Stork: "There needs to be a Players Council." - Page 6
| Forum Index > BW General |
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 ~GMarshal | ||

On the issue at hand, I'm not sure. BW has been fading for a couple years, though - but then, not because of SC2 directly. KeSPA's railroading SC2, that's clear; Blizzard is probably pushing them hard as well. But KeSPA has never been about making concessions, while Blizzard exists by doing business, so is working mainly with what is there. I could see this as an opportunity, in some ways - if the sentiment is widespread - for GOM and OGN to reach an agreement with the teams and cut KeSPA out entirely. But that would demand some sort of settlement with the BW players, otherwise it's just the same problem and they'll stick with the devil they know. Also I don't know Korean intricacies, so that might be impossible - but I could see, say, Team 8 or STX "disbanding" and reforming under the GSL umbrella if some arrangement were proposed. I feel like a stable team league is necessary for Starcraft to continue in popularity, and my impression is that the KeSPA Proleague is the closest thing there is: GSTL and IPL neither of them have a stable lineup of teams (though they do have a pool to draw from) or anything like a professional "season". I don't know, I'm just rambling here. | ||

Does he want to go back to BW, skip this hybrid business and go straight to SC2, or just set up some kind of system for players who get lost in the transition? Is the transition the issue, the way the transition is happening, or just progamer life in general under KeSPA being pushed to a breaking point? What exactly does he want this players association to do? Players have little to no control about the decisions of the corporate and are basically forced into what ever tasks presented to them. Stork says "enough is enough, let's take back what is ours." and we go "Hell, its about time!" | ||

The games are just trash, the players are playing like trash, and the fans have to be cowed into this new game. AFAI have seen, Fantasy isn't playing like trash (yet). but most definitely have. | ||

Previously bw pro gamers were only needed to play bw only and they were able to deliver jaw dropping action and quality games for the fans all over the world and now they have to play in this frankenstein league where players have to divide their attention span to two games . Sure some players may have that " I will make out of this I don't give a **** I will survive this BS".However not all of them can accept that the level of play is going to be reset to the point there is nothing to differentiate them from other players . This will probably won't change anything however but Stork saying this little things like " maps are bull shit for bw and kespa don't give a damn about bw " only made a fan boy for stork . He isn't all happy about the sc2 transition and the way they are forcing them to play in this way. | ||

Seriously nothing gets me more hype than dragoons killing siege tanks line and only stork is capable of making this happen because in the hands of the commander dragoons become immortal and become the imbalance for the siege tank. Probably retiring of brave pushed stork in to this position or he had enough of the pushing kespa has been doing to them .

 but he has been playing since 2005, and one of the longest careers in bw, he is experienced and he would make a good leader this won't make a difference but i'm glad players like stork can voice their opinions like this and take initiative and have courage | ||
