I started watching SCII in the beginning even when KESPA continued with BW, I watched it just cause I loved every time the Koreans would dominate the foreign scene, because I didnt like the fact that there all these new users, talking about foreigners, when in BW it was all about the Koreans and for SCII to be credible in my eyes, the Koreans have to dominate as well. Now that the majority of (white) people have accepted that believe. There is this new battle of KESPA vs. ESF. For me if KESPA prso dominate SCII, it would legitimizes the game to ME. It shows that the guys who excelled at BW the MOST are also rewarded the most in SCII. We already know that thats not the case mechanically. It is simply easier to Macro in SCII, to cast spells in SCII and control armies in SCII. However if the BW guys do rise to the top then it would show that the skill ceiling is high enough that only a few can master it.

To people like me its like a no brainer that the KESPA guys are going to be the best simply because former BW B-teamers and a couple of A-teamers are dominating SCII right now. So I just watch for that, I want all these people proven wrong so bad. In part because I want them to know how great these guys were, and I want people to care about them. The example I can use is Grubby. I dont know who he was. I never followed Warcraft. I just know that some people worship the guy. I have no feelings regarding him though, I simply dont care. I would have cared maybe if he ended up being really good in SCII. So thats the fear I have, that people who never watched BW, that dont know Flash and JD. Will never know them and care unless they continue to dominate. If they do then those people might go out and look into their BW past and learn about them. Its the same why I hold resentment for some people who for example dont know soccer. Or how great Messi is and just how amazing his abilities are. I want for all the new SCII people to appreciate that about the BW guys.

At the same time I can see the SCII guys point of view. They since the begining of SCII have been watching ESF players. Some of them dont give 2 shits about the BW guys. A lot of might not even know the majority of ESF players were B-team or A-team KESPA players. So they ended up spending 2 years of their lifes getting emotionally invested in SCII and specifically the players. Then KESPA switch happens and people like me tell them to go worship them now. Obviously they are going to reject that. They would like it if people like me, could go and watch some of the great games in SCII thus far. Appreciate the comebacks, and rivalries and insane moments.

So I can see why this poll is 50/50. There is a lot of people that are just SCII guys and really dont want the BW guys to dominate. I do. Otherwise I will just not be able to enjoy SCII. I will simply not be able to accept the fact that the guys who dominated BW cant dominate SCII. And I know that my SCII friends simply will not be able to accept the fact that the BW guys coming over will dominate the SCII scene.

KeSPA 88 - 42 MLG after the first week. (for some reason Grubby didn't play any games and still looking for a replacement for Stephano)

I think results would have been more even if they had invited an additional 6 NA players. I don't think they have enough NA pros. NA pros are ridiculously strong
