I never though to say that, but...
...now I hope that one day Relic (or other talented company, as I hate THQ) will make the perfectly balanced, competetive RTS, and the Koreans will find the potential in this as e-sport, and than the Activision Loozard (dont confuse it with Blizzard) will sunk into it's own shit.

You havn't bought it already? lmao



me neither. Why the should I? Storyline is a joke. And just look how Activision fucked up battlenet 0.2. Have fun with a game that you haven't bought but playing for rent according to the license agreement.

story line is a joke and u havn't bought the game?
out of curiosity since BW's story line is so wonderful have you played any game besides bw in the past 11 years?
do you live in a cave?



Haha I actually spoiled myself via Youtube and read the summaries on various sites. It sounds really lame to me, and a lot of people who actually played it think so too.

I played some World of Warcraft besides bw, I also like Team Fortress 2.

You could argue that you can only rent WoW as well just like SC2, but since WoW is a constantly evolving MMO which requires online access by nature, these are two completely different animals.
Boycott Activision whenever, wherever you can.

Yea THQ relic has some potential only missing on the balance patches and better support imo.
But well sc2 too surely won't be balanced until the last protoss expansion so a lot of QQ the next few years.. and they failed with wc3 and WoW too

This isnt a BW vs SC2 debate, or even a BW vs SC2 issue. Its all about money and which organization is going to control the scene. People need to stop letting there personal feelings about BW or SC2 color their judgement. Starcraft2 has nothing to do with any of this, its Blizzard fighting with Kespa over who will control the pro-scene.

You do realise that most progamers look down on SC2 with disdain, right?


Brood war's gameplay and depth has developed for 12 years.
Starcraft 2's gameplay and depth has developed for about a half year.

Bw pro gamers consider sc2 to be easy, bw to be difficult.

Should we never give sc2 a chance?
Should we never give another game a chance even if we find it funny because bw is the most difficult?

The difficulty of the game is completely irrelevant at this time, come back to in 11,5 years and then we can discuss it.

The potential is all we should look at. there are major leagues coming up and the game is getting big.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure that I read that Blizzard started sponsoring GOM TV mid 09 and fall 09 Kespa pulled the teams out



Blizzard has not been the OFFICIAL SPONSOR, that is certain. They granted the broadcasting rights though, that way GOM TV dodged kespa who wanted to sell the broadcasting rights originally. Kespa got pissed off about this and pulled the proteams out of GOM TV Intel classic.

I hated that move, but Blizzard's reaction stands in no comparison to that.


So Kespa selling broadcasting rights to GOM is ok, but Blizzard selling them to OGN (via Gretech) isnt? With all respect to Kespa, but SC1 is still a game that Blizzard made and no company other then Blizzard has the right to sell broadcasting rights for it.


They don't sell right to broadcast SC, but team players to play in your league. Teams cost more to run, leagues must share profit, they share it in every other sport. GOM could make amateur leagues all they wanted it wasn't fair for them to not pay the teams, and use they players.

The only bad thing is PR issue of calling it broadcasting fees, when it isn't about Kespa calming rights for SC at all, all they claim is right to decide where players that they hire will play.

So what you're suggesting is that we shouldn't care about proteams getting disbanded and leagues forced to come to an end, and rather look how we can put bw out of the way as soon as possible to have a free road for sc2?

Theres so much wrong with this post I don't know where to begin but the root of the problem seems to be your thought process so lets start there.
BW isn't doing anything to further the growth of esports.
esports will never go beyond anything other then a small niche like rock paper scissors world tournament if New games dont come to the plate.

Did you even watch the MSL finals? I totally recruited 4 of my nerd friends who weren't yet into esports to my place to watch the finals. They are now all fans. New games, while always welcome, don't necessarily mean progress. Chess is ancient but is still going strong as a game.

So why don't these new shiny games develop a great new e-sport scene outside of korea? Cleary it's Kespa fault they are stopping the e-sport worldwide rofl

1st argument is basically like Brawl will become competitive argument. People have BW experience, while people who developed BW had little experience with RTSes of its style. That 1/2 a year also has a larger dedicated/competitive fanbase. It should, in theory, develop faster.

We are giving SC2 a chance. But should we kill BW JUST to give SC2 a chance? Why can't Blizzard leave BW alone and have them run side-by-side? And is there anything wrong with people who don't? Why should either side try and force one onto the other? Especially since this is the BW section of TL.

I got the impression that NaDa enjoyed playing SC2 quite alot in his showmatch vs TLO.

Also, don't you think there's a very good reason Flash/Jeadong would say SC2 is bad? I mean if everyone switch over to SC2 they will be done as stars (unless they switch over aswell which is a risky move careerwise)

sc2 is not bad, it just feels wrong. but that's only my point of view. i seriously hope they'll find a solution...if bw dies, sad times are coming. The love still grows, and I don't want this new game to be THE e-sport in the next years, if bw has to die. (no pl means no bw)
first we make expand, then we defense it.

yes indeed but you missed the third comment

Flash (or someone else from KT but I'm pretty sure it's flash) ah that sucks (something along these lines)
