Then we get good BW and good SC2. Than you don't need to change something and just let there be two leagues. There will be some significant changes, unfortunately, otherwise they wouldn't have split the PL season into two parts anyway. | ||

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 Your post is absurdly ignorant. I'm not sure even where to start. We don't watch BW because it's mechanically more demanding, we watch BW because it's played better in every aspect: strategy, multitask, decision making, EVERYTHING. BW fans can't be SC2 fans because SC2 is cannibalizing everything that we worked so hard for over the past 10 years. Just because it has "starcraft" in it's name, you guys feel like you have the right to everything we created. You're even recycling our players like some kind of bastardized retirement home. Go start "esports" on your own, purely off the passion and dedication of fans and players. Then come back and we'll talk about sharing a league. All I see in sc2 is people trying to make money. All I see in BW is passion and love for the game. Here's what your precious foreign players have to say about their game IdrA cuz its a shit game Jinro Although, as someone who is currently playing SC2 professionally, I would have to say that yes, SC2 is inferior to SC1. Why are they playing sc2 then? To make a living off gaming because they weren't good enough at BW. Midas I'm going to confess that in the off-season, I tried out StarCraft 2 and League of Legends. I was so surprised when I first played StarCraft 2. I couldn't believe that such an easy game exists. Same with League of Legends. I guess the best way to attract people these days is to make things easy and simple." If by "breathe new life into the BW scene" you mean screw us over, then sure. Because cutting our only league left in half is "breathing new life". Yup. Maybe SC2 should donate all of it's prize winnings to sponsor a new OSL. SC2 owes 100% of it's success to BW. If it was called space invaders 3, it would, at best, be a thread in the Sports and Games subforum. | ||

But I really don't want to see this stupid system. Rather a complete SC2 proleague than this. SC2 is booming outside of Korea. It isn't doing that great in Korea at all. Get your facts straight. If you're going to host a SC2 PL its better to jump in with both feet or not at all. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Besides that can you guys do me a favor and just ignore everything the PG guy says? He hasn't said anything credible since he joined. | ||

As a fan of both games, I'd watch it, of course. BW fans can suffer through a few SC2 matches, I think, and ditto for SC2 fans. If you love your game, you'll watch, and I think that's what Kespa is counting on. Hopefully, though, they'll at least have different squads for each game. There's no way you can practice two games and still be as good as you can be. That's more of a team management thing than anything else, though... | ||

I guess it may be more about the capital required to run two separate leagues? Take into consideration that two leagues means you need another accessible timeslot, more studio time which in turns ups broadcasting costs and things of that nature. I'm just saying that as long as players aren't cutting their practice between two games I wouldn't mind. | ||

That's really unnecessary... If anything SC2 is bringing a new level of progaming outside Korea. | ||

How can a BW fan get hyped about competition when it becomes such a farce. No kidding, if anything ever happens like this they should change the name to bullshit league. | ||

Set 1: BW Set 2: SC2 Set 3: LoL Set 4: DotA 2 Set 5: Fifa Online Set 6: WoW Arena Ace Match: Tic Tac Toe IT WOULD BE THE COOLEST GAME LEAGUE EVER! well the championship gaming series or CGS shared the same idea of this kind of format . It died prematurely because it could never sustain enough sponsorship and garner enough fans or viewers . So sadly nope having this kind of format will be a total drop of interest from fans of each game . | ||
