I really hope that this is not the beginning of a trend for other BW teams to pull out of the running. I don't see why other sponsors would pull funding because SC2 is simply another great avenue for advertising for them. | ||

Also sometimes i feel this community so friendly that i want to hug everybody lol and only dream what can be if we was able to gather together to watch events and have BW fun :D Unfortunatelly im not living in Korea nor USA. So playing/watching home kills the thrill in many cases plus everybody can behave like ass on the internet no problem. well, it was fund memories except that I went to a pcbang recently after returning to Taiwan (It was extremely popular during my childhood). Smokes everywhere, gang members around the corner with tattoos, everything smells like cig or instant noodles, and ridiculously (relatively) hourly cost. It is no wonder pcbang have been in such heavy decline in Taiwan now that personal computers and internet access is extremely affordable. Would never visit another one again I personally think pcbang in Korea would probably have been in a much steeper decline if not for all their businesses being partially funded by the government | ||

Isn't it still true that SC2 gamers are going to have to join the air force? Won't the Air Force still get whatever propmotional benefits they had been getting by having an SC2 team? Well sucks for Kespa. | ||

From what I understood, Ace objective was to make the army "get in touch" with the youngsters. BW was a huge boom and every kid was playing it, so the military thought that creating a military team would improve the youngsters view on the military service. However, with the decline of BW and its eventual replacement with the very unpopular SC2, Ace has not the foundations to continue with the team. But my personal guess is that Ace is too honorable to switch to a game that was forced down into the scene. Respect! | ||

Yes, the game became easier, but now it is a worldwide phenomenon. it is not SC2 that created something, but the money that being pumped into it since its arrival. Numerous championships, good price pools, young naive fanboys brought up on CoD sequels. All sums up... | ||

All sums up... all the money pumping into wc3 didn't do shit, what you describe is essentially the underlying assumption of the "bubble" argument. Those never cease to amuse me, and sc2 will most likely only further grow with HOTS releases | ||

BW in good times had more viewers and live spectators than SC2 has now globally. Only one OSL or PL final could have like 10 times more tv viewers and spectators that any MLG today. | ||

This means there will only be 7 teams for the next proleague (if there is one, at this point will there even be a sponsor for 2013?), so perhaps it's time to find a way to meld with the GSTL teams? | ||
