 a pro-scene without Bisu just feels weird after all these years; sure I didn't like him as much as Reach or Yellow or Nada or Boxer, but a quarter of TBLS being gone is just... strange. Anyway, luckily for Bisu he still has tons of fans who will watch him play BW, so maybe he can once again taste some of the joy he once experienced  | ||

Good thing he has too ;D I don't think Best is competing anymore, he said he'd be in the military sometime late Sept, it's Oct now. | ||

If things keep going back to where it is (old bw pros) coming back to the scene and there is an interest to restart small tournaments like the msl then I can see bw returning small but not big not in a sense like it will be that big like it used to be when it was at highest popularity. | ||

I didn't know this kind of ill wishing was tolerated in this community. Well, wishing pros to retire isn't exactly ill wishing when that way they get to do what they want to do(assuming they really don't like playing sc2 professionally anymore like Bisu is saying) and get more from donations, compared to the slave life of doing something they don't like 24/7 for little pay. Wishing them not to retire is ill wishing. | ||

Why do you call the MSL small?  | ||

yeah .. GOM would be a better comparison. I forgot what the league was called. It's the league that most proteams declined to play their tournaments to focus on other leagues. That league where we saw Idra played I think. | ||

It's not a failure if it isn't as huge as broodwar was at its peak. Starcraft 2 is big globally but just not at the level BW was in Korea. MOBA is the next big thing, resulting in Proleague shifting towards LoL more. Most of the people wanting someone to retire is for selfish reasons (wanting them to play bw again), not because they are heartbroken how they suffer from playing this rotten ridiculous game called sc2. | ||

We don't like it when our beloved player plays a game they don't like. We don't like it when we know they've worked so hard to be on the A-team just to play a sequel when the fans that support the scene doesn't like. We don't like it when they're being forced to play a game they didn't have passion for it. | ||

"Starcraft 2 is a terrible game". We all knew this day was coming. But I don't blame blizzard(well them too). I blame the people for playing sc2 and thinking the game is gonna get better. 95% of people switched to sc2 and left brood war because the pro players switched too but the pro's is about the money, but we amateurs is about the fun and sc2 is no fun. I forget how many times I dreamed to go to korea and meet bisu or to go to watch a proleague match. I think I never hated a game so much like sc2. I can only dream people backing to bw and ogn and the teams switching back to bw to. And I'm very happy with bisu decision. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Considering the boost Starcrap2 got by killing BW and devouring its carcass, robbing its infrastructure, i would call it a failure, or at least a disappointment to most every1. I don't know why people think otherwise, but obviously people who loved BW hoped for nothing more than SC2 to be good. Well it wasn't. U say "SC2 is big globally", but going from my modest sample size: I used to have loads of friends playing SC2, every single one of them stopped, 2 bought HotS for the Campaign. 100% of the people i know quit playing it, rather quickly too. So there. | ||
