Eh? SC2 is coming out shortly. At best, there is only 2 more years for pro SC1. There is going to be so much money in SC2, its going to be ridiculous.

you are delusional,balancing SC2 will take months, till then there will be no true pro stuff in it.And keep waiting for it to come, this "soon" is since like 4 months.
Some of you are acting like as soon as this SC2 comes out, SC1 will dissapear.


You are the one delusional if you think the "classicness" of SC1 has anything to do with the reason it will stick around. Esports is a business just like anything else.

The answer to why Iris is doing so well
+ Show Spoiler +
- You have to play GomTV Classic very soon.
▲ I have so many things I want to say to Iris. There is the playoffs and yet, he practiced alone for the GomTV Classic (laugh). But still, it was the day before the match so I am slightly disappointed that he didn't focus completely on the Proleague (laugh). I was worried whether he might lose, so I am very thankful that he won his match today.


Woah, thanks for this! Interesting to see, especially since its so new.

As a Flash fan, I'd rather have Effort get to final

Why? Simple really.

1) Nobody argues Flash's TvT is the best in the world right now.
2) Flash has to prove his TvZ isn't total shit
3) If this ends up as a Flash vs Iris Final and Flash does win, chances are people will still say stupid shit along the lines of "NOPE FLASH IS STILL A BAD TERRAN LOL" "HAHA FLASH FLASH IS BAD LOL"


Yeah I agree with you. Flash has probably been thinking about a finals against Effort for the past week (he basically insinuated as much in his interview) and doesn't have to do anything right now. Effort on the other hand has been extremely busy. This is literally the first time in TWELVE months that Flash has had anywhere near this amount of free time with no other obligations whatsoever to prepare for a series. I want him to have to play TvZ and to figure out how to win again, not ride a matchup (TvT) that was basically made for him given his strengths.

It's not like Flash has no hope to step up his game again ... amazingly enough he is actually 18 months younger than Effort.

??????????????????????

Wait Flash is YOUNGER than Effort?

4. We are denied an iris v july series to decide 3rd place.
5. Effort is a heavy heavy favorite against july and will kill his chances of going to blizzcon .


It's true ... Flash would likely crush Iris and Effort would definitely crush July. Takes the fun out of both matches....

What are you talking about Yes SC2 is coming, but in all likelihood it won't be marketable as an esport product properly until the last expansion. SC will atleast live until then


What? It's going to be the biggest E-Sport in the world when it releases. Money speaks.

I'll say this again. SC Pro scene started up when the game was fairly new still. Balance wasn't at its peak and it flourished. You don't need the extreme sort of balance of current SC1 to have a competitive thriving Pro Scene.

I completly agree.

There probably still will be a SC/BW league for some time, as there is/was for WC3... But in the end SC2 or SC/BW will vanish.

How do you know where money will go?Blizzard became GOM sponsor few weeks ago.Sure pro scene didnt start when SC was perfectly balanced like now, but you need this balance to get SC1 pros to SC2.Why move over to inbalanced game when you have all the leagues and set scene for SC?Becouse of better graphics?
You are very enthousiastic about SC2 and thats understandable, but dont expect it to take over SC1 like nothing, especially in korea.

Iris doing Flash build?
E-Sports is competitive video gaming with a spectator fan base. Do not take the word "Sports" literally.

tbh i'd rather iris win because i care far more about PL Playoffs than a GOM title

as plexa said, iris deserves another shot at a title, his TvT is very good -- yeah he's an underdog for sure against Flash, but not as huge as people think

effort, rest and practice for PL and MSL

Mutas will be out in time for EffOrt to deal with the vultures. Iris has hidden them at top right. Mutas have now seen them and are taking them out.

Iris has 5 gols and 2 marines but he doesn't have an add on or an engineering bay. No gol range :/

Iris is pushing out with his forces towards EffOrt's natural.

EffOrt has two snks there.

EffOrt engages with his mutas AND FAILS!!!

WTF IRIS 3-0 EFFORT LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
