I'll watch if I have the time slot free though, it sounds like the kind of trainwreck you don't want to miss seeing. | ||

I can always find a game with a few friends or strangers and to the other guy above. It's a bunch of things. I mean we've had threads and threads of discussion. Just takes a little searching. Blind, it's as if they don't even try to understand it. I'll give him some guidance though. One of the hottest issues at the moment is the stupid format and if you cannot wrap your head around that then there's zero point trying to explain the rest. | ||

Edit: even if this isn't how you all feel, please enlighten me, cause all I feel coming from you guys is just anger... Imagine the situation. In 10 years or whatever SC3 is released. You love SC2 a lot. You grew up with that game. You played thousand games, it's a part of your identity, part of your soul. You see SC3 and you see that's a completely different game. Gone are the things that you enjoyed the most. It has different feel, it looks different, it is different. You don't enjoy it. However, there is a huge crowd of new people screaming SC3 is the future of ESPORTS. We should move to SC3. You think that SC3 is way worse than SC2 in every respect but despite it all teams switch to it. SC2 cease to be played at competitive level. And you simply don't like SC3. Don't like watchin, it don't like playing it. How would you feel? I grew up with BW.. I'm 26 now. This game has been with me for 14 years! And I don't like SC2. Can't tell you exactly why but simply don't. That's my taste and I have a right not to like a game. Now I'm really really sad that BW will be gone. And I'm really angry that people come here, some 16 years old teenagers screaming: "IT'S FOR ESPORT", "YOU SHOULD SUPPORT ESPORTS" etc. As if I care... I don't. I'm selfish person and I care about my own enjoyment (like most of the people here even those who pretend that they care about some BIGGER issues). | ||

I found the same to be true for SC2 as well when I was introduced to it. The players I already loved that had transitioned helped me to enjoy the game at release even when play was ludicrously unrefined. But over time I developed new stars to follow based on their skill and playstyle, just like I had in BW (Hero comes to mind!). I think that overall the still active BW community largely supports both games like myself, but the vocal minority that has been quite dismissive of SC2 has gained far too much prevalence as of late. I think the other poster was right with the idea that many of these people are trying to "burn the house down" as they leave. I can understand and am perfectly empathetic to those that are unwilling or unable to learn and re-commit to a new game and would rather just leave the scene, but many go far beyond that. They not only throw stones at those bright-eyed fans that would replace them, but also those that they once idolized who have or are now moving on, and for what? It will not bring BW back, and it will not make anyone change their mind. It is argument for the sake of argument, hate for the sake of hate. It will only tarnish the legacy and destroy the reputation of one of the most historically mature and exceptional communities I have ever known. | ||
