Also it's rewards are not shiny symbols and ez X/1000 achievements wich get players to play. It's rewards are not getting supply blocked ever after trying for 10 million times, and not even getting an achievement for that. Basicly Broodwar is like taking am advanced course on "Ordinary Differential Equations" for fun. It's deep, and rewarding and you can learn a lot. But you can also get drunk playing League of BeerPongs. | ||

I like how the only people saying no with such an expert analysis are those who never posted here before, while totally ignoring that BW just yesterday peaked at 130k viewers. But go on with your expert analysis of summarizing BW as "old people with nostalgia" playing a game of "not getting supply blocked with no depth" and boring like some math class. | ||

I necro'd this thinking people would be happy where we are now, I didn't think people would go right back to arguing what they were arguing 5 years ago, I guess it's my fault for assuming people would check the last page or read dates of when the thread was originally made. | ||

Not that I agree with Elwood 100%, but if Jaedong/Flash/Bisu/Stork/etc hadn't come back, do you think there would have been 130k viewers yesterday? I am imagining if Jaedong vs Flash happens it will get a ton of viewers, probably the most of the tournament if this happens, but let's say we have 8 new players in the semi finals, do you think there would still be 100k in the ro8? I personally don't think so. I would kill though for foreign BW to go back to where it was in 2009, reason I don't play it now is because it can take me awhile to find a game sometimes and that's annoying. Either way I hope it keeps getting popular and Jaedong/Flash don't have military too soon. Dreading the day Jaedong leaves for that  | ||
