Welp if this is true then as well I might enjoy a couple of BW games mixed with SC2 for another 6 months + OSL and then I'm done with "Esports" ( God I hate this word )

there's a reason SC2 hasn't caught on in Korea and forcing it down the viewer's throats isn't going to help. This is probably not going to work out at all for SC2. Dota2 and LoL are going to be ruling "esports" and I'm not mad at that

I don't know how to feel about this...

Guess BW's last hurrah will be the final OSL tournament. That'll be some tournament.

Not a very good idea. Either move to SC2 or stay in BW, but don't try to find some retarded middle-ground that won't work out for anyone.

SC2-ers alternate saying their game and players are good, and then saying the exact opposite in the form of posts like this one. You really believe all your players are second string? I'll let you stew in that.

BW can´t survive in the long term. It´s 2D. Most BW fans underestimate that hardly any SCII fans wouldn´t watch BW just because it´s 2D. Not pretty enough.


NSMB Wii is the third highest selling game this generation behind those amazingly 3D Wii Sports and Wii Fit. 2D is not why people don't watch BW. It's because it's not accessible enough, you can't watch a BW game and then pick up and play it with any hope of winning games.


If only BW had WC3 type of BNet, with Blizzard putting iCCup's level of effort...


Recent thread basically said the lowest players on iccup would be SC2 Masters or High Diamond. Lol @ trying to get new people to play.


That's an ICCUP masturbatory fantasy. Getting into Diamond or even masters on the NA server doesn't mean you're good, and it's nothing to be proud of. ESPECIALLY not back in release when most BW players made this opinion and you could get into Diamond if you knew to keep making workers. And I bet a lot of BW players who tried to get into SC2 now probably couldn't get into masters. I'd love to see some of them try.

I don't see why they have to eliminate BW

I think that BW isn't doing that well financial, they have a hard time to find sponsors and Blizzard is willing to sponsor a OGN SC2 proleague. OGN wants Blizzard's money, but viewers won't watch SC2 over BW so they have to drop BW.
This is just me speculating ofcourse.


It doesn't have to be BW or SC2. Lots of people like BW for it's finesse while also liking SC2 for it's super-fst metagame.

so......

if they do use Flash in SC2, they'll be showing they want the foreign audience, if they don't they'll just be trying to promote SC2 a little in KR, probably with Blizzard subsidizing.

We'll see.... Flash is their biggest asset currently, what he does means the most in reflecting their ideas.


First off all,no sc2 event has had 200,000 + viewers at a time.
Best was like 80 k or something.


MLG has peak viewership in the 250k range

wrong. Why would we need them to play a game we don't want to watch? If anything, it seems like the SC2 crowd is more desperate for them to switch over because they need that validation and star power in order to survive or to finally kill that elephant for good.


And the BW scene has no one but themselves to blame for THAT mentality, as they're the ones who keep going "LOL Zergbong SC2 Bonjwa!" and giving the SC2 kids a complex.

Hyun was not an A-class player, but he was substantially better at BW than anyone else was at time of switching (top 30 on KeSPA rankings the month he switched). He should, by this elephant in the room argument, be crushing everyone in SC2. He's 0-3 in broadcast games. The elephant argument is and always has been silly.

I gotta say, Ribbon.
You and this bridge attitude may be the worst I see here still.
I respect what you're trying to do, but you just like to react too much.
You're not teaching anyone anything, the game is easily accessible both in news (thanks TL) and video (again, thanks!) Hell, don't forget we either need an add-on or to get special settings just to get it off the main page.
Let it go.



The whole deal has and will always be silly. This "let's please everyone and we're all winners!" mentality never works and it certainly isn't going to when this new segmented PL shows up either.

When will everyone learn that easily 1/2 of us BW players have tried, countless times, to get into this new SC. We wanted to like it, it was SC2s game to lose. We wanted it so bad most of us bought it on good faith.

They are 2 entirely different games. The lack of mobile static defense alone makes an entirely new game.

I don't want to wait for three expansions to have a complete game to watch. I had one.
I don't want to have to share, lol. I didn't before and no sport before mine has.
It's not about BW forever! We get it's dead, we just want to die in peace.

Nothing you say is going to make someone see the light. No one is going to admit defeat (because we're just misunderstood ) and every single person like me, who watched for the game and nothing more. To see S class play...well, we're gone. We're less than 5k easily, but we're gone the day BW is. You can find us on our servers, and we'd love to play a game.

I wanted to love SC2, and i loved it while it was new and shiny. But after playing for a while it was just not the same. =[

Disappointed. This is like a big middle finger to all BW fans. WTF. Just keep proleague separate.

Proleague has turned into a joke if this happens.

thanks for your post glass.

Honestly im really excited for this. All it does is make sc2 look bad and I really dislike sc2. I also don't care about the future of esports since the only esport i've ever liked is BW and apparently BW is dead.
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?

I sort of have to wonder if this was Blizzard's idea. As in the fading BW out thing I been seeing. Are they purposely trying to push on this? or was this OGN and Kespa's idea?

I really do not want to see BW go out like this. I know OSL is having issues with sponsors, and if SC2 is there, that wouldn't be as big of an issue but honestly? I don't mind SC2, but I just do not want to see the two cross. I really don't feel it's right. Both games are too different, and if Korea still isn't on SC2 in general, why force the change? Why is Blizzard pushing so hard on this? Why can't they just let BW be? (If it was indeed Blizzard's idea.)
