We make it what the scene [currently] is. Not WCG! We are the fans, they are a buisness - remember that. If you enjoy what you do, you'd see that. | ||

Most threads like this come from people who were really into Starcraft, but are finally seeing their tastes change. If you're not already stopping your 'heavy involvement,' I wager that you will within the year. Don't worry, you won't be gone for long, they almost never are. But it'll be different. Instead of taking the game seriously, you'll appreciate that others take the game seriously so you don't have to. See you on my side in a bit, Xeris. Starcraft will be waiting just like it always has been. Nah, I'm not going anywhere. | ||

Nice read up, a bit expected during these times. I'm not really sure if SC2 revived SC a little or actually killed it more. It did bring back many old players hoping to get good before SC2 comes out, but it does also almost guarantee that most of not all of these players will switch to SC2. | ||

And if someday BW die in Skorea, that will be the day i know im not playing games anymore but that is another story exit music (for a film) would have been a much better choice | ||

For some time, gg.net and wgtour has really cut down on the coverages...I personally don't feel the urge to visit these sites anymore cuz well, there's nothing new! I hope for some kind of "revival" with lots of foreign scene activities. TSL was great, the thing that artosis and skew did (not sure what the name was...tot moment..) was also very great (I showed it to some of my friends and students I teach, and they were all amazed by it. go sc :D and sc2 | ||

Wgtour barely updates their news, and GG.net has been REALLY slow in putting out news. I mean their shit is good , but the same shit is up there for a lot longer then it used to. I remember a few years back if I didn't check it for a few days I had to scroll all the way down to catch everything I missed. It's definitely not as active as it used to be. | ||

once korea becomes more recognized among the foreign population progamming i believe will start to pick up again... well it's just culturally i think all those krn kids forced into studying needed some kind of gap they go break through and i think sc w/ progamming was just taht and as good krns they saw money in it and it turned into a pro scene u now see today i feel like this could never be 100% achieved in others places because of the cultural difference... just like how korea plays basketball but it's not as wide as american basketball... so even if it does become an institution it won't grow like that way you see it grow in korea. | ||

Base on this reasoning, There are two ways in which to prevent starcraft from dying. 1) get those older player huge amount of money that they can't refuse to continue playing so we keep our existing player population.(not happening) 2) A lot of Advertisement for starcraft tournments on USA national TV, So starcraft can be viewed as the elite of the elite competitive esport event in the world, it will get new people interested in starcraft. Which also require some billionaire who loves the game enough to intentionally lose few hundred million dollars to keep the game alive. (ELkY????) My view on this matter is that as long as we still have a community the game is alive, and guess what, this same community is going to be playing starcraft2, and starcraft2 will attract so many new people. If this community have some influence over these new people the community will grow. And maybe blizzard will act upon this opportunity and create media attention by televising starcraft2 on national TV, and we will have what we all wanted, progamming becoming mainstream of entertainment. That's just my wishful thinking, but all joking aside I have great hope for SC2. PS. I used to play world of warcraft with the team leader of light, i wonder if OP is in fact the person i used to play wow with ^^ | ||
