does it really though, back then during WGT foreigners were a lot more active than on PGT and iccup where it was a mix of koreans and foreigners, the language barrier makes it a lot more boring since you dont even get to discuss the games with your opponents, you just play and review the replays by yourself, very hard to stay motivated

Now that everyone is gathered here: TL, please host a new BW TSL!!! Too busy focusing on the future of ESPORTS, Civ 6. Speaking of, whatever happened to that browser RTS day[9] was working on with artillery games?
It got cancelled. There is a thread on it in the "Other games" section here on TL.

I also think you'll easily be able to differentiate between the genuine Brood War enthusiasts like Day[9], incontrol, hell even myself, from the random youtuber that pops up and makes one SC: Remastered video in his fake ass youtube broadcaster voice and then disappears xD
Lol.

I mean you can't really fault him for calling himself an enthusiast :D, hes just saying that he's a fan of the game.
Way different than actually saying he's good at BW

Aw, how frustrating are the moral absolutists everywhere. Day9 quit BW material and jumped into more lucrative areas. Wow, a huge surprise there, to quit a hobby in order to make cash. What did you expect? Have you made an attempt at a video? It's like hours of production for a couple of minutes of product. To do that for no revenue, I'm amazed he kept doing them BW videos for so long.
Day9 has been a corner stone for foreigner BW content for years and years. His passion, contributions, insight and dedication for the game are absolutely undeniable.
Instead of rejoicing that his awesome mind is back on the BW topic people criticize him for quitting BW back in the day... I don't understand this, I really don't. And most bothering is that it's people that no one has heard of or people that have never ever done something productive for the BW community. I myself am a damn leech, I just watch and play but I am so happy Day9 is back. I hope he continues to do BW content, it's deep and fun and full of secrets, even after years of playing this, there is so much to learn from people like him.

My interest in watching foreigners play BW is on the same level as my interest in watching Jamaica compete in the Winter Olympics. It's a funny novelty, nothing more.
We suck, get over it.

Thats your opinion... Not everyone shares it. For instance, my interest in BW or even SC2 basically hinges on foreigner success.. I quit SC2 in 2013, and since then I only really watch it when I hear a foreigner is getting far in a tournement; or Scarlett in Korea competing in GSL/etc. For BW, last time I truly followed it was TSL's. Koreans are so robotic its pretty boring to me, I want to see some drastically different styles. Watching F91 or Sen play BW zerg was the last time I was really into the game. Sorry not sorry.

For me, foreign players vs the pros have been some of the hypest sets ever. Sziky vs Pusan was more exciting than most of the recent ASL matches imo.

I played Brood War since back when PGTour was a thing and since the very beginning during the prehistoric era where everyone played on hunters and people in public games would tell you "vultures are bad wtf why are you fuckin building vultures."
