pretty interesting..but starcraft 2 is still relatively new compared to other games on that last which have been around for much longer. give it some times and im sure in 2012/2013 starcraft will easily be in that top 10

A chart with Sudden Attack and Fifa Online 2 in it doesn't mean anything. And isn't this obvious? SC2 is enjoying the international popularity though (which is, imo, better).

it hasnt exactly "failed" and when BW pros start switching over it will get better

also its more importatnt that sc2 grows in the west since if a game is really big only in one country it will slowly die (sounds familiar?)

BW has failed too, Warcraft 3 is higher ranked than it.
I'm very good at making carriers.

Too earlier to say failed. SC1 was such a cultural and traditional phenomenon that the turnout thus far for sc2 is to be expected. You simply cant expect people to switch over right away when BW is so meaningful to so many people. While I wouldn't even describe sc2 as a failure by any means, just wait until some of the BW progamers switch over.

Failed is too strong a word, i think its more appropriate to say it didnt 'blow up'.

Good thread, deserves to live because of the intelligence discussion it will generate
I think that you should post when more Americans are using these forums, as the discussion will start sooner!

if all the koreans changed from bw to sc2 then they would once again dominate the scene, be thankful that the masses havent changed.

Anyways,
I see no reason for sc2 to be catching the interest of Koreans any time soon anyway.
The quality of games in in general so far is just pretty questionable to justify watching for people that watched BW for a long time.Before I was one of those that watched every GSL game religiously but lately I just realized that the majority of the games are not really worth it,its better to just find out which ones are really good and than go back to watch them.That being said I followed pretty much every game of the PL this season so far and not all games were min blowingly good,half of the games were pretty bad the other half were good and than there were like a few OMGAIFADAWODWDQWIB games.
I'm not a Korean but from what I understand and what people told me,Koreans in general are just starting to gravitate more towards MMOs and stuff like that and RTS games are just taking up less and less of their interest.

hi, random korean netizen trying to stir shit up.

포모스에서 왔냐? 스2갤에서 왔냐? 이딴글 올리려는 목적은 뭔데?

bw will be much more popular than sc2 simple because there is an entrenched userbase + fanbase that sees no reason to change.

if the existing proteams switch over/add sc2 to their repertoire, expect sc2's popularity to also go up.

you think most of the fans are going to the games to appreciate the strategy and mechanics shown off? no, not really. they're there to see handsome bisu win and give them a smile. they're there to see kt win. they don't care if bisu's playing bw, sudden attack, street fighter, sc2, whatever.
