well now that this is in the sc2 forums, there is no need to discuss further. People are just gonna storm this, ignoring all the arguments that have been given.

I'm expecting some death threats towards the Blizz and Activision staff :/... And with all honesty, stopping a huge corporation is pretty much impossible. TL Terrorist group would probably be the most effective way to stop Blizzard killing the BW scene.

After all, some things are just worth fighting for.

why is everyone talking about activision blizzard its gretech owning the rights for korea

blizzard has nothing to do with it since they sold the rights to gretech


as kespa doesnt seem to even think about using sc2 for their tournaments i hope they are going to die out. bad day for esports, but sometimes bad things are needed to grow.


Basically it's Gretech enforcing their conditions yes, but since they got the rights from Blizzard and Blizzard sponsors them big time Blizzard probably also dictates a part of the conditions or at least agrees to Gretechs position.
It's kind of the same as OGN/MBC - Kespa. Kespa is not negotiating with Gretech but they surely force OGN/MBC to agree/disagree to certain things

You can't fault TL for trying to maneuver into a bigger spotlight with the release of SC2. They are making quite an effort to get players from their team to the forefront of the sc2 scene.

This topic mainly affects BW though, not SC2. Suspicion being that the thread got moved into SC2 forums to give the discussion an entirely different, SC2 favored direction. Would you disagree?

Hell, I'm happy... am I the only one?

TBH BW starts to get old and I rather play the game of the future than to be stucked at the BW level. I would prefer all pros to switch over to SC2 or just get back to what they did before BW. If BW can die I think it will just promote the next big game (talking of SC2) and since SC2 will get more focus it will give us more time to think about everything (balance and the such)... and the level of the game will get to the next level.

That being said... I hope I don't get killed for saying such things

This news makes me both happy as a SC2 fan/player, and sad as a BW fan at the same time.

The biggest thing I'm looking forward to is the return of awesome ceremonies!

don't be mean, there's still a lot of people that love BW and would not want to see it go. why not let both scenes develop side by side. there's already a shit ton of people playing and following sc2 already, probably way more than anything BW ever got.

Is no one excited by the prospect of a e-sports reset if SC2 were to catch? People keep going on about ZOMG GAMEPLAY DEVELOPED OVER 12 YEARS. I for one am sick of seeing a BW Terran opening, seeing a Protoss scout it, react with the appropriate 12 year old build order and knowing full well that the game would come down to a micro battle (which is impressive, but again, stale).
I remember seeing NonY mass Phoenixes for the first time and being so ****ing confused as to what he was doing. And then seeing him STOMP zerg players. I am so excited for game development.

I hope mbc and kespa keep doing what they do, get into legal battle with blizz/gretech, win legal battle, and i hope laws are passed that clearly empower esports organizations like kespa, and do not empower software devs like blizz who only care about esports where it will line their pockets.

I also hope in the wake of all of this it does massive PR damage to blizzard in korea and we get software devs out there that design games from the ground up specifically for esports play.
