If they were planning to switch they could've done it fully so I don't have to sit through horrid SC2 matches to watch BW and instead just drop it completely :/

there's basically going to be a year of horrible bw and sc2 games before they make the transition to sc2 fully

Does Blizzard plan to increase the skill ceiling for SC2 now that Flash / Jaedong / Bisu (or most A-team progamers) will make the game such a yawn fest?

Surely, regardless of the game, the skill of the players will always show interesting matches... I mean there are build order wins in sc2, and awesome ways to come back. I think you're being a bit too cynical.

I dunno. I could never get into sc2 streaming or playing. It's not the lack of flashy lights or noises. I just don't think about it all the time like I did w/ BW. That and there's a lack of flashy distinct plays imo. I can't explain it.

I haven't watched a SC2 game in months.

Personally I think the game needs to develop more, and BW players will help this immensely. You have to realise that SC1 pre-BW didn't have nearly the potential of BW. Sc2 is still very young, especially when compared to other games like Street Fighter. The plays will come with time, and I will be happy if most of BW switches over, because that should make it all the more interesting.

I don't know. Maybe the games are similar enough. Maybe it would be like switching between LoL and HoN. Can any players here that play two MOBA games at the same time talk about what it's like?

You can make that argument. But all the signs leading up to this pointed to a switch over. We all knew blizzard was in talks with OGN/Kespa to facilitate the switch. At the end of the day AFIK, Blizzard could have pulled the plug on BW at anytime. They very well may have done that.
SC:BW has a higher skill ceiling than SC2? SC 64 is where it's at brah.

I don't understand how it's acceptable for people to hate on SC2 without any justification (and likely without ever actually giving it a real chance) and yet the reverse is treason. Can someone explain this to me, or is it purely legacy? I'm not disagreeing, it's just odd.

I'm not talking about the switch itself - I'm not going to get into that argument (I like both games and I don't want to take sides).

It's the stupid way they're doing it: "For the time being games will rotate every set but ace match is always BW."

Honestly, I haven't met anyone interested in SC2 in Korea I really do not comprehend this move. I mean the whole hobby is niche as it gets (watching progamers) but there is like zero interest in SC2 in most PCbangs or Korean gaming communities so who is the supposed audience of this switch?

Either I'm missing something here or this is some serious desperation move.

I actually understand if they do this for economical reasons or whatever, but I most likely won't be watching anymore when they switch over to SC2. It's not that I dislike SC2, I enjoy watching White-ra, Dragon, Boxer and some other guys, but it's nowhere near as interesting as BW to me. Not that they care.

Sponsor money and foreigners, till it dries out and SC3 will come out.

As someone who has never watched pro BW, it still saddens me that BW teams and leagues are transitioning to SC2. It'd be awesome if they could just be two separate games without SC2 necessarily being the natural successor to BW.

50% BW + 50% SC2 = 100% bad games.

Do you really think that the raging fanbois that BW has produced didn't give SC2 a chance? Like that wasn't the most anticipated game of all time for us. Derp.

Wrong, which is why there was a legal battle between OGN, MBC, Kespa, and Blizzard.

Saying diehard BW fans did not give SC2 chance is pretty lol. BW fans were hyped about the game before the first trailer even launched, most gave the game and chance and decided it wasn't for them. Personally, I played the hell out the beta and found it completely lacking the charm and excitment of BW, and therefore drop it completely.

Saddest day of my life. Cant believe SC2 is "succeeding" the great BW. Sc2 imo is not a worthy successor, not in the least.



Child, you make my bone ache from this.

Broodwar will never die as long as we are there to remember it. Starcraft 2 indeed has failed us, but better to see Jaedong playing with Broodlords than with some moba character.

I think SC2 is a worthy successor for BW. I love BW, but I think if we give more time to SC2 it will become very pleasing as well.

Still,
