So,,these old BW stars have been living in a cave or what?


not living on a cave, but BW wasn't exactly this popular in the west as an e-sport... I think there have been more foreign tourneys this year for SC2 than for BW in all its history if I can hazard a wild guess.

Makes sense for GOM/Blizzard to show BW players and Kespa that the West is becoming a viable growth area for e-sports (fan and money-wise), especially since MBCgame has folded and so have many BW teams in recent months.

Because BW people are frustrated about the west paying more attention to a inferior strategic game and SC2 people are frustrated that they have inferior strategic players playing their game.
But what both don't realize is that 99.9% of the world doesn't give a flying fuck about competitive video games and that they should just be happy,that by having these kind of tournaments and events for their games in the first place,is a fucking miracle and should just be grateful for what they have right now.

I dont if anyone's mentioned this but the size of the crowd at blizzon is a little deceiving. The crowd was there for blizzcon, not an sc2 match. I think mlg sized crowds are a more appropriate gauge.

All the other scheduled events during Blizzcon were over already. Everyone who was there could have went home/back to their hotels if they weren't interested in the finals.

You make it seem like people were locked into chairs and could not leave, they obviously had interest in the GSL finals if they stayed and watched.



People pay hundreds of dollars for Blizzcon tickets, flights, and hotel to go to Blizzcon which is held once a year. They're going to watch all the events regardless of whether they're fans or not. Probably 75% of Blizzcon attendees are WoW players.

There were more events running concurrent with sc2 you know, like for example, their own tourney, or panels/demo for newer games

I'm tired from reading these stupid arguments over and over in every fucking thread that comes up.
Who cares?If you want to watch sc2 watch sc2,if you want to watch bw watch bw.
Why do people feel the need to derail every thread just for the purpose to convince some guy on the INTERNET that they have the better game.
And that's just what it is.A game.Just enjoy it and spare yourself these BWvsSC2 arguments because every piece of information in a thread gets burrowed under all this peace of crap.

Be happy with your game.That's all I am saying.

That was not very exciting... They have probably seen way bigger crowds in Korea anyway.

Wait a second....Slasher's hype announcement was that they enjoyed it????? Obviously, they wouldn't have gone if they weren't interested in seeing Blizzcon.. They got offered to go by Korean Blizzard and they accepted....How is this an announcement?

Pretty lame post by you dude.. Anyway, please just let it rest

OT:

What was the exact reason then? Can anyone confirm that the only reason they were there, was to watch e-sports?
The first link of chain forged, the first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

Hmm.. I'm not too sure why Kefka is being insulted... Even though his choice of words is incorrect, I've noticed that 75% of SC2 topics, regardless of their titles, have had to have banned someone for making a BW vs SC2 argument, and people are EXTREMELY concerned with BW dieing, and players from Korea switching over... As opposed to letting it run it's course... People shouldn't be turning every thread into a flamewar, and every news article about a Korean player should not end up as a discussion about whether XXX player is switching to SC2... Bisu and everyone else had a fun time at Blizzcon, and we should be happy they enjoyed it, and not turn it into a discussion about
A. Them switching to SC2 when there isn't evidence
B. Insulting Sc2 Players, As well as insulting BW players
C. Putting words where there is not

Content belongs in Lo3 thread if anywhere. If someone wants to make a thread specifically about the PC Gamer article, go ahead. But if it's a bad thread, you will get hammered. Hard.
