just want to get this out there. while i understand BW fans feelings and in no way mean any disrespect to them, I wish they would realize that SC2 is extremely new and unexplored. BW did not come out of the gate with prefect Builds and perfect mechanics and the epic insanely awesome play we see today. we are already see more and more thought out and "perfected" strategies. the game is still developing so seeing the best and most talented BW players switching over to SC2 will only mean that SC2 will reach the point BW is at faster and we will see better SC2 matches hopefully on the same scale of epicness of the BW games now. my advice give it a chance and time BW is not dead yet.

We have to do something to stop this. I just don't know what. They can't kill the best game ever.

The 3 best terrans are a Woongjin Terran, MBC HERO Protoss b-teamer and SKT Terran b-teamer. The 3 best zergs are a former 2v2 player and coach, Terran practice partner for CJ, and one amateur A-rank player on iccup. The 3 best tosses are MBC Hero b-teamer, FOX b-teamer and Sparkyz b-teamer.

If these people can become the top of sc2 then sure as hell any A-teamer of today could too if they just put their mind and time into it.


Hyun

What about HyuN? Yeah, he is at the same stage as ByuL. Both playing since what, like christmas and both of them are already playing against the top players everyday on ladder, but not fit for competition. Like I said, they need time but they need to put effort into it and that is what HyuN and ByuL is doing right now. You are fucking silly.

Um, no one said that.

Yes, you see it everywhere as soon as this BW vs Sc2 topic pops up.

Hyun joined TSL in November and stated he started playing a month prior to joining them. that gives us six months, everybody who's seen HyuN play recently knows that the guy has an awful gamesense and sense of strategy. He basically just maxes out on a unit then a-moves and then keeps doing that until he wins or loses. T_T

However I do not support the argument that bw players are mechanics-only, but BW and SC2 are different games. Your skill can translate over to starcraft 2, but it can certainly not do it as well. bw skill does not = sc2 skill. that is the most stupid argument ever. a BW player most likely has a slightly bigger advantage over a player from wc3/c&c/etc. but just slightly.

Yeah but Hyun was actually quite bad at BW too

I don't get why these two games can't co-exists, just as how basketball and hockey co-exists, or how Street Fighter and Tekken scene co-exists. Why must they try to kill off BW instead of just letting the players choose whichever they want to play? This is pretty retarded move.

This is assuming the games are equals in gameplay, strategic depth, etc. Years of COD won't make it Counter-Strike. SC2 has given plenty of time to develop, and it honestly hasn't in my opinion (beyond changing builds to suit various nerfs/buffs)

It's just as likely (more so actually) that one game just plain isn't as good as the other. Either way it's getting its shot, whether you think it will flourish and start a new era of Korean esports or it's an albatross is irrelevant, time will tell.

The ace match will always be BW? This seems rather random.

BW isn't chess you don't move pieces to x and than check mate I win it isn't perfect . If it is flash would have a 100% win rate because his builds are some how always design to out play his opponent in which he can gain a significant advantage from there. Calm probably would have a 100% win rate because if you see his play he really put's time in to the strategy department..

BW was god damn awesome even in 1999. (For me at least). If SC2 sucks for me now,it will suck forever. And it doesn`t have to do anything with strategies,just the look and gameplay.

No you and 99% of people who says that DO NOT understand, medieval aged BW was as exciting for people back then as it is now. Even pre-boxer era Grrr.... was highly regarded in Korean community then Boxer came and the hell break loose . People were fainting when they saw his marines/dropship antics on 1 base and 150 apm. IT WAS EXCITING

And thats where the crux is, BW is amazing on micro and macro scale, because how fast paced SC2 is its hard to achive those micro scale glories you got in BW, by the 10 minute mark a dropship with 2 tanks is useless in SC2 while it still can give u a boner in BW. etc etc etc

Man, I just realized, I don't really have a reason to come to TL anymore if there's no more BW coverage, all the other stuff I do in TL is crap I do while waiting for BW games.

God. Despite not following BW on a daily or even weekly basis anymore, just knowing that it's there for me when I need THE game with which I can really cuddle..

Don't leave me please! =/

This a 100%. SC2 fans come here saying things like: "Give it time. You can't compare a game that has developed for 10 years with a game that only had 2 years". The thing is: BW has developed for 10 years (more actually), but the game was already pretty fucking good back then. The game didn't take 10 years to become good, it was great back then and has been great all the while.

I also don't get this "let's enjoy SC2 now because one day it'll be good". What's the reasoning behind this? Hell, if one day SC2 actually becomes good, we'll enjoy it, but for now they should keep the BW leagues for BW is the better game now (and will probably always be).
