Announcing that after the hybrid PL tournament that starts 3rd week of May ends at October, the next PL season will be full SC2. No news on whether or not it's the last BW OSL, but it very well might be. | ||

All about the game itself, here, particularly with TLBS (exceptions are guys like Firebathero, but "Watch Firebathero play SC2!" is not a draw for anyone). Strawman 101 | ||

I have never follow the SC1 progamers scene even if i have played and enjoy the game (i often do again the campain and a bit of ladder on internet) but i started to play seriously at SC2 and follow the main events, watch some streams ... I just post here to ask if someone can explain me what are the big differences between the 2 games that make the big fans of the first opus reluctant to play to the second ? Warning : as there is a lot of passion in this debate i just want to point out my post is not a troll, taunt or whatever bullshit, i really don't know the difference between the two games and just want to understand it so i will enjoy a pm that can briefly shows me those differences and why he enjoy the first or the second opus of starcraft. By the way, even if i am not really interested in SC1, i feel sad that people who enjoy this game HAD to switch to another one. If big differences really exist, i don't understand why big tournaments of SC1 had to stop cause the better graphics does not make a game better. Moreover i think that is a problem for the development of esport cause how to build a real sport if every 10 years the game stops and people who were good at it have to learn another one  | ||

Did you plan to get into OSL/ProLeague Team? The rest will keep playing BW. Maybe the Pros are forced to switched to SC2 because they earn their money with that but you don't have to ^^ | ||

It's always been pointless to play broodwar unless you're living in korea and are a progamer but at least it's been fun. Why else would you stay up till 6am casting random DRTL games.  | ||

Maybe dota2 will change that but its hard to deny its flagship status at the moment I read somewhere, that Riot is throwing such a large amount of money at making League of Legends and Esports, that Esports wont touch DoTa2, in fear of losing the money Riot is throwing at them.. Mabey a few years down the road DoTa2 might make its way into Esports, but for the convievable future, its LoL as the only MOBA is Esports.. | ||

All the top strategic geniuses and strategists are going. You really think anybody in the entire amateur scene could even remotely compare to the strategic minds of all the pro-team coaches or the likes of iloveoov? What's to keep the current strategies from getting stale? How will tactics hold up? Will we keep degenerating because the skill level gets so low, really BAD strategies and builds become viable? Yes. Once proscene is dead, wannabe players like me might stop imitating the recent strategies and try to imitate other strategies as well. We'll be bad at executing these strategies just as we were bad at executing the recent ones. In other words, when progamers are gone, bad players will be bad. That's what people mean by 'BW will be just fine'. I doubt anyone here expects someone from the amateur scene to suddenly step up and introduce strats to beat the no longer existing progamers ._. | ||

Makes me ashamed to say I like esports when it looks like it's played on a fucking cellphone and all the players are mindless gooks. User was warned for this post User was temp banned for this post. Yet you enjoy watching a game that looks like its for 5 year old children, and is still dominated by what you call "mindless gooks" ((look at the Code S tournament.. there is only 1 foreigner in there, the rest of Koreans)) You have a double standard kiddo.. Sc2 looks childish from my point of view, whereas Sc/Bw had the best graphics for the longest time when it came to computer games ((sure it might be outdated now, but I still love the way it looks, and i will take my "cellphone game" over our childrens graphics anyday)) And for the record, koreans are some of the nicer people you will meet, when they arnt banning you from their games for not speaking korean, and I can guarantee they are 10x smarter than your mindless self.. | ||

I play Zerg because, i feel, it is the rush race.. Lots of pressure really fast, Lots of pressure all game, Lots of good times. Who knows, an amature might invent a 3 hatch queen+ensnare build to counter M&m timing push's.. Ive tried it, and it could work... I just cant give up hope on Sc:Bw, sure the pro's might leave, but hopefully players like Rush and Turn stick to it, to keep it moving forward, and besides nothing makes me light up like a christmas tree like seeing a deep6.. ((lord i hate terran on a real note.. but gotta love that deep6)) I mean 14 years is alot of time and emotions built into 1 thing, and its not easy to let something like that go to the wayside.

No it's not. A strawman is when you ignore a strong argument to focus on a (real or invented) weaker one. I'm making one and only one argument: BW players won't follow TBLS outside of BW because they don't care about TBLS outside of BW.

It was off-camera, but Sundance Giovanni (head of MLG) said this more-or-less explicitly at a Gold Members meetup at MLG Providence. Riot gives MLG $$ and Valve doesn't, so LoL > Dota. The LoL scene is extremely Riot-driven. | ||

Also, there are plenty of people who care about Jaedong. | ||
