edit: Also remember that the BW/SC2 alternation increases the presence of known good BW players like Bisu and Stork, who otherwise might struggle to even see many games in SC2-only, considering their transition is still far from their BW status. | ||

Very bad for the players tough, this is afterall their job, especially since they still have to watch GSL pros rake in the money at tournaments both GSL and foreign while they are hamstrung by playing 2 different games. I rather watch great BW or no BW, not half assed, we kinda prepared for it BW. And i bet the same goes for SC2 viewers, they dont want to watch half assed, half prepared SC2 either. | ||

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. | ||

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 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. =( | ||

It just seems more like a "I want it all" maneuver by KeSPA, desperately trying to retain the BW-fan base through prolonging the format. It's even more bad this way because by doing such, they'd probably lose more viewers as the quality of both games will suffer with the same problem of practicing for two games still present. Stick to SC2 or BW, trying to stick to both at once is going to make KeSPA lose both. | ||

I would preffer let them to die broodwar in peace than to make another season of torment for bw. If and prolly it will happen OSL become sc2 then its just sad to watch how bw need to share it greatness with sc2. Im trully fan of bw and i dont like this decision mostly because the level of the bw games dropped much since progamers need to practise both game in same time and thats not what i wish to watch. I miss old times when i woke up at 4 am in my country just to watch bw games live... now i hardly watch them at all because of that mix. Jd is no longer jd, flash is no longer flash... they are no longer same players. Why they cant make 2 different leagues for bw and sc2? People and players could choose what game to play/watch. Yeh, yeh i know... its all about $$. :/ On July 17 2012 03:01 sM.Zik wrote: Oh yeah, because players like Grrrr..., Garimto, Nal_Ra, Reach, Anytime, Bisu, Stork and Jangbi never won anything big ;p !

The hybrid league isn't making BW fans happy. All it's doing is guaranteeing that the next proleague is going to be a disaster, because the SPL players still won't have caught up to the SPL players (and KeSPA's being stupid with the maps). If people wanted to watch Proleague just because they liked SKT1 or Flash or whatever, the hybrid league wouldn't've been a failure. All they're doing is extending the amount of time for which it'll be the fourth best SC2 team league. On July 17 2012 04:02 ninini wrote: It's not because they feel the players are too bad. It's because the fans will not show up if they do a full transition. Fans aren't showing up NOW. A lot of BW fans have written PL off and are pretending the OSL is the last Brood War, and SC2 fans lost interest in SPL two weeks in. It'll be really interesting to compare the crowd for the GSL finals next week (I think) to the crowd for the SPL finals. On July 17 2012 05:05 Fionn wrote: KESPA is kinda in a tough place right now. They own the BW market 100% and their fans will come see those games, but there is no new sponsor interest and a bleak future to stay afloat. For the SC2 market, there are loads of sponsors and international opportunities, but the GSL, if you like it or not, is the face of Korean SC2. Even with OSL now having SC2 games, the attendance between GSL and the Hybrid Proleague/ODT is heavily in GSL's favor with the GOM Studio almost always packed for Code S/GSTL games now. I haven't seen the ODT yet. Was it really empty? I imagine the OSL games between GSL players and KeSPA players will have a big crowd; there's an obvious and cool storyline there. Past that, who knows. The GSL, in addition to having the best players, is also way more responsive to community desires than KeSPA is. KeSPA can't keep acting like they're the only game in town. | ||

That's what you get when blizzard kills BW without making SC2 a worthy successor. I wonder when sponsors will abandon SC2 due to the lack of interest among the audience in Korea. Based on the fact that blizzard designers seem completely clueless as to what they want HotS to be, I don't even expect SC2 to last till LotV. | ||

They should have aligned Proleague either with the end of the last BW OSL or with the release of HotS, or both. They could have had a final Proleague in full BW, and have the hiatus between the end of that Proleague and the release of HotS for KeSPA players to practice SC2. When HotS hits, all SC2 metagame will be reset anyways, which is basically where KeSPA players are falling behind, giving them an even ground to GSL players and a good timing for them to start competing in SC2. This was all basically very badly planned between KeSPA, GOM and Blizzard, which oddly enough was that supposed cooperation that made the KeSPA transition to SC2 possible. | ||

People are comparing current BW to BW two years ago, and that's the cause of the irritation. SPL players have an excuse for not being good at SC2 (new, have to split their time), but that doesn't mean SPL SC2 is super entertaining to watch, even for SC2 fans. | ||

GOMTV right now has the best players, the best maps, and is much better at working with the community than KeSPA's ever been. KeSPA simply can't just mosey in to the SC2 scene on Flash's star power. They need to actually have the best players, not just players with a lot of potential who are expected to do well eventually. MVP is saying he beats Soulkey while off-racing as Zerg. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to watch Proleague right now, unless they're a huge fan of a team or player specifically. And all those people are watching the hybrid format now. Seeing what a failure the hybrid format is (SPL is getting way worse crowds even than GSTL).... I don't seen how that's such a big deal (talking about MVP beating SoulKey). One of the best SC2 players beats someone when off-racing. Flash was able to beat progamers (even as high as top30 KeSPA rank I think?) with his Protoss. Dunno about other progamers. | ||

Even if they not play as good as they used to i really would like to see BW going out with a tournament with all the bonjwa (yes i said ALL ! fuck you i love Savior). Even just see Boxer playing one more time and bunker rush yellow 22times in a row. See JulyZerg win in a 1minute game without knowing that he had been proxy gateway but his opponents trapped his zealots between the gateway... I wanna see nuke rushes, dropships micro, barracks landing behind the mineral line making the marines impossible to kill. Vultures run bys and mutas micro. If Brood War has to go, it has to go with style, and a lot of the greatest figures of all time. | ||
