It doesn't matter that it is 'perfectly' balanced (if you are a 300APM Korean progamer) that it has a horde of diehard fans in Korean and around the further support th world. The reality is that with noe game is DEAD in the long term Sc2 or no Sc2.
Is simply too old and lame looking to attract the next generation of players worldwide. Already it is largely confined to South Korea. Even without SC2 there was no long term future for it.
Just my opinion.


Would you have been happy if Blizzard instead of releasing SC2 released "Starcraft Broodwar 2010" and simply upgraded the graphics of Starcraft Broodwar to current standard and left everything else exactly the same?


Yes

No, SCBR user interface is crap compared to SC2. SC2 allows players to spent their apm on other things rather than tedious macro mechanics.

Some interesting information, but the rest is fairly typical executive-type stuff. "We're working on it all the time, we will keep working on it all the time."

However, the pro and semi-pro leagues are quite interesting, and that might be the most head-turning information in the whole letter.

Also, I guess they got their answer that, yeah, we really do want chat channels. At least they are listening and are willing to make changes that won't necessarily benefit 90% of players that play SC2. That's awesome.

Kespas acoplisment can't dublicated in the wester world. The wester players they have fiberoptics they have cables modems, T1 lines, adsl, etc so if they wish to play they do it from their homes when they really have nothing else to do.

This why any attempted in the west will simply fail so Kespa dosn't really need Blizzard and this is the funny part i mean they banned Kespas ips to add one more card in their 'nagotiation' table ? This will lead them nowere. Blizzard must pay Kespa Great deal of money couse the show is in korea and will remain there there is no other way.

I understand that English isn't your primary language, but what you said made no sense Why would Blizzard pay KeSPA royalties because KeSPA is using Blizzard's product?

How does good internet (which Korea has internally) affect the success or failure of an esports league, and how would bad internet connections be beneficial to a larger league?

Well it's a LOT of Koreans that want another company to take over for kespa, but of course it isn't any other that can take over for atm. -_- Gief a company to handle pro leagues and stuff, so SC:BW could keep going for some more years at least!

KeSPA is the main problem.
