Fans are really angry when you see these incredibly talanted players of the modern bw area (last 5 years) suddenly become jobless its wasted talent, this is one of the reasons why bw is rising again and SSL and KSL are so populair brood war was incredibly populair e-sport nr1 and it was not its time to be killed-off mate please, stop being such an elitist. and that is from brood war player. on topic: holy shit I can't wait to see him play in ssl, may the messia save the zergs:D | ||

Which makes even less sense considering he retired from sc2 cause of his now dead mother (RIP). It is the obvious choice to stream BW on afreeca after you retire from professional sc2 gaming, that way these players have a "relaxed" life till they need to go to the military. Personally i think it's great to have effort in BW, not enough top zerg players for my liking atm, effort should be able to do well i think | ||

I think what people mean is BW: GODLIKE game design. SC2: QUESTIONABLE game design. No need to bash SC2, it's alright as a competitive game, but it would never replace BW in our hearts. When KeSPA switched to it, everyone was throwing "just get used to it, bro. Your all-time favorite game is old, with graphics that won't appeal to modern esports fans, and extremely difficult to play on its own on top of that. Wait before the game is polished before judging and don't stand between people and progress" at us, but dark ages past and now we are so so happy we don't care about anything else anymore. | ||

Blizzard made the right business choice, just like with Diablo 3. With Starcraft Broodwar, Blizzard hardly made any money because of the rampant piracy (due of LAN and private servers), and the very low selling price of the game. Guys, someone has to pay for Bobby Kotick's yacht and Mike Morhaime's mansion. Money doesn't grow on trees, it comes from you, the customers. If I was the CEO of Blizzard, I would do whatever it takes to cash in on the Starcraft name, by making a piracy-proof sequel that is intended to replace the poorly-earning original game. As CEO of Blizzard, I would do whatever it takes to convince my customers that they don't really need LAN, and that we are truly committed on providing an excellent gameplay experience to the fullest extent of our PR campaigning. | ||

If you as a bw fan take good news like Effort coming back and turn it into a stab against SC2, then maybe you are against more than you are for. It's a low blow when you are riding a win to take a shot at ones who took a loss. For myself, I am very glad to see Effort return to the fold. | ||

Its not about that, Blizzard killed starcraft scene in korea with SC2, NOBODY wants to watch sc2, halls are empty and vewer count is embarrasingly low (ogn admited it a year ago), thats what they did by replacing bw with sc2! Again im talking about Korea and im angry cuz they killed such great passionate scene to leave nothing afterwards. I and not only me for sure wouldve understand if sc2 was going strong and players wasnt leaving so much in dissapointment, thats destroyed careers and dreams of people you know. | ||

Then be happy that good things are happening to bw again. Three years is a long time to remain angry and doesn't really change anything except to make yourself personally miserable. | ||

I think hes just one of those players that can retain skill. We shall see.I mean, EffOrt was a great player, but he hasn't played BW seriously, if at all, in 3 years. He certainly has the potential to be one of the best again, but let's not crown him too early, okay? | ||

I agree, but it is not part of the topic. People should focus on the topic though. There is no reason for bashing sc2 in this thread. | ||
