I think we can be happy enough that we got remastered. No shame in putting BW on the shelf now.

no but there are other jobs that prohibit you from doing things in conflict with your company/sponsor.
thats whats applying to bisu, flash etc
it has nothing to do with the fact that theyre playing starcraft (although they got partner contracts by being popular due to starcraft). it has everything to do with the fact that they are streamers on a specific platform and they cant go and stream on a different platform and give revenue to a competitor

Imagine Afreeca scandal-crushes and they all come to Twitch.

Bad for them, good for us, then prolly also bad for us.

They'd probably pick YT anyway.

The only thing I like about AfreecaTV is that it keeps the scene independent from Blizzard

I know it's not exactly the same thing, but something like this has happened before in eSports:
Way before Riot took full control of the League scene, they forced tournament organizers to drop any smaller game they viewed as competition. Dreamhack, for example, was once unable to do a Bloodline Champions tournament, because Riot basically told them they could not have League if they decided to run Bloodline Champions. Kespa also killed the GomTV Starleagues by pulling out one team after the other.

@Highgamer: Afreeca crashing would be the biggest blow to BW since the Kespa SC2 switch. Compared to that, the Sonic scandal was nothing. Afreeca is a big part of why BW was able to survive when everyone went to SC2 and they even stepped in to run a Starleague when we lost SSL. Most eSports nowadays would collapse if the devs pulled out, but thanks to Afreeca BW would be just fine if Blizz dropped KSL. I highly doubt Youtube or Twitch would give the same support to BW that Afreeca is...

Makes ne think that If the scene moves to Twitch for whatever reason, pro teams and a kespa-like org should come back because we would be missing a huge events organiser that sustain his initiatives from streams subscriptions and donations.

*Events, including the extremely important amateur tournaments

I got interested in BW a few years ago because of Twitch, but I moved over quickly to AfreecaTV once I discovered it. AfreecaTV has had a few hiccups (had required flash, frequent lag, spoilers on thumbnails), but it also constantly improves. That they provide English translations and casts speaks volumes about their dedication to the game, esp when you realize some of the top players aren't aware of any BW popularity (fan popularity) outside Korea. Twitch right now, pales in comparison.

Afreeca seems like a great gig for popular players, but I worry about players that are really skilled but have a very small viewership. Based only on what TL tells me about concurrent viewers so probably total bullshit: Viewership seems very very top heavy: flash/bisu get 1000s of veiwers all the time, but then a lower tier player like mini/snow only get a few hundred on average, and then lower than than only a couple dozen tops (forgg, shine, jaehoon).

It doesn't really seem any better than kespa in terms of supporting lower tier players, but then they also aren't forced to play 10+ hours a day for no pay.

If Afreeca crashes, you can say goodbye to the Korean BW scene. Afreeca has been extremely important for helping keeping things going. Early on, a lot of the expros streamed on Afreeca than we got SSL etc... These pros barely get viewers on twitch, but they get lots on Afreeca and it makes sense when you consider BW's popularity.
