Remastered was a huge blow to Korean scene tbh. May be on back to recovery now but it did more damage than harm as early bugs and problem drove viewers and streamers away from bw as it was nigh impossible for some streamers to do group clan wars that attracted lot of viewers for lesser streamers. The group clan wars created ecosystem where big streamers were able to spread viewers and donation around to lesser streamers and encouraged organic growth. But with that not being available for few months due to bad lag, a lot of smaller streamers suffered, and took this opportunity to "branch out". And now with whole remastered problem with tournament, Koreans are growing with resentment at this point to blizzard when BW realistically is on last legs and blizzard is hampering even the last real generation before all ex pros retire While I do not at all doubt blizzard's intention with SCR, the handling of esports section has been very very poor. | ||

Regarding speculation that Blizzard is planning its own league, I hope you can understand why many of us are not hopeful for that. The typical business reason for game companies hosting their own leagues is to sell copies of their game or merchandise associated with it. As broodwar players, many of us already spent the first $15 in years to play the game we like when SCR comes out. I'd much rather competitions be run independently by companies like Afreeca, who profit from streamers of BW, than for us to depend on our enjoyment of BW aligning with Blizzard's current business interests. | ||

Or are they just not supporting the game financially in any way shape or form to the point it will die? Please, the answer is obvious. Blizzard never changed. It is the same involvement when they announced SC2. Suddenly they were interested in the BW scene. Is it still possible to refund SCR? I want nothing to do with this crap of a company. | ||

Thank you for clearing that for me, you must be a special one and deserve a medal but I think I run out of them, will some cookies make you happy? I don't fucking still get why SC2 ppl come here and start shitting. I'm sure if Blizz will completely erase this game from universe they still will continue sucking their dick. It's like they're dancing on grave. | ||

There are organizers, willing to host a big tournament with a lot of pize money. There are professional players, eager to compete in any kind of competition. There are fans/viewers all around the world who are still passionate about this game. Why exactly should we move on? | ||
