EPTBut really I enjoy OSL and MSL just as much as Proleague. Both rank far higher on my list than StarCraft 2 atm as current Brood War is more entertaining by a fair bit. I'm not going to speculate on why that is or if it will stay that way, but for now it simply is.
What do you love watching the most right now? - Page 14

The evolution of the strategy, tactics, and the skills of the pro players are predictable. I may not be even close to their match, but they are too boring to watch for anyone with half a brain for strategy games. i call BS on this... the game is still evolving, every season when new maps are released the metagame changes significantly and you have a new broodwar, some newbie players come up with some crazy strats and then soon afterwards someone has already a good counter to that... so it looks like you dont even have that half of a brain... what i find disgusting though is how many ppl put OSL/MSL over PL :D i think i dont like watching OSL/MSL that much if you have 1 or 2 players you root for then you have a good chance your favourites will get kicked out of the tourney and immediately the tournament becomes less attractive, in PL there's always the next game... | ||

The fact MBC is starting to pull it's weight makes it very enjoyable. MSL because Flash vs. the Dong Part II is still possible. | ||

You are obviously totally unfamiliar with the Korean pro scene. Please refrain from posting about it. | ||

Sc2 is good for novelty and I'm sure will be much more entertaining when it gets big, but right now the skill level is too low to be really spectacular. This is exactly the reason. I watch OSL/MSL/Proleague so much because the top Korean players give their A-game every night. SC2: It's fun to watch sometimes, but for some reason to me it seems dumbed down compared to BW. Also the game is still in BETA mode. Right now the top Starcraft players in the world are still playing in Brood War. Until my homie Flash converts to Terran in SC2... I'll probably forever be a BW fan. | ||

I'm watching sc2 reps like nobody's business. And I love seeing what good players are doing with the game so far. Haven't touched bw since the beta came out :D | ||

Sc2 is new and that is why you shouldn't bash it, people with will power to learn the game will eventually have just as much potention. To all the close minded fanboys, grow up. You can bash every game that is new and walk with the SC BW was the best game ever slogan on your head. It just shows how easy people think about things, the game will progress and once everyone knows what they are doing the game will be just as fun to watch. | ||

This isn't a choice between watching random SC1 streamers (if there are any anymore) and SC2 streams, it's actual Starcraft 1 leagues complete with players and teams who you've become familiar with after so many years of Starcraft progaming, and that you can cheer for like football fans cheer for their favourite club. And I voted MSL because of Jaedong. | ||

THere will always be this annoying group with, old is better. You new guys don't know how cool it was then. But face it after 2 years is sc bw a legendary game, but sc2 is the new thing. So don't be so euh i only like oldschool because that is what makes me look cool. Sc2 is not that thrilling but if you can enjoy the upcoming strats and the refreshing play, sc2 is cool.

You assume constantly that they are clinging to the old game, but a lot people contrasting your opinion are speaking against have some reason why they don't like SC2 as much. Also the just as fun to watch thing is pretty subjective, and people have their own opinions, whether you like it or not. If people prefer SC1 deal with it, don't act like them being supposedly "close minded fanboys", but in reality you're saying if they don't like SC2 and prefer SC1 they're clingy and elitest. | ||

No people write literally on the forum: "everyone who chooses sc2 fails". That has nothing to do with a subjective meaning that i don't understand. There is a difference with saying: "i like scbw better because of the high level of play" ore "i like scbw everyone else knows surely not enough to choose between the two options". And that sir is close minded, and you make an assumption that i am flaming everyone who doesn't choose sc2, but that is a change of my words. And saying to people who say "this fails" that they fail is not allowed. Because it shows that i don't respect there opinion. Well the matter of fact is, i don't respect trashtalk hidden behind the slogan "my opinion" | ||

HOWEVER -- Proleague Tournament/FINALS > all. That's by far the most exciting starcraft experience imo... | ||

 . I feel like we're being overrun. I'll be honest i'm looking forward to the MSL most only because a possibility of Jaedong vs Flash. OSL is a very close 2nd and proleague is a very close 3rd. I liked the all kill format last season better so thats why its pushed all the way to 3rd. | ||

But I'm actually looking much forward to Nal_rA old boy! It's just amazingly entertaining and about the best game ever, BW. I'm having such a hard time picking a game. BW is still, undoubtably, the best game ever made, and I don't think sc2 will ever top it, but because of the masses of new gamers in the starcraft universe sc2 will automatically grow bigger, which makes it the future of competetive rts gaming. Because of this "identity crysis", I'm not really watching any of the poll options as of now. :S | ||

(1) Negative surprise at the discrepancy between poll results and poll thread sentiments. (2) A mix of humor and irritation directed towards people who mostly voted without posting their views. (3) A mix of justified retaliation and overreaction from said people (not yet aware that strong language like " f*** " is thrown about like dust on TL and have less emotional intentions) (4) Attempts by several individuals to be above the conflict. They choose to end their messages with more baiting. | ||
