I hope that Bisu can pass down the baton to Rain for the next Protoss in line. That would keep the storyline interesting: - If you can be good at SC2, you can also be good at BW. - More SC2 guys might switch over like Innovation, sOs, etc. - Means more influcts of players. - Keeping the SKT line alive If BW can continue on for just 2 more years, we'll see amazing players coming back from the army/going to army to stream BW. I think if we can wait like couple of more years where the fans themselves are in prominent position in companies to start investing in BW again, that would be the ultimate dream for sure. I would not say that Bisu is really dominant seeing he has lost the two previous finals he was in. But overall he is the best player i agree. He was soooo very disappointed after losing the VNSL to effort. He did not even want to be a part of the second place ceremony because he was so angry I think that shows he still has a burning desire to win again. If think Flash would fear Effort just as much as Bisu. Rain is still in training to become great again. If the switch had not happened, Rain most certainly would have become one of the best in BW back in 2012. I'm also very happy kal is back. I think he must be very motivated to win a league, seeing he was one of the greatest protoss without a starleague win back in the kespa days. Many people think about games as an artform. Just like we wont stop being interested in the music or films of the past, why would we stop taking interest in legendary games? Sure the great majority of people are interested in the new and shiny, but that does not mean that there wont survive a rather large community devoted to a game like BW by people with a genuine interest of gaming and esport. BW made esport become what it is. BW is a RTS game with 6 different matchups with all completely different dynamics. Talk about diversity. BW is a game with a strong history. BW is a miracle. The last balancing patch was in early 2001. The history of the game has evolved through the collective effort of competive gamers. BW is to beautiful to just fade away to give room for the next 'fad' | ||

And having those players back WILL generate more interests in ACTUALLY going to Fish to maybe even face against the great and improve one's skills. Please be optimistic guys, this infighting is depressive....  I agree with this. With more players returning, the scene is gaining star value. Star value is what brought fangirls, players dreaming to be like Boxer, so on and so forth. In the past, you had to go through a grueling Courage tournament in order to even get a progamer license, had to be part of a proteam and live in a house with them and work on their schedule, which prevented players from having productive lives outside of the game. Now, the entry point is "be good." The best players get recognition, viewers, and balloons. They play and stream when they want. Of course personality plays a factor in this as well, but that's besides the point. I am saying all of this to illustrate the fact that now you don't have to put your IRL on hold, just dedicate more of your free time to practice. There is a much less convoluted, systematic, and prohibitive entry process for BW players to go big, thanks to afreeca. I think this might be a better foundation than the old system at aggregating new players. I was talking about this with someone just earlier today: I think that BW's resurgence is a testament to its timelessness and endurance. We've gone through the dark ages and are now on our second wind. There is no reason to not be optimistic about the future of BW. | ||

You know that it is Korea we are talking about, it is easier to get new players in BW than in SC2 by far. | ||

Should add that technologically Korea is really backwards. What good is 500/500 internet if you're using it to watch 2000kbps streams on IE8 and all your websites look like they're from the late 90s lol | ||

IE is still mandatory for banking transactions so they are forced to retain that. 2)only their older or mainstream/established sites. More and more sites are using the modern more minimalist look. "all your websites" is just silly generalization. | ||

I hope Fantasy turns in so wee could have on old school TvT with two players that didn't practice for a long time I don't think he'll crush everyonee but still. Seeing him pplay BW again bring so much nostalgia. Too bad i can't understand KR | ||
