unfortunatelly this is not about to change.
Starcraft, beeing a game we love, can only be kept alive by the gamers.
All websites well know do their best to keep this game active, but without money, well...
I have to give a great credit to Teamliquid, thou i hardly visit it, for TSL; money price, good stream, many good gamers, lack of koreans yes, but still.
Right now, we may be able to make this game a hard nut to crack, but odds are still agianst us:
SC2, economical crysis, poor wcg...
THe only thing i can ask for, is another TSL, but as we all know, its ahrd to get sponsors for a "old game".
Mayb asking ASUS? reason for this is asus gain so much with MOBOs that they went rogue, going even sound cards....
Hell, this game pulled 10 years, it can pull another 10.

But when I say "I suggest you change" i didnt mean personally to the op. That was a bit sloppy written. I ment it like: "People who don't like WCG's pizza's should not buy it" The entire point of Hajis article was that WCG has pretty much said "Hey fuck that dominos shit over there, come get the best pizza in the world at WCG!". Then all these fucking people show up and try their hardest to get to the pizza before WCG closes. Anyway your pizza analogy sucks.
You kind of said it yourself now. As long as people keep coming to WCG and treat it like its the olympics, they get away with it.
The weird part to me is, if it is so bad, how come it is so big?

lol, as soon as I saw Haji's name as the author, I knew there was gonna be some DOA bashing =P
edit: I really really hope Street Fighter 4 will make it into WCG. It's not 3rd strike or ST, but at least it will give the fighting game community more exposure.

the USA Red Stone team was skootz and zsta who are both NFS players, they hadn't played Red Stone before the tournament to the best of my knowledge.

I hope our culture will grow up from retarded point of view on games till sc 2. At least a bit .
|
you forgot to mention red stone
the game which had 2 spots (more than sc) at us finals with idra & incontrol placing third (just deciding to play it the day of the competition in a walk in type of a deal after they were eliminated). That was a pure JOKE game / competition rofl.

amazing article, i completely agree with it
i remember looking through the game choices for wcg and seeing project gotham racing and all that garbage, and i was just in shock!! how can they even compare those childish games with starcraft! lulz
at least include diablo2 in there come on!!! (#1 right here <--)
I laughed quite a bit at comparing storks gold medal to some kid spinning a skateboard...aahaaaaa my god that was just priceless
great post

luxury the 12pooler made it. I'm happy for him. Tho WCG this year was so bad. Sweden, canada and some others where missing. Well.. It should be the olympics, the best of the best but it wheren't. I got very dissapointed plus for the stream... I couldn't watch the games :<
Well hope next year will be better. PLUS having SCBW left!

I really agree with you, Sweden/Canada not going to WCG is really bad  . And i hope SCBW won't die out just because of SC2.. I wonder why really sweden didn't get a spot for the wcg? have someone told us something about it? =O
|
lol, this year? Sweden hasn't sent for SC since 2004. It was pretty much a trade off, we lost countries like Brazil and Canada but Netherlands and Hungary sent for BW again.
Red Stone is played 2v2, you can't really send one person.

Here in philippine they swap starcraft for this two ugly games ( guitar hero and c&c )...
