BW elitists really hurt the game itself by having this ridiculous stance against sc2 and especially lotv. It is too bad that the community was polarized this badly and I really blame kespa for not making the switch earlier. 2011 should be the year of the switch. the last couple of osl's were pointless in my opinion. Everyone was super hyped for wol and the infrastructure was there but a huge opportunity was lost because the community was split in half and other games jumped to the oppotunity. Also the majority of the big names of bw got too old and tired 'til 2013, so they prefered to fool around in afreeca than putting hard work and be competitive in sc2. Whoever understood BW enough to get C level will never favor it over SC2 or I'd question his taste in strategy games in general. Sometimes the reason is so evident that we refuse to accept it. | ||

I'm just not an elitist who thinks BW is the only greatest thing ever and nothing can compare. Both have their faults, but I enjoy both a lot. Although my absolute favorite RTS would be age of empires  Enjoyable interview, wonder how much streaming Flash will do. | ||

I'm not looking at things with rose-colored glasses. BW is an amazing game. I abhor people who always claim nostalgia is responsible for this divide or criticism. It's the same deal with the Simpsons or even South Park. The first episodes were just better, just deal with it. | ||

of us gave SC2 an honest chance and preferred BW. Back in 2011 it became quite clear that the e-sports scene and playerbase had become a zero-sum game, a perception Blizzard heavily encouraged. So some hardcore fans resent a game they consider inferior that took 80% of their players and killed their tournament scene. I'm sure very few hardcore SC2 fans would be guilty of something like that right? | ||

What the point on dividing the community? You're giving a bad time to the people who did nothing wrong: the fans that have to read this trashtalk in almost every thread where SC2 and BW are mentioned, and the players that would like to be the scene more united. What's the purpose of keep feeding this hatred? You gain nothing by doing this and can potentially lose things. I do not understand  | ||

Maybe if Blizzard hadn't tried to actively kill the SC1 scene under the guise of "broadcasting rights" the games would have good relations. I still watch both pro scenes but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth to support Blizzard at all. | ||
