EPTWell, those PL finals were so incredible I almost feel at peace about a lot of these coming problems, except for my earlier-stated concerns about the upcoming OSL fairness.
Now we sit and wait.

Also, people need to stop using the phrase "support e-sports and expand SC2" as if it's an argument. Fuck e-sports. We want to watch people play games, and by games, I mean good games that we've loved for a decade. People have different opinions, and I'm all fine with people saying that they can enjoy SC2. But seriously, stop coming in here and saying "but if they switch, SC2 will grow." That's inciting dumb flamebait, you know it, and a lot of people here don't even bother with SC2. I like you. | ||

The issue isn't that fans left (BW's fanbase isn't as big as it was in Savior's day, but it's still plenty big), it's that the scene was 100% dependant on sponsorship money, so once a scandal came along, all the sponsorship money started drying up, and the fans don't actually support the game directly, so gg. Honestly, this was always going to happen, as a result of the sponsorship business model. Even if Savior didn't fix matches, someone would have eventually robbed a liquor store or molested a kid or wrote a tell-all expose about team house conditions that wouldn't even half to be true. BW lived and died on it's image, and it couldn't maintain that image forever with so many young people having the power to do something stupid. Once the fans reacted negatively to the horrible thought of maybe paying for BW, the scene was doomed. It had zero ability to deal with a bad time. | ||

The big wigs for NHL understand this concept: You scared me big time until I saw your video. I can accept people liking SC2 better than BW because of the graphics and the easier game and whatever reasons they bring forth, but please don't say that the game itself is better and that we NEED to transition to SC2. Like some other said... Many of us love BW more than we love eSports... They just happened to be synonymous at a time. But when eSports progressed, our loyalties just lay with BW, and we continued to love BW, as I don't doubt many of us will for a long time still. I've only done the campaign and maybe like 30 games online on SC2, so I can't input much on SC2, but saying that the logical thing is to switch is just wrong. | ||

So I'd much rather see that they implemented a paying function (if that is possible with Blizzard backing up SC2...) than having a split PL with less and lower quality Brood war. | ||

I think they're feeling that thing we felt when SC2 was trying to enter the scene steal our pros. Fuck Blizzard I don't think so. BW fans are disappointed with the game and don't like it being shoved down our throats. SC2 fans hate LoL because it is competing for the title of ESPORTS king (which by the way it is). Disappointment and hatred are very different things! | ||
