It's possible!

However I don't like the idea of touching game's code. It's already a great game!

I agree with L_Master about the graphics. The graphics feel better, they are more beautiful and have better proportions.

No because Starcraft2 is bigger internationally which is appealing to sponsors in the Korean market. Not to mention Starcraft 2 isn't a bad game, and HoTS will be better than BW.

Play it for fun, but please come over to Sc2/HotS and help us grow it even bigger than ever.

Sorry but as a top master sc2 player who never really played BW(except campaign and vs bots) I can tell you that because of hots I started to love BW and I began to train it hard (D+, gonna be C- soon !!!!). I could stand auto mine in sc2 or selecting infinity of units in one group, but when I saw in hots things like workers being automatically sent to the minerals on the beginning of the game I couldn't stop laughing. No, I will not join hots because of it's skill cap and possibility of being very good with 70 APM. For me being a good rts player is to have great decision making and be very good mechanically. I guess in lotv there will be option "auto decide result of the game" like when you come back tired after school or work you can just check this option and play ladder by doing nothing.

If SC2 has not the sucess to fill the spot that BW had and if SSL becomes so extreme popular that TV Channels want to have it...well....then BW could come back...

So if korean audience wants BW back, it could come back... BW popularity was fading, teams become less over the past years, from 12 to 7 + 1 unsponsored (Team 8)

You're comparing father with son here boy. If Starcraft 2 was a standalone game with a different name, I could also bet 100$ you wouldn't be playing it. The sad reality is that our consumerist culture thrives on the new, shiny, updated things. So yeah, lots of people who knew about bw but thought it had 'old shitty gfx' will be better off with sc2, so of course its popular right now. There's tons of money being pumped into it for promotion too. Don't confuse actual success with forced success through $$$.

That's my view on it. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if SC2 is still worth it in ten years like bw was. But until thats confirmed, I hope bw comes back.

But with better features like "auto decide result of the game" players can focus on actual strategy, and not be so embroiled in superfluous things like mechanics and decision making. Plus the graphics alone will make LotV the greatest e-sport of all time. Because in the end the advancement of e-sports on an international level is all that really matters.

I am not sure if you are trolling or talking seriously now. If for you the greatest e-sport game of all time is chosen by graphics alone then it wouldn't be LotV for sure. Thats the one thing. The second thing is that to be successfull you can't be good just at strategy and be bad mechanically and/or making bad decisions. This rule applies to every freakin sport. If you play soccer and you score a goal it is not only because you had great situation, it is because you managed to create great situation by good ball passes, good shot etc. The same goes on with SC. If you have your own sick strategy that kills everyone and suddenly someone do some gimmicky build to you, you will end up losing because you will not make proper decision due to your bad decision making as well as you will not be able to do those decisions quickly because your mechanics will not be used to improvising.
