Its a question that I've been wondering for a while. What if say SC2 became as big as SC is in the pro-scene today with live matches, OSL, MSL and proleague altogether for SC2?

EDIT: I guess famous isn't the right word. I'm saying something like as renowned as SC is today.

Poll: Would you..
(Vote): Still play SC:BW hardcore but playing SC2 just for fun?
(Vote): Go hardcore SC2 and play BW a little?
(Vote): Strike a balance between both?

Popularity and size of the pro scene will have nothing to do with it. The way I divide my time between BW and SC2 will be based on how much I like it.

cs 1.6 vs cs:source imo.

Both will co-exist, the latter will get more exposure in competition, the old will still be around but not as much public sponsorship.

if sc2 is as good as sc:bw, then everyone will play it. If not...then lots of bad things will happen.

A good portion of the reason why I play BW is because I have a competitive pro scene to follow as well. It'll depend for me on the pro scene. If BW still flourishes and they do NOT pick up SC2, then I will stick to BW. The vice versa is true as well.

SC2 will be good enough to play, no doubt. And that is where everyone will be playing and where all the tournaments will be so.. SC2 hardcore > sc:bw for fun

I believe the foreign scene will become as strong as the 1.6 scene is right now, with WC3 players making a transition to SC2 and major gaming orgas picking up SC2 teams (SK-gaming,fnatic, MYM, creating a massive fanbase.

The korean scene i have no idea about, isn't it up to kespa if they want to make the change given the game is good enough? I dont believe the teams/individual players have much say if kespa decides to switch track.

Nickelback is more popular than Ensiferum.

So I guess, it depends on why it's more popular. Because it's easy as #@!$ and all the casuals are loving the new zero clutter maps? Or because it's balanced, extremely fun to watch competitive pro gaming equal to that of its predecessor, or because the skill gap isn't narrowed so Starcraft still remiains easytolearn/impossibletomaster?

All of the foreign top teams are going to switch to SC2 and will thus cause all the top foreign tournaments to dump WC3/SC and move to SC2.
Inside Korea though? Who knows.

I think we will come to embrace the game called "starcraft 2"

The thing is we should all stop for a moment, think clearly that starcraft 2 is a new game to master. She's a new love that we have found because the former is having a great relationship with her korean boyfriends.

Ok, I'll go hardcore on sc2 and play sc:bw for fun
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

The game isn't even done yet. SC:BW was as accident. Will lightening strike twice? Probably not. Perhaps it will be better than the WC3 scene, but probably not more than that.

Obviously dependent on the quality of the game...... If it achieved the same status as BW, it could either be because of the money driving it, the quality of the game, or both. If it's just the money driving it, I will play BW.

how do you define famous?
competitively and progaming wise, or like, just everyone ends up playing it because its addictive/cool (like WoW)

this came to my mind.

so we have the wc3 which in turn created dota to still become successful. (now all people are knows dota, even my girl plays with)

As per said by developers that the previous units from sc:bw will still be in the SC2.

Therefore, if someone kind soul will be so gracious enough to create a SC:BW inside SC2 in order for our beloved SC:BW players to transition themselves to because in the modified version of SC2, we have our beloved SC:BW which has the same mechanics same units same everything (well, I hope it doesn't have the MBS because it is SC:BW inside SC2) except that is beautifully drawn since it uses the SC2 engine.

Is this a good idea or just plain bad!? I will create a thread like this on the SC2 Index if no one has.
