If you watch the stream for more than 30 seconds you will notice it's a super laid back, almost HomeStory Cup type event. They invited people who were very well known (and high level at various points in time) in the community before SC2 and who will be remembered by people who stopped following BW when SC2 came out. Do you complain about BoxeR vs YellOw and NaDa vs Reach showmatches as well? | ||

If you wanna showcase how much this game has to offer, wouldn't you wanna have the best foreigners to show what it offers? | ||

If you wanna showcase how much this game has to offer, why not just invite FlaSh and EffOrt instead? At this point they are infinitely more known and recognizable to younger / newer fans due to KeSPA's stint in SC2. Whereas current foreign BW players are practically unknown to anyone who hasn't closely followed foreign BW specifically in the last few years. Not to mention we would not be able to get the same funny banter, recounting of great stories and general nostalgic feeling. | ||

Why wouldn't be do Koreans instead? Besides these old school players will bring a lot more views than the current top BW foreigners. | ||
