Seen few threads on SC2 forums whining about Koreans being too good and foreigners getting behind. Same thing is happening with LoL. Yes people are angry at first but they get used to it and enjoy the game.. | ||

That was like 240p as well. we are talking about the best of the best, and the BEST PRODUCTION VALUE now as well. There's no question it will get big, Very big. HoTS Should add fire, i hope it comes out soon... Can't stand to see LoL take over. Yeh, Im sure if they had a stream just like they do for LoL it would get very big. Especially if they are as generous as they are with LoL (Free 1080p, and english casters - even if it is moletrap) Just for the resolution alone is enough for people to prefer to watch it over GOMs $19.99/month 540p "HQ" stream | ||

I just hope the bw pros see the beauty and possibilities in starcraft 2 instead of just labeling it as an easy and boring game :/ It's not surprising since switching over means that they lose their advantages over the current scene. But hey, it's adapt or perish for them, it's not like they got any other viable choices. Let's see what options they have: -Retire from Esports completely Good luck getting a decent job with that high school degree in Korea, when pretty much everyone has an undergraduate degree. Oh wait, there's Afreeca. But have fun trying to compete with that traitor Savior, not to mention how degrading would be meeting the same fate as that scum who is also responsible for their current predicament. -Ignore SC2, focus on BW Sure, they'll be comfy for awhile, but as time passes, sooner or later, they will become bench-warmers in favor of SC2-proficient players. -Suck it up, switch to SC2, abandon BW Your progamer life will be mostly same as before, just replace BW with SC2. But prepare for GSL players a year later or get ripped to shreds and fall into obscurity. Man, BW players are fucked big time right now. | ||

To be honest I used to look down on the STX coach because their team lacks personality and usually loses (sorry STX fans) but after this interview I see that he's a great man with great insight and passion for eSports. I honestly can't be hating on SC2 or LoL or whatever that isn't BW, I think I'll support whatever they decide to go with. He's the chicken-bribe man, right? He'd do anything for BW and e-sports  He's also incredibly articulate about how they floundered their opportunities before. Favorite coach (next to Park of course).Thanks OS! | ||

That is why they are asking players like MVP, Nestea, MMA to help? They will definitely look same for some time. the game is still young and evolving. And yes it will be different in time, some of them might change the match-up completely like what happened to PvZ in BW . | ||

One good thing was that because SC2 battles are so much faster, the player's mechanics increased because they needed faster reactions. This really caught my attention. Is he saying that BW pros have to move even faster in SC2 to keep up with the pace of the game? Does this mean the idea of a low skill ceiling is false? I'm really looking forward to seeing just what these guys can bring to the scene once they're playing SC2 full time. | ||

BW as fucked only in the sense that they are going to have to switch games to continue their careers, which is saddening to me. I have faith that they will like SC2 in the long run, but the longing of BW will always be there. | ||

We complain about unit design and interface design and all that jazz, but sponsors couldn't care less about that stuff. What they see is a sorta new game with an eye-openingly large international following and inconclusive speculation on whether or not a complete transition could succeed in Korea. That's what's driving all this. SC 2 has a huge international following. BW's international scene is dead. SC 2's is not - and is being fueled by huge sponsors and organizations. The BW coaches and sponsors look at this and think, wow - what the fuck are we doing missing out on this? That's why they're trying to switch. They know SC 2 is a failure in Korea, but their eyes are on the international prize. | ||

I mean just think about the possibility when bw was it's peak and kespa actually had grand finals all over the world ... Bw would have been spread globally man . But I am just playing it to my fantasy . Whatever the circumstances it is I want kespa to succeed over gom . Why do you want Kespa to succeed over Gom? Seems weird, can't they have both success, more gaming channels are better in my opinion. On topic: Still not digging the mixed format. =/ But nice to have insight in the minds of those coaches. I gained a new perspective regarding the stx coach. Thx for translation optical shot. | ||

No in the spirit of the article it seems that sc2 is a new chance for them to start everything from a clean slate and fixing all the error's they have done before and they are also focusing on the korean scene first than only internationally . | ||
