I bought SC:BW just to understand how protoss works after watching some VOD of Stork playing. That's when I started viewing live streams of Proleague and the 2 Starleagues regularly. With that said, I do not play BW anymore(didn't even complete the campaign missions), and I do not even own a copy of SC2.

There's something magical about BW compared to SC2. Be it the team atmosphere, the audience, the korean casters, the history of it et cetera.

What the heck?

Okay, the reason I ask this is because I have a solution to protect the livelihoods of pro BW players. I think I'll reveal it now because you guys are accusing me of things.


I think KESPA should contract a really good mapmaker and get him to recreate SCBW on SCII engine. Hence, the game improves graphically but the gameplay remains the same.

As close as its gonna get, BW cant be recreated.
Smells like troll to me.

It's actually been done, but it's simply not going to ever work as well.
Besides, the graphics of BW are perfect. That and Red Alert 2 are the only games I know that did graphics as well as they could possibly be done. I personally don't find the graphics of SC2 to be an improvement at all.
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

the livelihoods of pro BW players are in much better shape than your favorite SC2 players

Did you know that the vast majority of SC2 players don't even make money outside of the prize money they win? Every BW A-teamer gets a decent salary.

That wouldn't work because of 2 things:

30 degree ramps
Unit movement/dynamics

Also 3) Dragoons with good pathing are OP.

Even though I grew up with bad graphics, I can't play BW anymore unless I'm with my friends in a PC bang. I just suck at the game and it takes way more time than I have to get good.

However playing the game is a total nostalgia trip for me, thats why I play

LOOOOOOOOOOOL



I really don't get it. Will recreating SCBW on SCII really destroy the integrity of the game? I've seen TLAttack where Sheth plays the BW maps on SCII and it seems like it has got a lot of potential. Everything from MBS to auto-mine can be disabled.

Hey MavercK, kalany has the best idea ever! He'll hook you and KeSPA up!

That is the conversion mod, broseph.

Dude....don't try to have this debate with me man. You can't say that SCBW isn't going to dissipate as soon as contracts expire and key star players (Flash, Jaedong, Bisu) enlist in the military. Didn't Hite and some other team get absorbed already?

I don't know man....it's not looking good for you guys.

At first I gave you the benefit of the doubt. Thanks for reinforcing my opinions on sc2 posters coming into bw general. Get out.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

Or Blizzard could try harder with HotS.

You obviously never played BW to suggest sc2bw will be the same as original BW.
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

Haha, nah. I actually play SCII in lowest settings because it does get distracting. But as a watcher of pro matches, I like the graphics to be souped up. You can blame that on the 27" Samsung HDTV I purchased before I went to college which probably gives away my age too.

At this point, I feel like a Christian trying to convert a Jew



Why would you convert anyone? BW is clearly the more polished game (at least for now), and I say that as a true SC2 fanboy... If you never played it you simply can't understand. This does not mean that SC2 cannot be as fun as BW (I would say that a good macro game is just as fun in both games).

In all seriousness a more appropriate question would be "Why play SC2?"

kalany, just so you know, its not the maps that's the only problem. Also, graphics should not be used in an argument when comparing how good games are. You see games like CS and WoW with shitty graphics but they are still one of the most played games in their respective genres.
