No LAN? Right... and you wanted to be taken seriously as an e-Sport? Clumped units? Magic casting? Small maps? No defender's advantage? I could deal with MBS and unlimited unit selection (because the latter simply means the inferior players can move around their army a little better - but you still have to use all the hotkeys if you want to engage properly), but the rest? Ugh. As much as I like playing SC2, and like watching SC2, to see my BW heroes play that game would be the death of me. Hope no one above the level of MVP/ForGG/Hyun switches right off the bat. | ||

Mkay...so with the 20 year old women, you lay down and alot happens automaticly....on the other hand with the 35 year old women you have to do this and this and this and this and this aaaand you have to be really fast to have a satisifying result ps: yes i know in sc2 you have to be fast too, but this way its more funny :p | ||

I think it's a natural progression that the BW teams eventually switch to SC2. I expected it to happen in 2 years, but they seem to really be hustling things. Kespa apparently sees it's the right time to go with what's new, so, so be it. Starcraft is Starcraft to me. In any case, I'll be happy to see Taek Yong kick ass in SC2  .Is is necessary to say this? BW is practically a national sport there, probably the most popular after soccer and.. what else? Of course it has more money than SC2 in Korea, which is very, very tiny in comparison. I thought this was common knowledge :S. The original statement that I saw was: "in all honesty, i think moving to sc2 is not a bad idea. as much as i love bw, we cannot deny that it is on the decline. let's face it. they are pro-gamers to make a living for themselves and their families so why not go to where the money is." and I wrote that in response. GOING BACK TO ORIGINAL STATEMENT WITH FXOBoss, I'm assuming those were A-teamers from MBC game. It doesn't make sense for players to go to TSL unless they were already in contact with the coach of TSL (former coach of MBC). Now, given the recent situation, seems like those players backed off. | ||

SC II is a gloat, obsessed with pop culture, has no clue what to do with her future, and ostentatious - covered in 1012382 jewels and colorful crap that you can't even discern anything about her. .-. | ||

BUT, If I remembered correctly, Hiya himself told his audience in his stream that the BW scene will be switching. anyways, I still think FXO owner is just over-hyping and the upgrade in equipment was just not only for SC2.There must be some other reasons why they upgraded their equipment because switching to SC2 while in the middle of the league is just illogical. + Show Spoiler + But meh ... I don't think I made sense with this post. | ||

The point is that BW delivers better games usually. But people are not going to watch long enough to understand the game, and because of that won't enjoy BW. SC2 is easier to watch for someone with no knowledge of the game. On January 24 2012 11:36 Taekwon wrote: I don't understand how people can even see what the heck goes on in that game.

When I first started watching BW I didn't understand shit about what was going on too. It takes time to learn to watch. | ||

Boring as it is I would have preferred more SC2 levels where you just macro up and roll the enemy instead of the special mission quests EDIT: Oh and like most people, SC2's story is hernia inducing | ||

Give it time, BW has had 11 years to turn in to an amazing game. Give SC2 the time it needs. I honestly believe it'll get there at some point. | ||

We gave sc2 ten's year of time to develop it self in to the ultimate "E-Sports" game like DB and friends have been preaching , I mean I still recall them saying the editor " Can Do ANYTHING " . Well if it can do anything than un clump the units and not make it into the ball when you right click a control group of units to the destination you ordered them to go. | ||

It is a really good game if you compare to CnC and it is fun to play casually, but for someone who has been playing BW, watching competitive SC2 is awful, disgusting and I found myself facepalming at each new feature they added/removed from the game. It is enraging. But it is ok. I just stopped playing it, stopped following it and forgot about it, except the fact that I flushed US$60 down the toilet. I still have BW to play and to watch and everything is kind of okay, even if they ADD SC2 to Proleague its okay, I might even check a game someday to see if I change my mind. Now, if KeSPA slowly replace BW with SC2 then its just over. In my eyes, the era of the competitive eSports sinks with BW. We then will be hostages of Browder's 'creative mind'. gg I have this feeling with sc2, i played it,i enjoyed it for like 3 months, played like 3000 games? and i thought it was a good game,it entertained me for a while, man i hoped it to be a great game ! It was easy while i was laddering and i thought "well nvm when i get high enough it will be hard and competitive and all the stuff" ,i was Top 10 NA at one point, and it was the same, the game itself felt wrong and i thought about bw, and the countless hours and hours of practice u have spend to just to do some "decent" muta micro or have decent storms or things like that, or all the others features that make bw so unique, now all of that its gone, I i dont' hate sc2 because its sc2 and we are like the underdogs now, i would be totally fine if the game was atleast as good as bw, or just to show some potential, but with its current state its impossible, as i said, the thing that hurt me the most is the feeling of being replaced by something that to my opinion is inferior, and doesnt have the potencial to be at least as good as his predecesor. Its like the same feeling i have about the shitty generic music that every teenager loves and its total crap, but its the mainstream so if its popular its good right? As lightwhip said, if bw dies im gone, i will play it till there no one to play anymore, because i have no interest in sc2, if that days ever comes, as the last wish i want to someone make a beautiful video about all the amazing memories about this game that have been in my life since 1998 and cry and cry,(because my video skillz sux donkey dicks), but tears of joy and be grateful to all the good memories that the BW community has ever gave me, i can honestly say that my life would have been totally different if i had never played bw, i mean i even met this wonderful girl that im with right now (: Please bw never die, because if you do, a part of me will die too. I justed to write some of my sadness away, i kinda feel better now- | ||
