I almost don't even want to finish watching this last OSL. I will, sort of like being there for a family member when they die, but I won't like it.

The game quality in the ODT has been pretty shitty, and now we pretty much confirmed why: most of the players are spending a considerable amount of their practice time on SC2 instead of BW.

Egh... I don't know about this... Do I really want to see my BW heros acclimating to a new game and playing badly in the beginning? Probably not... BW RIP I'm off to Dota 2 too

I have to admint this is a very brave and bold move.
They are giving us BOTH broodwar and sc2!
This means everyone can still find what they like best and enjoy it.

I actually think Kespa still have too much of a Korean-centric focus going forward with SC2. When they were asked about foreign events, Kespa responded with "The main reason we switched to SC II was to put Korea forth as the motherland of esports." I can't see foreigners at Starleague within the next 2 years at least, and that's a huge push that I doubt it will ever happen, whereas I can see OGN conforming with GOMs approach with a more inviting league to foreigners.

The part I'm mostly questioning is the comment on integrating both BW and SC2 in the upcoming Proleague in May. This sounds really strange to me, to be honest. Im excited to see the result of this – because the other suggestion of alternating BW and SC2 within the games sounds very strange to me. Dont think that would be very interesting way of dealing with it either. They games are way to different for it to make sense.

although I agree with you, I don't think it is necessarily a negative thing.
Sure esport can grow worldwide, but Kespa can develope esport more korean focused while GSL can target a more global audience. If, by time, foreigners skill go high enough to compete and esport grow enough worldwidely, Kespa will (or should) eventually open up to them.

This means this is the last BW OSL ever, isn't it?

I see many people living in the past. BW is an old game. It can't carry esports anymore. Change needed to happen.

You realise that esports will never considered to be a real sport if even one game can't stay consistent, right? If games come and go every 5-10 years people can't build their future on them thus not producing high enough games. Don't you thing kicking a ball is outdated? Or throwing one? I mean cmon.

e-sports are different from actual sports.Broodwar is a great game,but as the guy above said it can't live forever.Maybe
because it's old or it has "shitty graphics" or whatever.I don't see how you can bring new people to e-sports by showing them Broodwar.
All I do is Stim.
