How about a GSL in Europe or USA?

Why don't you try to create esports in another country instead of crashing someone else's party?

Oh that's right, you're not capable of such a thing...you did abandon bw...the only reason it's alive and well is because of Kespa.


and here comes all the Blizzard hate.

Yes, let's start esport in another country and watch it fail. No other country can achieve the level of E-Sports that Korea has.

New ladder maps is probably the most interesting thing in this whole article. I wonder if the game will start to become more balanced with the introduction of new maps.

you are wrong it has nothing to do with stupidity but with naivety. From your part.

If you have followed last months events, obviously...

Blizzard doesn't care about bw or no bw. If they can make money on pro bw, they will probably be happy to do so. If they can't they will try to make it disappear. Period.

I think it's the other way around.

SC2 wants to Korea Blizzard?



:D

No, Blizz wants ppl to play WoW

Playing with WoW trough 6 months > SC2's price
Becoming addict and playing with it trough 5 years > lot of SC2's account

Can't believe people take this as a "Blizzard wants both BW and SC2 pro scenes to flourish", If they did want that they would have taken the offer Kespa made to Gretech and have been done with the whole affair. This is just bullshit spin, they don't care about broodwar in the slightest.

It interests me how it's often the same old-BW/longtime TL members that constantly want the game to be made less accessable to new players and be balanced and focus more around pro's and top tier players (no MBS, automine, etc), are the same people who complain the second Blizzard appears to only show recognition to a group that doesn't include them

"Focus on the pros! No not their pros, our pros! Gah you're so biased blizzard why can't you cater to everyoneohwait..."

Edit: I should add I'm not directing this comment specifically at the user I quoted, but reading his post reminded me of this fact so I quoted the line for context.

not naivety, i know what's going on, but it's still stupidity, as in posting like an idiot rather then voicing the opinion that Blizz prefers SC2 to live instead of BW. 'AMG MM IS DEVILZ' kind of crap is stupid.

Well played by Blizzard, IMO. They certainly have an axe to grind with KeSPA, but I'm pretty sure they don't want to kill off BW.

Enjoyed the read.

Oh and:
[image loading]

It's not like there's anything in the world a Blizzard representative could possibly say that wouldn't be marked as lie or whatever conspiracy by you haters.

But of course you're just insanely clever why we're all stupid and naive. How could we possible actually like Blizzard? Yeh... just how? I mean without Blizzard our world would be much better I guess x.x

As much as I like blizzard I somehow have a hard time believing that they want sc1 and sc2 to co-exist.

Good read I thought. Curious to see the new in-house custom maps and ladder maps even though my expectations aren't high. Still new stuff; can't complain. Also curious to see the new leagues.

Nothing to complain about here really. Just some news and i'm happy.

I doubt they will be happy if the BW scene dies. Nobody will be happy about it except the occasional hater. But for most SC2 players the BW scenes existance wont affect their situation at all. Blizzard is a company that wants to make a profit from their products, if they can make a profit by promoting GSL but not the BW scene, then they will do the former. If they can make a profit from both, then they will probably do so too. However, making a profit from the BW scene for Blizzard, in terms of license to arrange tournaments, is impossible due to dissagreements between the parties (Blizzard/Kespa) over that particular subject.

Nice, they are doing new maps, and some are already in the ladder pool!
This is huge, those maps will be super awsome, like every map blizzard has done so far!
Can't wait!

Interview didn't say anything at all, so i'll skip to comment on it.
