EPTThe 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.

That man deserves a good rest for all the hard work he put into giving us coverage of this and other events. | ||

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 | ||

They are giving us BOTH broodwar and sc2! This means everyone can still find what they like best and enjoy it. Making money from consumers has never been so good :D. | ||

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. 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. | ||

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 Don't you thing kicking a ball is outdated?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. | ||

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. | ||
