Kespa's decision to switch to sc2 ended players' careers prematurely, is decreasing the motivation of those still playing, and will lead to continued retirements from now on. Proleague, GO BACK! I would pay money for them to bring back BW Proleague. Be it a subscription or anything like that. I loved Proleague and I have barely played BW. It was so much fun to watch. I didn't always know what was going on but it was still crazy exciting to watch.

It's just disappointing when SC2 came, it could not become the game most BW fans could stand against.
Really emotional interview. I sincerely hope all former brood war programers manage to find happiness in their lives; most of them definitely have dedication and strength to succeed.

T_T Glad he is back to his roots.

"Bisu isn't fully getting used to BW yet, but he will improve for the fans that want to see the old him. After recovering a bit he might consider playing in SSL."

Give it a few months... 3 at best.
They can't retire in the middle of their contract, it'll be more likely next Aug

Is there any way for us to donate Afreeca balloons? :D

I might be wrong, but I really do think that being two leagues in korea (Proleague + GSTL) did hurt SC2 scene (in KR).
I never felt I was able to see the best of the best going against each other, because the "other" best could play exclusively in the other league.
Who knows, I might be right too...

I don't believe so since some TL members already tried. Best you can do is watch snipealot's stream and the ad revenue gets donated to them.

If the ad revenue gets donated wouldn't you be able to just give the money to snipealot to be included in the next donation wave?

I guess that's true as well. You can sign up for an afreeca account so some TL members have those but to donate, you need a valid credit card and I believe you have to have gotten it from Korea otherwise it doesn't work(mentioned in the other thread in this section).

"To be honest I won't be surprised if Flash hyung and Stork hyung retire right now. Anyone who knows them won't be surprised. The burden on us is beyond imagination."
Wow. I figured most of the BW players didn't like SC2 much, but it really surprises me that they dislike SC2 to that extent. I wonder what'll happen if all of TBLS ends up retiring - would we get a reinvigorated BW scene?

Oh no .. Keep Flash in that stupid shit of a game. He'll just destroy the BW scene all over again. I remember a time when he was Bunker Rushing Best and that got thinking that he's destroying the game. -_-

Best of luck Bisu!!!!!!!!!!! One of the funnest and on-the-spot creative BW players to watch
|
Bisu was by far my favorite player and I always hoped he would return to dominance. I'll miss him, but on the other hand, watching him play BW will be (has been) great, and if he's happier there then I'm glad he's out of pro sc2.
|
fucking great interview, Bisu is honest about his relation to sc2 and of those that many players share. Welcome back to BW Bisu!
|
yesssssss yesss yessssss!
Please Bisu play the SSL!! OMG maaaaan pleeeeaaseeeeeeeee
Stork, Fantasy, Jaedong, Stats, I want them all back to BW too!
Flash can stay playing SC2, I don't care. >:-)

But Proleague rapidly loses fandom after transitioning into SC2. After less than a month, there were only half the fans coming to watch the games.
"Not only me, the other players felt this too. Seeing the emply stadium, the motives of playing just isn't there anymore. Without an audience in sight, we lose our meaning to play the matches."
A lot of people, including Bisu, were surprised by the declining of viewership. At first Bisu thought fans might come back slowly, but one day he realized they left for good. The players with the most fans like him, knows about this feeling more than anyone.
"Fans are leaving, what's the meaning of me stay here to play? I feel hollow in my heart, a feeling I never had during Brood War times, being a pro-gamer no longer ignites the fire in my heart."
Bisu came up with the thought of retiring near the end of the the season. He finally realized, the support of fans is what keeps him continuing his career.
This part is fucking gutwrenching to read. It makes me very bitter.
