I just hope this won't be a total failure and that fans from both games can find some enjoyment in watching the other game. It would be kind of boring to only watch half the match.
Just imagine LoL being the only big "e-sport" left in Korea

There are a lot of rumors circulating the gamer rings that the fans might just leave during the sc2 matches and come back during the BW matches to prove a point. Most here are still pretty hell-bent on the BW scene.
Hmm... so me and my family are going to be in Korea(May 19-27) and I could only choose one between the OSL Ro16 week 2 day 1 and this. If you guys are in my position, which would you choose?
OSL - 4 games, I get to see Flash personally, not so crowded so I might get a seat and some camera exposure , pure BW, the quality of games might be good since at least the builds are prepared and not being experimented. PL - 20-28 games, I get to see ALL teams personally, might be too crowded at the beginning for us to be able to get a seat or even see the games while standing, BW and SC2, terrible format and game quality(maybe).
I can't decide. Choosing one makes me feel that I'm missing so much from the other one . Only if I could go to both...

Dude how is this even a decision.
If you are a massive Flash fan, go to the day where you are guaranteed to see him.
I'll get to see Flash on one(as well as the other 7 players), the entire KT roster on the other(as well as the other 7 teams). I waited really long for this time expecting to be able watch a day of OSL/MSL or a single PL match but now I have the chance to watch 4 matches. 8-12 BW games > 4 BW games. I don't know about you guys but this is a really tough once in a lifetime decision for me.

If you have absolutely zero interest in sc2 then maybe the OSL, otherwise I'd say the PL. The quality of games would be relatively similar I imagine, but you get to see a ton more and witness a pretty important event in esports.
Of course if you dislike sc2 then you'll probably be bored out of your brains for half the day, so that would suck. Depends how far the curiosity of seeing some of the heroes playing a totally new game would take you.
I don't really hate SC2(I'm, like, neutral) and I agree that the game quality might be similar which makes choosing harder. I don't think I'll be bored since I know some stuff about SC2 when I played it about a month after it was released and I'm watching the players I watched, hated and supported over the years playing it.

While I understand that some people will never accept the transition, I feel that it would be a massive shame if this were the case for a large number of spectators.

Mainly because it won't help BW, instead just harm what they are trying to build for the future in sc2. I care about starcraft 2 though and I understand you probably don't, so your viewpoint is fair enough.
Not only the LR issue, there is also the Liquibet issue! Maybe double-list them? Or possibly just keep it in the BW liquibets until the league is 100% SC2?
Speaking of liquibets, this has to be the most unpredictable set of matches to pick of all time. Haven't seen any of these guys play a single game of SC2, at best we can only go off of rumors and pre-match boasting, lol.
it sucks that broodwar is coming to an end but it wasn't sc2 fault. They are trying to build with what they had left. Seriously losing all these sponsors and a whole individual tournament was already spelling a end to broodwar. They are just looking toward the future to a similar game. I rather have that than LoL is what is left of esports in korea. I will be optimistic and watch the players i been rooting for try to make a similar game as exciting. I hope to see a similar thread in the SC2 section and maybe a introduction to these teams so fans can get behind them for the transition

I hope SKT1 and T8 have a gentlemen's agreement and tell Bisu and Jaedong to play the first televised Proleague SC2 game of all-time.
The fact that the two games are completely separate completely solves the problem of lr, having two separate threads causes no problem and makes boycotting one game easier, which is pretty good.

i do think that in the situation that we are now there is no win/win situation, i dont care about sc2,even if jaedong plays it i wont watch, and if the fully transition to sc2 is already going to go anyway after this season, then that is the logic response, you either help bw hurting sc2 or you dont help bw(im talking about pro scene), because sc2 in order to succeed they must kill bw(or at least have a chance to), so there is no other thing to watch, if you give the people both they will probably go all the way with bw(at least koreans), so i actually hope they leave when the sc2 games are being played, so maybe kespa will think better about the transition, which i think its unlikely, but well, its the least we can do.
