But unlike Korean BW, which lives on their profesionalism and legacy, these games are popular in China just because of easy piracy, low system requirement and guess what, no one else playing them outside of the mainland. Think Im a lil bit offtopic lol /my2cent
Yup. No one else besides a mere one billion mainlanders
For people who don't know any Chinese players, the Chinese Bnet attack was 1 of the most hilarious gaming show I've ever watched.
How big is the chinese scene ? How much money is that ( from a chinese perspective, i know what 1300 $ is worth, ) ? Do they know there is a foreign scene ? Will they let us stream their event ?
It might not be as good right off the bat, but if this takes off, it'll definitely be *close* in terms of entertainment value. Didn't some Chinese player take off a game from Bisu at a WCG? (And he almost won another one too)

If Korea dumps BW, and China picks it up, I'd be okay with that. More money, more people, growing economy, and they like foreigners way more than Koreans do. I'd actually like this quite a lot.
there needs to be a thread with all the details about the Chinese BW scene, seeing as none of us know what the hell is going on lol ... whoever does it will be much appreciated

I think you're way too optimistic. This is to honour the last OSL, not re-create the industry in China.
EDIT: Shit. Like 5 seconds after reading the front page I wrote this, and somehow forgot the fact that it's continuous. Looks like I'm wrong!

I think you're wrong. Some people have.. you know, a can-do attitude, and a fervor for what they love doing.
