Will the splash they make on the scene with their eventual switch really be as great as they think it is?

Putting TBLS to play? Yeah.

It's concerning to see how little they speak of GSL and the actual current SC2 scene. It's as if they think it's a completely clean slate for them to work with, when, in reality, the game has been released for two years and has a scene that's established pretty well with zero involvement from them. I can see this kind of thinking leading to some very poor decisions.

That's the end. I think that the thing as us, the BW watchers, should understand is that even when the switch occurs, we should still root passionately for the players and the team, even if we don't like the game. I know that the BW elitists really enjoy BW (I grew up with it, I learned English from it, my life REVOLVED around BW. My daddy and I went to the fucking OSLs and shit and I got autograph from Grr when I was 5 woot!) but if we want the players to be able to play and still have a job, we should always be vocal and show our support and prove that the BW supporters, and more importantly, the player supporters still exist!
So please don't trash SC2! I don't even play it but I am willing to at least 'accept it' if it means our players can still play!

BW is such a great game, It's going to be very hard for SC2 to ever live up to the perfection that came with BW.

It's going to take time for things to settle down so I don't think people should just jump ship starting on day 1. There is always a chance for success (no matter how small) so we should give it a chance and see how things are like when they iron out all the creases and things start running more smoothly.

That said, forcing players to practice for two totally different games is really going overboard. It has to be incredibly difficult to deal with it. The quality of gameplay is probably going to go down for both BW and SC2, and if this happens I'm leaving. Quality of spectating is what matters.

I don't know what things were lost in translation but it seems to me that the coaches wish for broodwar to continue, but the times are changing, and they(esports people in general) failed to make BW succeed further (globalization, better infrastructure) and communication with fans was ignored a bit.

The closing of MBCgame definitely hit them hard as well.

and jangbi storms are a thing of the past

even more bitter because these are things that can be added to improve the sequel but blizzard has been simply too pigheaded

I've been hoping for a long time but Dustin Browder and his mindset is just seeming to be doing terrible terrible damge to the franchise right now...

We'll just have to keep hoping I guess..

For Broodwar elitists Sc2 would never have been a succes no matter what, you can't please people who don't want a change.
If it was excactly the same as BW, they would say why bother ? We have BW.
If it is different, they say it's not as good as BW
And your done, typical human behavior tbh.

So i don't understand why they all say they looked forward to Sc2, what did you guys expect ? What would you have wanted ?

For me personaly i wanted Sc2 for the downtime when there was no Broodwar going on, i love broodwar but we don't see enough so much bloody downtime, for me Sc2 would be the game that i could watch next to Broodwar and i could be a fan of both, i never thought 1 would replace the other, still can't tbh.

to be honest they aren't trying to make bw, they are trying to make it a different game. What's the point in making sc2 if it's going to be the exact same as bw? Muta micro wouldn't work btw in sc2 anyway, thors crush stacked muta's so you wouldn't want to do it anyway, vultures would need rebalancing otherwise mines would absolutely destroy zerg due to no detection except for overseer's..

I think blizzard not copying all bw units over is nice (although I do miss lurker :/). But having exact units added back it just sounds like you want bw which we already have.

My biggest concern is that when they admit they are practicing SC2, they are sabotaging the upcoming OSL.
Who would sponsor an OSL when it's been publicly said that the players are now practicing SC2 ?




This really made me sad
