I mean he would have won 8+ titles easily without Jaedong. Using a tennis analogy, one can wonder whether Federer would have got so good had he never have to face Nadal. At least that makes the future of BW interesting. LOL Problem with that analogy is who cares about Federer and Nadal because Djokovic is greater whereas Flash was the greatest of bw | ||

Sc2 in korea has maybe 300k player every month. Not like bw in the millions at its peak but i suppose bw has similar or less players now. I mean think about it. Young people dont play bw. They play League of Legends. The old generation has more important things to do than gaming. I can just look at myself. I have a child and a lot of work to do in my job. I play maybe 1-2 hour a week, sometimes not even that. The numbers are only estimations. Blizzard has said 2mio join every month into bnet sc2. 100k ladder each in eu and na and 50k in korea and maybe 50k in china (rounded numbers). 2 mio / 300k *50k = 333k. Take a look at the viewership numbers for Starcraft 2 whether it is on television (OGN or SPOTV), or on streaming platforms such as Afreeca or DaumPot. It has been minuscule whichever way you cut it. Almost nobody plays it in internet cafes, and the numbers Blizzard releases does not coincide with actual reality of the situation. It is a relic of the past, with a niche following that is even smaller than the dying out viewership for Brood War. Of course, due the multiple constraints Brood War has in terms of getting sponsors, Starcraft 2 will be chosen over it, however, the viewer base has been force fed Starcraft 2, and the results were catastrophic, with the vast majority moving onto other games such as League of Legends or FIFA Online. So when players quit their professional careers for a more casual career as a streaming personality. You either have a choice, be with the times and play the 'it' games of today (neither Brood War nor Starcraft 2 makes the cut), or you play for a niche audience, in which case Starcraft 2 is a substantially worse option than Brood War due to the negligible presence it has on streaming platforms. Kids of today don't play Brood War, but they do know who Bisu and Terror is due to their popularity on Afreeca. | ||

Wait a second... 2nd season? the National StarLeague was season 1 that was supposed to happen in the first half of the year? I thought that there are two more seasons this year other than the National StarLeague that concluded on 23rd Jan? Did I get it wrong or something? | ||

No matter how League or Sudden Attack or any other game does or how much bigger they are, Brood War will never die. Not in the next 20 years. Don't believe me? It's already 18 years old and has never gone below top 5 most played PC bang game. In fact, it's gone up from 5th to 4th after the region lock. | ||
