please exit the broodwar section. dont come back even if there is a reference to Sc2..
Yeah, damn those positive and happy people! They are such assholes!
Its not the happiness and positivity. Its the kicking us when were down.
There is no kicking. He's just expressing his emotions about the situation. He didn't state anything disrespectful at all. If you find his happiness disrespectful then i feel sorry for you.
Dunno why were still talking about this, but its like going on a Republican/Romney form and spamming smiley face emoticons after Obama wins the 2012 election. To each is their own, but its just not very classy.
Except BW and SC2 aren't enemies, they're friends.
i dont understand why some bw people hate sc2 so much. I played sc1 then bw for probably ~6 yrs, loved it, watched the pro scene and loved the depth and competitive aspect. When sc2 came out i was sooo ecstatic. Played beginning of beta until now. I loved bw and i love sc2 the same.
To be honest I haven't played bw since i first played sc2. I have continued to follow the pros that still played however. I guess i never felt sad about leaving bw because its so old and i trust in blizzard. imo if they made that game i loved so much, why wouldn't they make the 2nd one great too and i was excited to be a part of it. I mean, why not move on to the sequel, similar exciting pro scene to follow and a whole new generation of metagame changes.
There just wasn't any negativity or missing it, in my mind, my love for bw just fueled my love for sc2.

They're not friends when one replaces the other.
Not true. Evidence is the movie "The Prestige" with the characters played by Chistain Bale. They constantly replaced each other AND were brothers. Checkmate.

And what was the alternative? BW was dying, and it wasn't because of the 20 people in Korea who like SC2. Would you have preferred they switch to LoL?
the alternative is dying a natural death, not throwing in a mixed league. Mvp and others have commented how the format really doesn't seem generous to the players. If the players were calling for the switch, then so be it. I know it's a weird situation because some players may not want to have switched ever, but I'd rather have a definitive "this will be last season of brood war, next season is all sc2" than a bunch of rumours swirling around, and then throwing in a mixed league forcing players to switch between the games.
Even the teams didn't know what the SK planet proleague was going to be and had to awkwardly prepare for whatever could be thrown their way. Some practiced some sc2 before season 1 because they didn't even know when sc2 may be put in place.

its not their fault that you have no business sense.
Businessmen got to do what's best for their company
I'm just saying my opinion on what I wished happened; I know that kespa sponsors clearly have stated they wish to expand their businesses and have global presence. I didn't post about a switch not happening, just the process.
I also don't think ambiguity and rumours are indicative of good business, but whatever.
