Oh their so stupid. Some general in some cushy office some where who can't type and has no idea what the heck a video game is and he's never met his kids made this decision. This is a perfect example as to why the military is always 5 steps behind the curve.

( Sad days indeed. Always sucks losing teams, especially ones which have been established for such a long time, and have such awesome histories.

Hopefully their players find a home after their military service is done.

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

Truly sad news. Every day I pray for sc2 to catch on like bw did...


It has to some extent and will continue to do so. More people watch SC2 than they ever did Brood War. Merely a transition, yet just as new people come in during a time of growth so too do others leave.


You are so wrong, more people watched bw than sc2 has ever had. Tt was on tv afterall, sc2 in still only online. I dont know the exact numbers, but I'm pretty sure that more people wactched bw than sc2. I mean just look at the stadiums where they played sometimes up to 30k ppl attenden - How many people do you see attend a sc2? Not nearly half as much as that, I can assure you that.


In ONE country, it was very popular.

SC2 is very, very popular WORLDWIDE.

People packing a convention center isn't really a valid argument. It only shows local support. SC2 has people packing convention halls in every country where there even IS an event.

Also, how many Broodwar Barcrafts were there?

One in five male teenagers watched the Flash vs Best ace match in the 10-11 Proleague Grand Final. When was the last time a SC2 tournament had a million viewers at once?

this was bound to happen sooner or later... I doubt the Korean Air Force has the resources necessary to spend on upgrading equipment plus new coaching for SC2 like the other privately-owned teams in order to compete in a not very popular game in Korea.

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?

I think KeSPA already is planning on merging with the GSTL teams next Proleague season, which I think is scheduled to start in October after this season of Proleague is over.

I don't know what are you spewing about WC3. It did take off in MANY countries, especially in the east to the like of China and S.Korea. But it died off in S.Korea due to map being fixed to favor one race over another intentionally and being phased off by BW there.

And then China took over that scene. Beside WarCraft 3 scene was MUCH more conceived in the European Countries in addition to BW as RTS game (probably more so).

That being said, if Blizz pumped a lot of money into War3 for the growth of the game, it did have marvelous effect.

Beside if we are going to be all technical and whatnot, DotA is part of the WC3 franchise.

And I don't really know what to tell you about SC2, all that I know is that even in the countries outside of S.Korea, LoL is pretty much taking it over too. And despite for being very casual friendly, I do believe that LoL is here to stay with the professional gaming scene for a long time.

When BW is done will you guys just continue to whine about everything until you get banned? Shitting on other people isnt going to bring your game back and it would make everyone a lot happier if people could maybe scroll through one page without seeing people telling how much they hate SC2 and how superior BW is. No one is happy or excited to see BW go but you guys are just making things worse.

...What the fuck are you talking about? I said that there's nothing positive about this. It's a team disbanding; it's obviously a bad thing. The only person making things worse here is you by coming in here and randomly talking shit about people for no apparent reason.

I would like to see KESPA's official response to that.Though it is surely sad for players (those who now or in a nearest future will join the army), I must say, I support such a decision. "E-sports" never existed. There were only some people playing best-selling games in the front of their loyal fans and get paid for that by sponsors. And as the fans evolve you have to decide whether to evolve with them or to quit. If progaming was a sport, there would be no issue of "tranisitioning to other game". I mean why? Imagine any (even the worst) NBA team willing to switch to ice-hockey or volleyball. Or imagine Lakers or Knicks forced to switch to volleyball, since a certain well-recognized sport equipment producer has a lot of balls and nets to sell. And of course if fans deny to watch basketball players playing volleyball (or they just simply don't buy these nets), perhaps NBA authorities decide to move to soccer... The officials of so-called "e-sports" have nothing in common with any sport association's functions (except for restricting an access to progaming by licensing system), and actually make marketing-wise wrong decisions. In such a volatile environment, "quit" is the reasonable decision.
