E) his mother-fucking-amazing skills

I think the choice is pretty obvious. Sure, it's nice to get to meet the person behind the name but, A,B,C,D are superfluous topics hardly pertaining to the actual nature and character of the player

I also really liked how the topic of the production value was brought up. No significative improvements on production value yet a steep rise on production costs. Definitely a big no no.

Thanks for the great article and insight!


Sigh, one of the reason SC:BW seems so much more legit as a "Sport" compared to SC2 is the hordes of fangirls that we have. Where SC2 games are mostly spectated and cheered on by a bunch of dudes, we have grandmas, Rock Stars, Race Queens, hot chicks, little baby girls, etc cheering in SC:BW games. I don't see why you have a problem with SC:BW stars being treated like some sort of celebrities rather than simple gaming-dudes.

Plus your example is so skewed.. Flash has never been known for his looks (i don't think im mistaken when i say that Flash looks average at best).. Many other progamers though, have been known to be handsome: BoXeR, Nada, Saviour, Bisu, Jaedong, YellOw, Reach, Hwasin, etc... If you picked Bisu (<3) instead i might be a little undecided (if only for a moment).

In any case, good-looking stars + fangirls = natural result.. SC2 might have BoXeR and Nada now, but it lacks the other variable.. Plus theres another factor which i would like to list out as well, but will refrain in order to avoid another flamewar (or shitfest :3)

Edit: Almost forgot, awesome write-up, guys :3 quality just keep on improving recently <3

Great writeup and very interesting opinions about how they feel since the disbanding of a few teams. I think it's true that we cheer for the players more than anything else, luckily my favourite players have hung around or have returned (yay effort!), but I do feel sorry for people's who's favourites have left (poor Anytime, you crazy bastard). I missed almost all of the matches this week so it was a really useful read. Great to hear CJ is kicking ass!

Last week's prediction was incredible, but I don't think it will be this time.
Because I don't think CJ Entus is unbeatable like that :d

It's because you're not the target market. Girls are the target market.

i blame k-pop for that

Hey, I'd like to say that I first got into this community via Starcraft 2, and I thought BW was not so entertaining mostly due to the graphics really. But every time I read these sick write ups I wish I got into the BW community aswell, I know all the teams and most of their players, but what I'm wondering if there is a place where I can watch the BW vods with English casters?
Thanks in advance : )

The wonderful Sayle is doing English casts on a regular basis: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=286288

We plan to make that more well known in coming updates.
