If day would do a daily for BW i think a lot of people would try it out, even more so if he does funday monday and stuff liek that. Obviously a lot of people wouldn't stay, but better than nothing. | ||

It depends on SSL and GSL to succeed in order to garner more interests toward the game. Now its not the time to get historical but put aside our past differences into a coffin or instead it will the game we cherish the most inside. Whatever happens with the game, I love it too much and plan on sticking it to it the same way I always have. And I'm more then eager to get back to casting in the near future. Those who have been around through thick and thin are the ones I'm grateful for and hope they will never fade because I won't. But that being said, if any of the people who transitioned return I will most definitely welcome them. Everyone should be blessed with Brood War in their life. | ||

The vast majority of gamers are incredibly fickle. They need some personality telling them what is good, especially when it comes to "esports". | ||

If this tournament indeed gives opportunity for Tastosis etc. to re-cast the Brood War, it should be pretty interesting guage of how they feel about the game after so much years. | ||

I myself would have switched to casting whatever game necessary to keep food on the table. Remember all Korean casters switched to other games as well - their passion for Brood War is plenty obvious but they did what professionals are expected to do and nobody calls them out on it. If this tournament indeed gives opportunity for Tastosis etc. to re-cast the Brood War, it should be pretty interesting guage of how they feel about the game after so much years. this. I think you guys are being too hasty about 'I would only cast BW and nothing else' and not considering the reality of the situation. You need to look at it from an objective point of view. Do you think it would be feasible for anyone casting BW and relying on it for income to continue casting it even with everything switching to SCII such that the income they were relying on becomes non-existent? In other words, if there's no money involved in the scene and that was your only source of income, it would be difficult to survive on that. Can they cast BW on the side? well, yes of course but that's up to them(unless something in their contracts says otherwise(would be bizzare then lol)). As a caster, you have to be ready to move with the times and to the next game. That doesn't necessarily mean that you lost your passion for your previous game but if you want to be able to survive, it's a necessity imo. | ||
