Honestly, I find it absurd how sponsors can ignore ratings + crowd turnouts such as this. BW is FAR from dead as far as popularity and viewership goes. And really, viewership = money. Damnit, sponsors, grow a frickin' brain!

yeah i don't get it..
wHY
?!!?

someone please tell me

they have to show the sponsors how epic the BW crowds are T_T

I wish Last Brood War would've gone out with something less anti-climactic than a reaver drop and a DT rush... but I guess it's a fitting homage to the noob days of 1998.

Nobody can say this finals was fun or a good way to end BW. This finals does not symbolize anything BW has been over the last greatest years. It should have been Flash vs Jaedong.

I will give you my 100th post for glory.

This is what made BW a superior Esport to anything else to ever come to the face of this world, today, RTS dies. You want to compare BW to any other game, you can't, simply see the amount of people in there, you think that is big, think of how many more could not even get in. Think that their entire country is now watching this in live TV, along with the rest of the world through various streams, and then realize this will never happen again. Because no other game will ever match the depth and entertainment value of Broodwar.

To my last post on this site, I will drink tonight, a toast for the greatness and glory of the best game and gaming community in the world, for you Jangbi and this victory, for all the wonderful moments that I lived thanks to you Broodwar, will never be forgotten, the joy that was brought to my life, all those hours of wonderful and amazing games. For your last day.

lol wow that's more then a bit ridiculous. With the technological advances and new games coming out all the time it is highly likely that someday(whether or not it is SC2 or even LoL) will end up with this level of a finale tournament. Sc2 has had some big crowds and has a long life ahead of it. Heck maybe SC3 will be your new BW
