A mix between sc1 and 2.. Another clueless fan on the pathing and engine. The pathing is what makes BW special. SC2 actually has unreal pathing. No army moves smooth like that and would break BW in terms of balance. Also, BW is FARRRR more popular than sc2 at this point. Peak viewership for bw is on par with that of CS GO Nope, its the unit size that makes it different from sc2. In sc2 the units are so small that they move like a school of fish
Pretty sure it is both : P

Viewership for bw is that high??? I suppose you are using numbers from Afreeca ?_?

people still love heroes 3 and tons of old games have their own fans on different bootleg servers e.g. gameranger
Broodwar will be here as long as afreeca, twitch, and youtube exists
dudtube plays only hunters 3v3 on a high level but he's got a huge following lol.

Ofc it is, BW >>>> SC2 in Korea. Not only ASL channel, but other streamers restreams get sometimes 30K something. There was even graphs on old topics, at one time it was close to 200K all combined.

BW will most likely still be played for decades but in terms of how popular it is today with the general population and especially younger kids, AND taking into account simply how often it's currently played, it can appropriately be deemed a "dead game". It's a lovely, fun, and influential game that cause tremendous waves in gaming and propelled the early eSports industry into what it is today. However, with all of that said, it will never be a top game again and it'll continue a decline year after year. People that love the game, like I do, hate hearing that but it's true.
Let's put it this way. When the absolute largest foreigner tournament can't garner more viewers than the average streamer girl that just throws on a bikini and turns on her stream regularly, it's not a popular game anymore. The only country it's pretty popular in anymore is South Korea. The rest of the world simply doesn't care about it and has moved on.
Honestly that's all okay though. If you love the game, hop on and play. Nothing is stopping you from enjoying the game. Just don't be delusional that it's going to grow into what it used to be or that people are suddenly going to care about it again because it won't grow into something massive and the gaming community generally doesn't care about it anymore.
I been saying this for years now and people are nostalgic about it

BW will die when youngest current KeSPA player will retire, even though we got amateurs rising to back it up. My only worry is how long ASL is going to keep seasons running.
We had good resurgency when Sonic backed up, kudos to him and saved post KeSPA era, then Afreeca saved it and then Remastered happened but it was 5 years ago. We need something new to bring the life back to the game.
How about SC3, but with BW like graphics. ^^

I would worry more about me being alive in 20 years than BW being alive.
If you want more players get ur friends and family to play.
Many people tell me "none of my friends play or like BW".. To that I say, try harder or find new friends AND family!
The global human population will reach 8.0 billion in mid-November 2022. So don't tell me there are no ppl who could be playing...

Well if you base BW as your family then something is wrong. Its still a game and it shouldnt come before your real family.
BW is a hobby and you have to conform to that.

I don't think that's right. You can find family with whatever. And blood family can be awful at times.
Granted like, finding family with Brood War seems like itd be hard nowadays because of the lack of real-person interaction outside of Korea.

I agree. Ive met the coolest mfkers on this game. Literally most loyal, friendly humans ive ever met are from SC. Ive legit met people who i consider family in sc community.

after I saw someone say they live and die for this game I sort of accepted that there is a religious sentiment towards the game.
