Obviously fuck them, that's what they did if you did not see it...Nobody cares about the fans, all they are trying to do here is to convert some bw fans into SC2. Well i hope many of us will not fall for the cheap trick and leave with dignity. Everybody said that bw and sc2 are two absolutely different games when advocating SC2 and suddenly they merged into one league. | ||

Well, on the other side of the coin, some would have retired if they had to keep playing BW (according to Stars Coach Lee). | ||

Well i hope many of us will not fall for the cheap trick and leave with dignity. It occurs to me that a lot of people in BW don't actually have that option. If BW has to go out, then this the best things for the players, because it gives them a chance to transition into a different game and have jobs. I don't know how many B-teamers want to go down with the BW ship if it means being a janitor for the rest of their life because they don't have proper educations. SC2 is Nada's way of paying for college, for instance. It allows the players and casters and coaches to transition and let them get away with being bad at SC2 for a while. Yeah, a clean break would produce better games, but it'd also make it a lot harder. There's more to this than "my game has a bigger dick than your game"; people's lives are being altered by this decision. KeSPA (uncharacteristically?) seems to be taking that into consideration, which is the only nice thing to say about this format. | ||

Although I watch BW when it's on (and I subscribe to certain Youtube channels catering to BW), I have to say my experience has culminated in the thought that "hmm, this is a lot like SC2!". Some of the first full matches I saw were of players that I never heard of (i.e. they weren't Flash, Jaedong, Stork, Bisu, etc). One set I distinctly remember one player walking into siege tank fire needlessly and that immediately broke the aura that I had envisioned around BW. What I really do appreciate is the deep history and meta-game development that BW has. When looking at it that way, BW is so wonderful, but each individual game doesn't seem to have any more chance of being one of those "godly" type games than an SC2 game does. Both games have short cheesy games, both games have timing attacks (and players that build their careers off of them), both have macro games, both have those one-in-a-million EPIC games. I can certainly understand how 'being there' through the history and development of BW must play a huge role in what so many are feeling now, but I really think the similarities of the games far outweigh their differences, at least from a spectator's point of view. I don't want to sound rude, I am just honestly wondering this. Can you point out any games in sc2 that can match the excitement, the quality of game play and the incredible display of skill of, say, these two recent BW games: + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNrlTHtF0BY I understand that this is extremely subjective. But I am sincerely wondering because I have been watching some SC2 tornaments (especially when Stephano is playing because he looks very talented) and I haven't seen any games that are even close to being this good. This can be because the game just doesn't suit my subejctive preferenses or it could be that I just haven't been lucky when watching SC2. | ||

1. Terrible for the players, who have to take to high hurdles at the same time, getting confused. Also they will lose their godlike play for only mid-good play in both games. 2. Terrible for the fans, because the players will suffer and games of BW and SC2 will be at low quality (compared to what we are used to know in bw). Combined, this is the most terrible thing that could happen to an esport community... | ||

Why not make soccer players play some ice hockey too.... your comparison is kinda bad, it would more like having rugby league and rugby union play together which ain't to bad, but yea switching over completely would be more fair for the players and produce better games , but they want to give the current BW fans an experience of sc2 to maybe keep them watching in the future, if they just dropped everything and switched right now, the BW fans would go ape shit and never watch , maybe with the 50/50 league some , obviously not all, might stick with sc2 | ||

Let's just face it. The reason we all know it sucks is because it's boring as hell.  | ||
