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? I don't think it's dislike as much as SCII changed what made them progamers, the cheer of the fans. That was their drive to improve their play but it wasn't there anymore after PL became only SCII. On October 01 2013 09:34 HawaiianPig wrote: This part is fucking gutwrenching to read. It makes me very bitter. I got goosebumps from reading it again It's still sad to think how much the Korean scene has changes since SCII's inception. | ||

It would be easy to suspect he's a glory hunter, but I think that's not really it at all. There's just a point at which you realise you don't really care about the games either. | ||

Laugh all you want! Not only that bisu is my crush and my idol but just like what he said bw died and the fans continue to decline. It's really saddening. I am also guilty about this. After sc2, i don't watch a lot of games already, it's not as fun as before. I miss the old days of glory of broodwar | ||

But yeah, I don't know what the hell all these KeSPA pros are doing not retiring. Anyone in KeSPA who liked SC2 would've switched early on. Soulkey, Sun/Rain, and Bogus/Innovation are at least winning things, but what are the rest of them doing but playing a game they don't like and can't get any results in? None of TLBS have managed to win a premier tournament, and no one anywhere cares about Proleague since Koreans don't like SC2 and foreigners don't like Supernovamaniac. Good for BW, I guess. I imagine SSL will continue to have slow growth, though if it gets a good English cast from an established SC2 name, BW's foreign scene could really take off compared to what it was pre-collapse. | ||

Im happy he retired, watching basically one if not the best proleague players of the past few years barely come out to play anymore, and get beaten up whenever he did was so depressing. Now I get to watch him play BW daily? Sounds like a deal to me, and I think a lot of people feel that way given the number of viewers whenever he is on stream. | ||

He's also made 2nd place at Dreamhack three times now if I recall correctly and almost won WCS AM and WCS Season 2 finals(lost to a terran both times ><). He's making a decent amount on top of his salary at EG and I wouldn't be surprised if he's going to stay for another year at least. Stork isn't doing that well tbh. He just got through Code A qualifiers for the first time and as for Flash, he makes RO16 then loses lol so who knows. | ||

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. Better words I could not hear. Bisu fighting! I just love watching his stream. I have so missed being disappointed I missed a Bisu game. | ||

I've only heard stories of his feats and have never seen a live game of his (I've watched plenty of vods  ) yet he is still a gaming idol of mine despite me missing his best years.PS I caught his snipealot games last weekend and MY GOD is he GOOD and HOLY SHIT is that game fun to watch even in 2013. After class, while im relaxing, or in the line at chipotle, Broodwar is the game I am watching on twitch.tv because I would love to see Bisu playing his protoss any day of the week | ||

Meta-breaking discovery But in seriousness that part about playing for the fans and the fans disappearing and all the people who switched just not loving it anymore was heartbreaking :'( I hope whatever TBLS decide on they find joy in their decision...also hoping Bisu gets back in his former shape soon so he can stomp all the SSLs and SRTs (okay maybe not stomp but at least win) | ||

Nor will I understand the amount of love his fans give him. But reading this makes me sad that I did miss out on the legends. That I will miss out on seeing Bisu and Stork and all the other BW players at the height of their prowess. That I won't ever experience the same level of community, and spirit, that made the BW era such a huge success. Thank you, Bisu, for your dedication to both Starcraft and to your fans. Also, thanks for the translation! mechanics. hes micro and macro are clean and crisp, hes screen transitions are smooth. bisu was also the pioneer for pvz, he understood dt tech better than anyone, the use of corsair/dt combo. | ||
