Comedy 469 Posts January 18 2024 20:37 GMT #22 the same reason some guy copy pastes the same message 7 times I suppose On topic : I always thought Team Liquid would organise something for the launcher of remastered. Now we're 7 years later, and while BW is very much alive in Korea and thriving, the foreign scene has been barren besides BSL. Pretty cool though that there's 2 lans being organised in NA, and there's a big tour in peru too. The time to organise things was in 2017 with the launch, when a lot of guys came back to the game, and activity was high. Better late than never, though

Baamze 17 Posts January 18 2024 21:12 GMT #23 I'm somewhat interested but I got in to BW in 2020 so I don't really know or care about the foreign players in the way a lot of you that kind of "grew up" with them do. So what I miss is seeing new players but also seeing any of the players' personalities and getting to know them. Getting to know a player is what can make me root for them, I don't really root or care for any of them, if that makes sense.

I don't get AF about nationality I just want to watch the best games. If foreigners were integrated into the same scene as koreans and playing on their level that would be awesome but unfortunately that's not the case and probably never will be. edit - maybe as the kespa-era players retire and a more amateur-tier rank of players replace them (and the scene doesn't die out) in like 5-10 years, foreigners who keep up their skills will probably be a lot more on their level. But foreigners (and seemingly all amateur koreans as well) can't touch the top 20-30 players in korea that play in proleague/kleague/ASL. All of whom except for like 3 or 4 were former kespa players I think.

M3t4PhYzX Poland4290 Posts January 19 2024 12:31 GMT #29 very interested especially if it would be something like another BW TSL with proper intro, insane (for BW) production value, etc give me a good format, nice map pool and I'm in

RJBTVYOUTUBE Netherlands1325 Posts January 19 2024 13:05 GMT #31 somewhat neutral. foreign talent pool lacks depth which makes a lot of games conceptually a lot less interesting. Build orders, strategies, optimizations and decision making tends to be not as interesting as Korean play. I would love to see the foreign scene catch up and be able to compete. But currently the level of the very few best is not yet where it would be more interesting enough for me. And in part that is because there is only a limited amount of available time. There is Ultimate Battle, KCM, Proleague, sponmatches on a daily basis to follow. Then there are Major tournaments here and there happening inbetween the ASLs. And lastly there is ASL. With everything going on I dont have the time to also folow foreign events.

Freezard Sweden1031 Posts January 19 2024 14:06 GMT #32 Extremely disinterested. For me the foreign scene is more of an amateur league and I have never really watched it. In general I just watch the top leagues and that's the same with every sport. Also the foreign tournaments are nowhere close to ASL in terms of production value, prize money, casters, and having the matches offline which is a must for me. Without a high budget and community demand this is going to be impossible to achieve, and the scene isn't that big unfortunately. However I did love the WCG tournaments if those count.

G5 United States2921 Posts January 19 2024 14:42 GMT #33 I'd be lying if I said I'm super into foreign BW. I sometimes watch friend's Twitch streams or a random foreigner's stream if there's nothing else going on but that's honestly about it. On the other hand, I watch every single ASL game (minus TvT's), Korean pro streams, Artosis and Tasteless casts of pro's ladder games, etc. Korean SC is just so much better imo. It's like how I'm into pro sports but can't watch college. It's such a different level, I can't really get into it.

earob84 Germany189 Posts January 19 2024 14:56 GMT #34 Im also very interested! Also since BSL managed to connect with the chinese scene. So many nice sponsored games between Dewalt and Mihu in the last days. Sure ASL tops everything but still very interested

LML Germany1798 Posts January 19 2024 20:35 GMT #36 I pretty much only watch and have always mostly watched foreign BW.

HerbMon United States472 Posts January 19 2024 22:06 GMT #37 Korean BW will always be top, but watching foreign BW brings a level of community engagement that is appreciated and gives people the spotlight they deserve.

iRkSupperman Norway140 Posts January 19 2024 23:32 GMT #38 Foreign BW is fun when watching players you can relate to, interact with, and connect with. Ideally on not awful ping, but can't always have that when the same community is spread across three continents. Laggy matchups against players who don't interact with the scene, who have their own active full-time scene and sponsors (which mostly refuses entry to foreign players btw), and is now jumping in to grab a piece of the already tiny foreigner prize pool? Less interesting. (See the last few years of foreign BW events) Then I'd rather spend my time watching ASL or Proleague.

RKC 2848 Posts January 20 2024 14:45 GMT #39 Sorry, zero interest. As much as I love BW, I rather spend my limited precious time watching KR Proleague or ladder matches (uploaded on Artosis or Tasteless channels).

HornyHerring Papua New Guinea1059 Posts January 20 2024 14:52 GMT #40 0 interest in BW in general
