Looks like they're taking the "we'll stick to our promise" approach. I don't mind, but the players will have to endure the tough task of splitting their practice times for a little longer. I'd imagine at this point, the BW practices are more of casual fun breaks for the progamers (loser buys chicken?), while SC2 practices are more intensive and geared towards improvement of skills.

Ill be honest for the good of the players I had hoped that they would just let BW die and let the OSL finals be the last games of BW played so it would go out with a bang.

OT

Fried chicken is the best

Well, for a few select players and teams (anyone left in the OSL and their practice partners), I would imagine they're focusing on Brood War more than ever.

The other teams are probably like 90% SC2, 10% BW. It seems like most of them are just coasting on their years of practice to get them through this horrid season.

They should never have done the hybrid thing to beging with (poor players), but I'm glad they're sticking to it. Especially because this means I get to watch some Proleague BW live. :D

This please. As much as I like broodwar, This isnt the right way of ending it. Better off with a big bang (Only BW Grandfinals that are coming up) then some semi bullshit like this Also I cant wait to see how good they can acutally get in sc2.

I'm fine with this, I guess. Proleague BW games can still be good like bisu's most recent game was.

Yeah, but Bisu's game was more sloppy than good.. He coulda won that a lot more crisply.

Oh well glad we still have some games left
(they should change it to full bw just for this season and send it off in a bang! WHOS WITH ME????!?!?!!!!!!)

End this shit already. Let BW go out with OSL and let the guys just fully transfer over to sc2. sc2 is the future for these guys and the faster they get to fully commit to the game and not having to worry about BW the better it is for their future.

Some of you may think it's great to have BW in Proleague because it's sad that BW is coming to an end so you take all the BW you can get, but I just think it's sad that BW will end with a shit standard of games in Proleague where SC2 has the bigger impact of the outcome anyway. If the ace was BW then yeah, maybe it would have been different but as of right now when the future is sc2 and the ace is sc2 it's just painful to watch.

Still waiting for Kespa to make the most retarded situation of all---keeping bw here but like not having it in the playoffs or something (defeating the purpose of having the mixed format). Looks like they are doing the "sticking with promises" approach.

Still wonder how the fuck playoffs are going to work with this format. If they decide that you can choose freely then the bw games may be good as people will dedicate solely to one for a brief time. Otherwise shit like the semifinals will be a battle of "let's gear it to the best possible finals lineup" instead of "who is a better team". Plus the first place team would have such a huge fucking advantage in preparation.

I'd shoot someone's cat if bw in the grand finals is only 2 sets.

For Kespa to keep BW for this season only would had been a excellent choice.
If they fully switched to SC2 and had some ending cermony for SC:BW would had been nice as well.
To keep this hybrid is terrible though and will produce nothing but horrible gameplay. =(

do they say what kind of difficulties they're afraid to face or is that just a poor imaginary excuse for making another dumb decision?
