StarCraft is too magnificent for me to let it wither away because of the stupid bullshit that killed it. In the meantime, I'm donating my share to the swedish brood war initiative. Just lol. I'm pretty sure your education isn't related to business or management or economics. Good luck with that. | ||

I'm actually really excited about the Kickstarter idea. I think that could work and be awesome! Edit: Though I'm not 100% sure if Kickstarter would allow that...the rules imply yes, the lack of results for "tournament" when searching projects implies no.... | ||

they can make a new BW with some small fixes to make some units more viable(this how SC2 should have been in the first place) like for example: make covert ops attached to the accademy so ghost comes much early and you can go bio vs protoss by using lockdown to stop reaver and vessel for high templar add an upgrade for firebat to late game so they become more useful add an upgrade to valkyrie(like a gravity missile; an ability like spider mine(so no energy) that attract all units in the targeted area, only one missiles per valkyrie buff scout ground to 10 and make the up velocity give him more speed than any other air, also make it a detector with small range(much smaller then obs), it's a fucking scout after all buff guardian to 200 hp buff queen with 125 broodling add a spellcaster for zerg morphed from zergling with an ability that increase regeneration hp in target area, so zerg can also fight without expansion just a few idea | ||

Well it would be awesome to have that but unfortunately I don't think that TL would allow the TSL to do a Sc2->BW transition. | ||

In Korea I can definitely see some sort of professional competition returning, though never to the level it once was. Eh? Viewer Numbers are going up and up as tournaments go on also the game is still (in some areas) massively evolving with metagame shifts and HoTS is coming out soon too. I can see BW being big in China, but in Korea I think the "big" Broodwar scene is gone sadly. All the best Broodwar players have switched over to SC2 now and I can see SC2 going from strength to stregnth with Kespa and their help. It's sad not having a big professional league for Broodwar anymore in Korea, but it certainly won't die out. Will it ever be as big as it once was? It's doubtful. Either way I'd rather both games found a way to succeed so everyone could enjoy watching the games they love, that's what's important. It shouldn't be some slagging match of one being better than the other all the time. | ||

Once the shine of it wears off in a couple months numbers will drop like they did before. | ||

Play it for fun, but please come over to Sc2/HotS and help us grow it even bigger than ever. User was warned for this post | ||

However I don't like the idea of touching game's code. It's already a great game! + Show Spoiler + The only one improvement that BW sometimes needs is a bit higher size/resolution of viewable area when casting. But it is already implemented, you can find it in SOSPA tournament.

Yes, I'm certainly in the minority on this. I agree with L_Master about the graphics. The graphics feel better, they are more beautiful and have better proportions. + Show Spoiler + | ||

SC2 killed BW, and SC3 (or even dota2) will kill SC2. The sad truth is that SC2 unfortunately killed off something that almost withstood the test of time, and there is simply no replacement, yet, at least. | ||
