevant to the legitimacy of its professional scene. Things are what they are.


You do know barely any foreign team pays their player salarys right?
Otherwise I would not call it progaming because they are not earning any income to support themselves

That's why I said "is bringing a new level of progaming" as in "is starting to bring", instead of "brought":


What makes you think foreigners will start to earn salarys? At this pace, foreigners will disappear slowly as BW players switch to SC2

There is a competitive structure in the west that didn't exist in BW. I think that may have the ability to fuel a sustainable progaming scene, because that structure is starting to be able to monetize themselves in a way that may allow for a better chance of turning profits for the players, and in turn making the teams sustainable.


What in the blue hell are you chirpping about? We had our own competitive structure bucko. Not comparative to the Korean's system, but that doesn't change the fact that players could still go over there and try to go through Courage. Only a few guys made it out and the rest of the licenses were handouts.

There was a competitive structure. Don't shit on everything that we've done please, thanks.

Yeah, there was a structure; but to call that structure (play WCG and a few other tournaments a few times a year, have a 1/10000 chance that a Korean pro-team might allow you to play for them) something comparable to the modern SC2 scene is something very close to a lie. In any event, he didn't say that there wasn't a structure, he just said that there now exists a structure that didn't exist before. That much is simply undeniable. Seriously, there are now serious progaming teams with team houses and large salaries for their players in the West. You just didn't have that in BW.

Again, liking BW doesn't necessarily involve pissing on what SC2 has accomplished, any more than liking SC2 necessarily involves pissing on what BW accomplished. Let's at least be honest here.


Um, we didn't just have a few tournaments. Our emphasis was more on laddering, NW and CW. If you were on a half decent team there was shit going on practically every other day. The only thing is very few people actually got paid and that money was coming from anywhere.

It's sufficient because back then a lot of us were still going to school. It was a hobby more than anything else. We have team houses now hooooray. I'm not denying that shit, but the benefits are slim to none other than having a roof over your head and food. Which is fine. I'm well aware of what's happening man. I follow both so I don't need to be lectured.

This rumor has been going on for quite some time and I cannot believe they would actually implement anything like this.

The problem is that if this is true Proleague isn't an umbrella league for the usual BW league and a new SC2 league, it'd literally be one league where players play both games, which is retarded. It has as much validity as if the games were BW and Mario Kart.

This is really strange. I would love to see both BW and SC2 but alternating sets? Um, what?

Perhaps they want to introduce hardcore BW lovers to the game of SC2 by force, making them care about the outcome of the games for the team they cheer for?

I mean if you had BW timeblock and SC2 timeblock its possible people wouldn't watch the SC2 timeblock after all (or vice versa).

Its just ... weird

I don't like the idea of mixing the two games in something like Proleague. Maybe for showmatches where the same players play both or something, but this doesn't make much sense to me. Really sad for BW, probably not helpful for SC2.

Please say RTS if you are talking about RTS progaming only, because there was and still is a western Esports.

Oh forgot about WC3, so i guess you mean Starcraft progaming?

Yeah I meant Starcraft, both BW and SC2.

You know what, and thats why SC2 is bad. You dont design the game to cure the situation of esports, you make the game to build the community, after you build the community the esports happens itself, thats how CS Esports happened and its the most succesfull western esport. Its still played to this day and its even older than Korean starcraft-brand esports



Not to derail but that's not really true, the first televised BW tournament predates the release of CS.

Might as well throw in a few sets of BGH and Warcraft 3.

Mixing SC2 and BW is about as safe as mixing chlorine and bleach.

Stop being defensive, I'm not shitting on anything. It's clear that the BW foreign scene and the SC2 foreign scene have very different structures. Granted, the Korean scene (the most competitive in both games) is much more solid in BW than it is in SC2, but on the west it's kinda backwards.


Defensive? Bullshit.

If you walk into my neck of the woods you better be fucking prepared.

We can agree on that one principle.

Weird, yet interesting way of promoting SC2 in Korea.
It is well known BW is more popular and has more respect. Simply turning it off and turning on SC2 will not happen for majority of viewers.
I think this is an interesting idea, that will make some BW and SC2 viewers unhappy, however if it can bring over BW viewers over to SC2, it should be a win for the future of esports.

Yep. Could be sweet. Both games are awesome (never understood why we can't just all love Starcraft, no matter which game it is), and it would create some interesting dynamics during a match. You need to have a solid squad of both SC2 and BW players to be a top team. Teams won't be able to rely on a single player, a single race, or even a single game.

Most importantly, I would get to watch both BW and SC2 at once ^^

I still believe having separate BW/SC2 league would fit your purpose well. I understand what you are saying, but the analogy of football (soccer) and football (not soccer) works well. You might be fan of both games but to combine them both would be terrible idea.

Weird, yet interesting way of promoting SC2 in Korea.
It is well known BW is more popular and has more respect. Simply turning it off and turning on SC2 will not happen for majority of viewers.
I think this is an interesting idea, that will make some BW and SC2 viewers unhappy, however if it can bring over BW viewers over to SC2, it should be a win for the future of esports.

Look, I have no problems with BW and SC2 coexisting, but to have them play both games on the same team vs team set?

That's fucking lame and a completely different story. I do not support that.
1:1 go sc2 LAN? Oh wait...

I used quotes because it's not really progaming and the level of players at the moment is not impressive whatsoever. Feels so artificial.

It really is progaming, there are paychecks and stuff. Maybe it feels artificial because you choose to hate the game but again, that's irrelevant to the legitimacy of its professional scene. Things are what they are.


You do know barely any foreign team pays their player salarys right?
Otherwise I would not call it progaming because they are not earning any income to support themselves

That's why I said "is bringing a new level of progaming" as in "is starting to bring", instead of "brought":


What makes you think foreigners will start to earn salarys? At this pace, foreigners will disappear slowly as BW players switch to SC2

There is a competitive structure in the west that didn't exist in BW. I think that may have the ability to fuel a sustainable progaming scene, because that structure is starting to be able to monetize themselves in a way that may allow for a better chance of turning profits for the players, and in turn making the teams sustainable.


What in the blue hell are you chirping about? We had our own competitive structure bucko. Not comparative to the Korean's system, but that doesn't change the fact that players could still go over there and try to go through Courage. Only a few guys made it out and the rest of the licenses were handouts.

There was a competitive structure. Don't shit on everything that we've done please, thanks.

Stop being defensive, I'm not shitting on anything. It's clear that the BW foreign scene and the SC2 foreign scene have very different structures. Granted, the Korean scene (the most competitive in both games) is much more solid in BW than it is in SC2, but on the west it's kinda backwards.


Defensive? Bullshit.

If you walk into my neck of the woods you better be fucking prepared.

I hope you're being sarcastic...


I like to look at the facts.

There is a shit load of angry BW fanboys on here D:

Now, coming from a relatively unbiased point of view, I think this is going to really bring the community together :D

I closely follow both BW and SC2 because both of them have their inherent flaws and their awesome traits.

BW Pros : Ridiculous APM requirements, old school heroes like Bisu and JD, difficult interface, so you know those boys are just clickin and clackin away on those keyboards >: D these two things just make it sooo fucking interesting to watch because you know that pure talent is behind those screens.

BW cons = Eyesore, not saying BW is just unwatchable, but by modern standards, ya -___- Lack of new faces, we all know Flash, JD, Bisu, and the likes are always going to be at the forefront, no room for growth, guys..I love BW because of the incredible talent that is in it, but lets be honest with ourselves as fans, this move is a desperation move, because money and time are running out for our beloved game.

SC2 pros = Gorgeous to watch, all commentary is in English (for the most part), large foreign community with talent and potential, game is still young, strategies and metagame are expanding all the time, the game is already becoming much less deathball dependent, I saw a game with Puma the other day where he was executing double pronged drops and micro'ing them well along with his marine tank push, I was thoroughly impressed, the apm on that is sick, it seems like the true talent and practice is finally showing through,

Sc2 cons = Lack of ridiculously amazing players, the players are getting better....they are, but we dont have any true "Holy shit he is unstoppable" players as of right now, makes it hard to really get behind someone in my opinion. Deathballs, wihle the game is improving and stepping away from these, there is still the dreaded and boring deathballs ...,Mostly in matchups with Protoss is what I observe.

So pretty much, why wouldnt you guys want this? Why must you be "BW fans" or "SC2 fans"? Why not just be "Starcraft fans"? I think this is cool, it might breathe some new life into the BW scene and its starting a more rapid integration in the Korean scene (I'm sure they are hesitant about the change).

SO as STARCRAFT fans lets look at this through some optimism yes?

Starcraft for life <3


All your posts have been trolling BW threads, why have you not been banned yet?


I am not even close to trolling with my current post, so that is a pretty irrelevant point.

I used to troll simply because it seems that alot of Broodwar fanboys are so ridiculously biased that they would make any QQ regular on the Starcraft 2 forums pale in comparison.


But after having a few in depth conversations with some intelligent Broodwar fans it really just seems to follow the mantra of a few bad apples ruin it for the whole bunch.

In any case, stop trolling me, if you dont have anything productive to say then gtfo please.


Ladies and gentlemen, please don't take this troll too seriously.

Have a great day.


I agree folks, dont take the guy thats attempting to be unbiased about things opinion over the people that just say, "trolololollol lmfao" because, well that would just be foolish.

Obviously the intelligence factor speaks for itself concerning that one.

Thanks man, I am actually having a nice day :D


Unbiased over opinion you say?...that's funny

You say BW is an eyesore but sc2 is not...well guess what? That's a fucking opinion. Personally I think sc2 is a huge eye sore with its god awful units and mechanics. Doesn't make it a fact though. But it also means your statements arent facts, but in fact opinions.
Terrible post


I just gave what I personally thought were the pros and the cons of each game. That is the complete opposite of bias. If I was biased I would have listed nothing but pros for SC2 and nothing but cons for BW O____O

Jesus Christ you BW fanboys are sensitive.


Personal opinion = unbias?

Jesus Christ you SC2 fanboys are stupid.


Interesting, lets just break out the dictionary on this one alright Aristotle?

bi·as/ˈbīəs/
Noun:
Prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.

o·pin·ion/əˈpinyən/
Noun:
A view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

Not saying my views were based off of strict fact, really were just my opinion.

How was anything I posted unfair or excessively favoring another? D:

My personal thought on SC2 was that it was a piece of shit. I'm not being biased or something, just posting my personal thought.

"Bias is an inclination to present or hold a partial perspective at the expense of (possibly equally valid) alternatives. Bias can come in many forms."
