Because Sc2 really hurt/almost killed the foreign scene and everyone followed the hype of sc2 naturally.
This will possibly revive bw back to it's glory days, hence we are back. I even found recent Mongragon and Strelock replays from iccup, what does that tell you. They haven't played in years.
A resurgence is coming. Also I don' think key bindings will "break" the game as others suggested. The idiosyncrasies and pathfinding is what makes broodwar amazing. Removing these elements or expanding control groups would break the beautiful balance. I would not expect any non BW vets to understand that. It's like suggesting we change chess. It's already perfect.
Lets be honest this is going to bring the old school broodwar players back and koreans. Might be some SC2 people dabbling in but they will soon die off and the true fans will remain.

It'll arguably be on B.net 2.0 if you consider that to be the current Blizzard launcher with connection to your B.net 2.0 friends list, but looks like they're maintaining core B.net 1.0 aesthetics and features such as chat channels and named custom games and lobbies. And somehow it'll be connected to B.net 1.0 considering they want cross-game compatibility with the original BW.

I'd consider that 2.0 Stoked for that honestly.
I mostly define 2.0 as being able to see my friends list if I'm on WoW, and 1.0 as being able to see my friends list if on Diablo 2.

In that case, it's definitely 2.0. Hopefully D2 and WC3 will eventually get their turns to join us in the 2.0 friends list and launcher.

Honestly, I loved BW, but SC2 was the most fun I have ever had in a game to date. I think as with a lot of people, SC2 just stopped being special somewhere around when HotS came out. Since then I've wanted so badly to get back into BW, but there wasn't much incentive. The current ladder system isn't very friendly to new(er) players.
A new game - Blizzard-run ladder? Updated campaign? It's the game I've been longing for, but Blizzard just made it accessible. I can't wait.
Looks very clean. I'll play that. Yeah BW was great, though i liken it to watching old anime or cartoons where the mouths move so incorrectly..i know its great but i just can't do it anymore. My mind has seen better, and to go back i can't not ocd about it.
This makes me far more interested than i thought id be.
Very exciting news. I wonder if this will raise the scene even more in Korea. There was a rumor they would be doing this for D2 as well. I hope is true.
For years I was thinking how this could be possible thinking people would not mind paying for something like this. I hope Blizz finds a way to get some micro transactions going just to get them interested in further promoting this game and even an esports scene abroad. RTS is practically dead to devs since it's really tough to compete with other game's profitability. Millenials will play any game as long as it's marketed the right way
God it is so hard to enjoy Starcraft with worker genocide every game... killing workers is so amazing to watch. David Kim could really do a number on SC1.
EPT
Stoked for that honestly.
