Rumors, about SoulKey are gone as he said himself many times in stream he likes to play SC2. I love the idea of LoveTV with big prizemoney and there should be cups like that for more oldschool games (original quake 3,WarCraft 3, DotA 1 or CS1.6), but it's nothing else than few shots and I can safely say that no revival will happen. All of the guys are playing it because of nostalgy,memories and fact that they can meet with some of the retired players (TT1,HayprO etc...) It is not a hate,regardless Im already pissed of those guys who are going around koreans SC2 streams and constantly spamming come back to BW!... BW era is done its more like good old game to play (:... Just accept the fact even if smthing like that happen u never get a constant profitable models to attract sponsors in EU and NA  | ||

I really like BW, but some people who post in these forums, srsly... No wonder a lot of sc2 people who would maybe be interested in BW never give it a real shot when there is bs like that post representing the community (for example on reddit) | ||

and what broodwar2.0 says is true, In KR sc2 barely registers any blip in popularity when games like LoL, sudden attack and even BW constantly far exceeds sc2 in PCbang rankings. there are korean people who have lived through the golden era of BW willing to donate shitton of money to ex-pros to stream and showcase great games. I doubt you can say the same for sc2 15 years after its final expansion release. young people nowadays would play sc2 first and think its the greatest RTS ever despite never touching or playing brood war once with ignorant sentiments like "old ded game", "ugly graphics" etc. its only natural for BW fans would want to lambast ignorant kids like these, but almost all don't out of mature restraint. | ||

He says "nobody watches sc2 in korea", that is just a retarded thing to say when numbers got better for the last proleague season and the gsl is more packed too. Nobody says the numbers are as great as the BW numbers were, but it is simply ignorant to say that sc2 has no viewers in korea when we can clearly see that this is not true. despite never touching or playing brood war once with ignorant sentiments like "old ded game", "ugly graphics" etc. its only natural for BW fans would want to lambast ignorant kids like these, but almost all don't out of mature restraint. Yeah sure, the reality is a little bit different though. There is literally no thread about a sc2 player retiring where no "bw elitist" feels the need to post some passive aggressive stuff. You make it look like it is the other way around, but that couldn't be further from reality imo. I just don't understand the need to shit on another community really, i mean i hope for BW to get big again too, that doesn't mean that i pray for sc2 to die though... | ||

In its golden era BW was a much more popular game than SC2 can ever hope to be, BW does not just reach LoL levels of popularity but its also the game every gamer in korea plays and talks about, almost like a culture even. nobody wants to shit on another community, but when you have an sc2 fan posting flame inciting comments with his own passive aggressive (:, someone is bound to say something. | ||

Rather than complain 'oh they do it it to' take the high ground and stop posting crap where it's not warranted, it's pretty simple. Some people only know Soulkey through SC2, of course they're going to want him go stick around in their game. | ||

Yeah and because they only have experience with SC2 they also do not know that soulkey have spent substantial years in BW too and was essentially one of the A teamers for Woongjin and demonstrated potential to be one of the top Zergs in BW if not for the sc2 switch. Thats why there are people clamoring for him to come back to BW, where his roots are. | ||

I would quite like to see him make the switch myself, just I don't see it as productive for fans of either game to be bashing the respective title is all. | ||
