I find it hilarious one of the argument against sc2 is because it had starcraft in its name. That's akin to say broodwar is only famous because it was the only game with a budget during the pcbang era or if broodwar was so great then why is it dying. circular logic ftw | ||

What it means is that SCtoo is being judged against BW because it has the name "StarCraft" in it. Objectively, SCtoo is a great game (all things considered), but it is taking criticism from those familiar with BW and its proscene because it is being judged against one of the best RTS of all time, and would probably be given a bit more credit if it wasn't called StarCraft. Then again, it might not be as popular either. | ||

I love playing SC2 and i love watching SC2 and thats all i care about. I don't think any one who really knew the BW scene and understood at least a small part of the strategic depth of the game can prefer sc2 to bw. The pros play for a living. They want whatever they can get out of the game before it is replaced by the next one that is backed up by a large enough corporation. No one would have the guts to admit that though, except maybe for Idra... Only people like Coach Jung Soo Yeong, who are not dependent on the approval of the "e-sports" mob can say what they really think. It will be interesting to see what STX Soul's coach will have to say about SC2 now, since it has become the life line of his team in Proleague - I bet he won't say, as he did before, that the only good thing about the game was its name. You could call us elitists all you want, but you have to understand that what we have now is mob rule. Because of hype and commercialisation, a real sport and ultimately an important part of (at least) the Korean culture is on the verge of destruction and from my perspective, sc2 only lives of the ignorance of its fans who don't question what they are being spoon-fed. | ||

Once again my favourite old player, Goodfriend gets no love :c I would have put him on instead of sync. Yea sync transfered to KTF ealrier than Goodfriend, but GF allways preformed better than sync in teamleagues for KTF. | ||

If you want proof, just look at TL IRC chat during events of which SC2 isn't the only game played. Or stream chat during the same events. If they show 5 mins of another game (say Halo) the SC2 vocals go crazy with shit like "WHERE IS MY SC2?" or "WHAT IS THIS SHIT HALO CRAP??? WHERE IS IDRA" | ||

As a member of the Sc2 community I beg to differ. I enjoy watching Proleague and not only for Sc2. I love watching Bw as well and love the BW players as well. | ||

Did you honestly expect pro-SC2 opinions in this forum? There's no need for you to defend the honor of the SC2 scene here and tell us we are all ignorant nostalgiafags, it just makes everyone roll their eyes and creates more animosity towards SC2. | ||

The comments are extremely aggressive towards any other game than SC2. I experienced it all while trying to get back into SC2, and there is some especial hatred against LoL. There is almost 0 tolerance to anything else in the streams.. from one of the best gaming communities, SC became one of the most intolerant. Funny enough, they use the same arguments they used to defend SC2 from criticism from people who played BW to attack LoL... go figure... Maybe things changed, don't know. Whenever an event with multiple games stream, we will find out. | ||

SC2 and BW arent the only esports games btw. On the contrary, E-Sports is dead. The "growth" that you see around you is for competitive gaming. | ||
