The first game I see flash playing SC2 is probably gonna feel like watching lance armstrong riding a tricycle in the Tour de France. W/e less bw = more efficiency doing other things. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

I don't want Flash to play because I think it will diminish his aura of badassery | ||

Please, any of you guys cast it! I'm a SC2 guy and I'd really like to understand whats going on on the BW-Side. Having to watch a korean stream, I won't be able to understand anything of whats happening in the game or what rivalries the teams have. Sayle did cast last PL and afaik has some good knowledge of what's going on in BW scene, I'd really like to see him cast. But honestly dual cast would be the best, more fun / more knowledge, plus casting 8+ hours straight sure is goign to be exhausting. So please guys: give us some english restream! | ||

Honestly, OGN maps should be really interesting to watch from an SC2 perspective. They probably won't look a bit like current sc2 maps and this should be really fun to watch. I just hope they don't have an indepth look at the current sc2 map pool and just go with their instinct and it should be really fun to watch. | ||

And as for people saying, "it'd be great if viewers leave after BW games are done"... no, it wouldn't. It's pretty much already decided that professional BW isn't going to last past this year, the best we could count on as fans is to see the teams we know and love continue their existence even if it's in a different and less interesting game. If OGN decides not to broadcast SC2 in the longterm, it might well mean that all of the current Kespa teams will just disband, leaving the players to either retire or try to make it in SC2 on their own - surely neither of these is a better alternative to having Proleague switch to SC2. | ||

Pretty much this. The e-sports 'industry' in Korea has seen the huge success of SC2 in foreign regions, and the massive amounts of money (apparently?) being thrown around, and want in on it. They are not going to turn back even if a portion (and remember, it's a portion, you won't get everyone involved) of the BW fan community wants to turn their backs on it. It would be far better for the players, teams, industry and the game itself to follow the transition and support the players and teams. Then as time goes on, the storylines you loved from BW will develop once again, and after the expansions SC2 will be gradually fine-tuned by the players and developers until it's as balanced as it can be. Rather than kicking SC2 down, help make it into the new BW, instead of simply boycotting it and being left with nothing at all. And hey, if the SC2 community is what sucks in your opinion, then an influx of BW fans who are supportive of the players and teams may actually set a positive example and help set things straight. However if you were only interested in BW for the game itself, and have no real interest in e-sports on a whole or the where the players go, then fair enough. EDIT: Oh but to clarify, I do think the duel BW/SC2 system is really stupid and will only result in terribly poor quality games and stress for the players, but OGN already said it's only for this one proleague, so we'll just have to put up with it. | ||
