We need new maps.
We need ex pros back - Jangi, Fantasy, Jaedong, +++
We need current sc2 pros who used to play BW and not used to play switch BW.
We need foreigners to reunite and return.
We need to lure Sc2 player base to BW because they enjoyed BW from what I can judge twitch chat.
We need a little patch from Blizzard.

And then we gonna be blessed.

Great to see how many viewers were on the GSL stream. I hope they can bring in even bigger numbers even without Flash playing.

Best and shuttle are the only ones with winning record against Flash since Flash came back to bw. But even that gap has been slowing narrowing.

That is particularly interesting. Especially with Best.
Watching Flash stream against Best was always fun because he lost to Best more often.
Why? Nobody knows, I can only guess that Best heavy macro oriented playstyle and execution is something Flash cannot handle easily. Best just throws tons of units and then I see Flash gg. This is how many of their games looked like unless Flash went into some dropplay. I think Flash never won a straight up macro battle against Best.

Shuttle is also a macro toss, but he is not as consistent I think.

70k viewers at one moment is about 3.5 times as high as Valencia dreamhack (sc2 foreigner tournament) had at its peak. Really exciting!

I'm happy that Flash won but I feel really bad for Zero. Zero has been playing the new maps more consistently than everyone and he even decided not to stream yesterday to practice. But, Flash only practiced this map for a day with larva. Zero put so much more time and effort into this. =( He must be feeling terrible right now. I better give him some balloons later to cheer him up.

Nerves played a big role in Zero's defeat, I reckon, the 2 drops he failed to detect flying past several overlords are a good indication of how much worse he played compared to his best online form.

Zero does win most of the games like this. Im watching Flash's stream right now and he says that he was REALLY nervous during the game.

I can't find the post, but someone gave some criticism that they should plug teamliquid so fresh blood / getting interested in the scene could get answers. I tweeted Artosis & Tasteless that they should plug TL more, and they both favorited that tweet.

So hopefully they'll do that for future broadcasts and we'll get more people coming here to get BW information.

Are you putting a hashtag to get people on the same page?

I'll be happy with 5k on Twitch without Flash as a lure for people. It's a good start for BW to stand on its own there.

Only saw the last game, will have to watch the VODs, but damn, much as I've loved SC2 since the beginning, for me every time I watch BW it's like a breath of fresh air and I remember what really got me hooked way back when.
