That's not what he means. I think it's awesome they returned and I hope that it's permanent. If they replace us permanently as casters for next NSL, then that's totally cool. It's the fact that xkcd and i were hired for a job and didn't get to see it through on our own. We were the first SC1 paid casters since SC2 was released and it took a lot of commitment from so many people to get us to this point.We worked hard to be where we are in a very small community that we love and are just very proud. | ||

I give you my respect Bisudagger. I think you and xkcd have done a great job and i hope you gentlemen continue commentating BW leagues. I will definitivily watch both casts seeing as we have come this far together and i want to find out how the story ends. Beginning with the bronze match on the 21st! Can Sharp get his first ever medal?? | ||

But they haven't announced anything close to that happening. Yes BW died because SC2 was released. Also because BW foreign scene had almost no competitive tournaments left except teamliquids own tournament. Which affects every pro player to play this game. No money no motivation anymore. The thing that made BW so good even before the money came to the scene was that people played it with passion/love for the game. StarCraft2 never had that because it started with tournament winnings/salaries and streaming. The passion is not there anymore for people who played BW. The only reason pros would pick BW over any popular game these days if the game was PUMPED with money and tournaments offline/online and companies supporting . I can't see that happening at all. And another type of BW coming out wont happen either, I'm pretty sure of that. And i think i read some statement from the blizzard employees that it wont. I'm not 100% sure of this but I think I've seen it somewhere before SC2 came out. People still love BW and plays it occasionally under smurf nicks. Blizz wouldn't make BW: HD because it would take attention away from SC2 where they have already invested quite a lot of money and marketing. It's the same reason they don't give the BW scene attention now because it could be harmful to their SC2 scene and with how easy it is to pirate BW and start playing iCCUP they could kill SC2 (even more than already have). It's a shame that SC2 and BW can't exist competitively like Melee and Smash 4 do. Smash 4 is for a newer and more casual audience while Melee is for a more hardcore and older audience. Smash 4 has no longevity and I'm sure it will be dead long before Melee simply because it's nowhere as deep and I'm afraid that SC2 will probably suffer the same fate no matter what Blizzard does. The best we can hope for BW is that Korea continues to support it and the small foreign scene continues to be interested. | ||

For so many years they couldnt even fix the official b.net server, so people cannot host or join without waiting minutes, or create games without port forwarding. Also the licensing fees on OGN I think Blizz is slowly giving up though. I think they definitely broke even for their money and marketing team for SC2. Their esport department focuses more on that card game and TF2 ripoff. | ||

I think I prefer it this way  http://afreeca.tv/36855042/v/20953 Watching now, you can seriously tell Tasteless was having way more fun doing this compared to when he casts SC2. It's like watching a different person entirely. Totaly agree, I rarely watch Sc2 but when I'm watching it,I feel like Tasteless dont realy care of the game anymore. It was a pleasure yesterday to hear someone so passionate about Brood War. I'm so hyped for saturday *_*, keep up this good work Tastosis ! | ||

The key is still that they brought it to twitch imo. https://twitter.com/CallMeTasteless/status/689124701424250880 I'm sure more than 10k will watch for the final. Yeah, I was glad I could watch in on twitch. Are they going to cast the bronze match? Any info about that? | ||
