EPTThat said, as someone who prefers BW to watch, people forget the huge increase in foreign interest SC2 brought. To expect guys like Tasteless in Artosis to not grasp an opportunity to actually start earning a bit closer to what their talents merit is ridiculous.

This really isn't lying in my opinion, since it's clearly just a hype thing or whatever.  As for the "best game ever" thing, Tasteless and Artosis have, for the longest time since SC2 came out, been using the term "Starcraft" to say things like "Starcraft is like a sport in Korea" or "Starcraft is the hardest game ever" and with that viewed both BW and SC2 as one big thing (or at least presented it as one), maybe in order to pass over some of BW's legitimacy onto SC2. Best example for that were the first 1 or 2 episodes of Sons of Starcraft. I'm sure in this sub I'm far from being the only one who's somewhat irritated by the lack of differentiation (is that the word?) that gets presented to the average SC2 viewer, but w/e. yeah and its this over top hyping that i didn't like. I mean ofc i want a caster to be passionate about the game, but i dislike it when its faked. And yeah Tastosis kept referring to "Starcraft" as one entity. No differentiation made. To me, this is very annoying, because it implies BW is something from the past, part of a legacy and not an esport that is played in the present. But i did consider your point and agree that calling this behavior lying is to harsh. It's hyperbole hyping which appears, at least to me, dishonest. @ Wombat: i didn't expect Tastosis to walk away from Sc2. But i would've preferred it if they left out the "oh this is the best esport ever" hyperbole crap. | ||

 On a side note, it's been a while since I saw Tasteless (and even Artosis) commentating any SC2 games or doing anything lately. Maybe that's because I'm so out of touch with the community, but can anyone enlight me on this ? I'd like to know what these guys have been up to these past few months. | ||

To be honest this is the way it happens in my head. I played BW alot, probably will always "prefer" it. But definitely watched and played the shit out of SC2 and still do when I have time. But to me they are both Starcraft. I just really hate how this is even an issue in general (and in this thread, I know...I'm not helping). I think of us all as 1 big "Starcraft" community and it makes me sad that alot of people don't feel that way. | ||

However, for me for a number of reasons, i don't feel that way and i draw a clear distinction between sc2 and BW. Let's just say there is a reason i left Sc2 for good. | ||
