I see this as a positive sign since it shows that they are trying to keep bw while adding sc2. Much better than if the rumor was that sc2 will replace bw entirely. Of course combining them into some weird Frankenstein tournament seems like a bad idea.
Either way the real threat is that bw and sc2 could eventually be replaced or sidelined by LoL. Which would be a much greater tragedy than a sc2/bw mash-up tournament. Greatest tragedy for me would be watching an awesome game of Broodwar and than suddenly on set 2 this weird 3d games that looks like starcraft pops up on screen and it isn't even as interesting as broodwar it self . Crowds will go ??? wtf is this .Koreans have been watching pro BW for a very long time and than you force feed them with sc2 . Some fan's may like it, some may not and if kespa gamble fail they may lose the whole fan base thanks to them adding sc2 in to the proleague system. If you ask me I rather have some other game take the throne of broodwar rather than sc2 .LoL or Dota2 is a much better successor in my opinion. But why? Dota style games have literally nothing to do with starcraft, they require a whole different kind of skillsets. How on earth can they be considered a better successor than sc2? It still is the same kind of game atleast, despite all of other differencies.(fast paced rts, build base, gather resources, build army, ??? win). What you are saying basically is "Street fighter 4 is a worthy successor of counterstrike". It does not make any sense. Get with the times. RTS is dead and mobile gaming is the future.

As wierd as this sounds, and even though I enjoy both games, I'd prefer to keep them sepereted, if that is what it takes to stop fucking league of legends, they can do whatever the heck they want.
|
Am I right to presume that the reaction to this hasn't been positive in Korea either? And when nobody seems to like the idea very much, I think Kespa and OGN will take the hint and do something else. Like, start a SC2 program but with separate matches from BW.

mixing games is a horrible idea. But I guess I should reserve judgement till I actually watch.
|
This is a very horrible idea, but this could potentially bring a KT 4-peat(assuming they'll win S1) because we'll just win all BW games and field our sc2 Bonjwa VIOLET for the sc2 ace matches!
But serously, please don't.

This makes no sense
SC2 has zero traction in Korea anyways. It's long past its expiry date. Nobody cares about a game released nearly 2 years ago.
Mixing SC2 with BW won't get me to start watching SC2, I'll just stop watching BW. Period.

You're using this argument as a BW fan?

I think this could actually be kind of cool. We may get to see a little more longevity in broodwar as a result, and I think the quality of SC2 matches would increase if you have the existing broodwar titans contributing to strategy and practice. Sucks for the people that don't like sc2, though.

Uh, huh. Except Brood War just so happens to already be the rave.
Use your head.

Except sc2 does have a huge fanbase outside of Korea.They're trying to garner more attention inside Korea as well as getting the foreign fans to watch like GOM has.
With that being said, they shouldn't be together in any way. Same teams for both games would be nice, but neither team should influence one another. Having sc2 being mixed with BW doesn't make sense imo, I enjoy watching sc2 but mixing them is an AWFUL idea. I'm hoping it's just a separate team league for SC2, but I guess we'll see.

What the heck? Why not just start a SC2 league right away, because that's what it's gonna end up like anyway (sooner or later) if they implement these changes.
As much as I would like to see what the current BW pros could do with SC2, I don't want BW to die, and I like BW much more than SC2. Merging the two games into one league... I'm speechless. I can't see anything good come out of this. If BW is dying, then this is the nail in the coffin. If they want BW to live, for the love of god don't involve SC2 in Proleague! But I guess if these changes have been suggested, then it's already decided. Might as well just end the suffering for us BW fans right away instead of prolonging it.

SC2 has a zealous, not huge, foreign fanbase. Don't buy the claims, SC2 is very niche.

Just another attempt to force sc2 on people. A good game doesn't need this kind of contrived BS to get people to watch it. Maybe Blizzard should spend more time developing and less time scheming.
|
As of right now sc2 is a very dull game with very little difference of play between the players. Combining a good game(sc1) with a bad game(sc2) is an awful idea.

Who says it's Blizzard's fault? If KeSPA/OGN thought SC2 was a bad game, then they wouldn't be this eager to mix it into Proleague assuming these rumors are correct. They could very easily say no to SC2 and it would be the end of that as they continue with just BW, but obviously they didn't for whatever reason.

This might just be the worst idea I have ever seen in my life. Who the fuck came up with this idea? Whoever it is needs to be fired cause it is soo soo dumb.

Meh, it seems to be more high-profile but not necessarily huge fanbase. Someone earlier said it best: zealous but not large.

Well this would definitely fix the problem of there being too much pro BW to watch nowadays.
