If you derail this thread to argue about SC2 vs BW in any context other than that of the interview (e.g. saying things like "colosi suck" or "all BW fans are elitist jerks!"), I will ban you for at least a week, if not more. This is your only warning. I added this page 17

You have been warned

The players have needed a "union" for ages- glad someone with as big an impact as Stork is speaking up on this.
The PP incident and Jaedongs FA come to mind... Don't know who can make this happen though. Kespa sure wont part with their power willingly. Maybe Blizzard, but I'm somewhat doubtful about their motivation to create another power in the business.

The irony is that I always thought KeSPA should stand for Korean eSports Players Association. I think their actual official title is Korea eSports Association. Blehhh

This is very good, I hope something comes through from this - god knows the pros need this at this time.

I am really happy to see the BW pros taking on SC2 but Stork is more than right. I watch and follow Brood War since i don't even remember and i just feel that they are forced to play SC2 or die.

I don't want to see Brood War end... and surely not like that.

Stork is more than right (yeah i already said that).

Kespa needs to listen.

Woah, good on Stork to put his neck out like this. Frankly, i didn't even know that there wasn't a players organisation. I really hope they can arrange something, Kespa basically relies on the big players and the storylines or else they wouldn't exist. I think it's only fair that the players also have a say in how things are being done.

to be honest, this is the reason why I am such a stork fan for so many years - this guy is making a difference....

I will never stop supporting him and every single fan of him is a personal friend of mine!

the truth is speaking...

Stork is bringing to light something very important for many players. A good number of the 'middling' bw players are looking at losing their solid revenue stream and having to retire as a result. The b teamers are already getting little to nothing so they have an incentive to prove themselves in SC2. The big names (flash, jaedong, bisu, a few others) will probably stick around so they can get a bit of that sweet foreigner prize money. A good bunch in the middle will be stuck between trying their hand at a new game all over again or retirement/doing their military commitment.

Stork is a true leader if he is trying to bring this issue to the forefront to help out his fellow progamers. I really hope they can do a korean players organization before getting really deep into sc2.

Go Stork. Fuck this new PL season, really, as well as the SC2 transformation in general. Sorry. SC2 can have its leagues, let BW have its own or die out. That way people would have the choice of switching or not more directly.

Control groups are 12. Way to make it completely obvious that you don't know what you are talking about. If you don't even know the most basic facts, how can you form such a solid opinion?

The best way is to just have a meeting with all the teams on their own initiative and then choose players out of their own teams to represent them to Kespa. And then they can make some demands or go to extreme measures like a strike it's not like Kespa would hand this body any power willingly anyway.

Yup, the general trend: too many SC2 players saying they "loved" Brood War yet lack the basic knowledge of how the game actually works. Then they say they played it when they were 10 (probably playing Bunker Wars and other UMS all day) without ever following the pro scene.

I'm sure they love the game all right.
