I just don't get how Kespa are supposed to survive when the level of play is so low. Why would you want to watch this instead of GSL? No disrespect, I get that these players are very good at BW and probably any RTS.

Just the business aspect of it. Seems like Kespa is taking a huge risk. Wouldn't it be smarter to bring the GSL players and get high level games to bring over the audience? The BW guys would catch up faster too.

the problem is sc2 isnt exactly popular in korea so theyr trying to lure audience with the well known stars of bw.

Serious question : Is it possible for Zerg to win against that type of composition ?

Looks impossible to win to me if you let the Protoss get to that stage.

in a normal game you scout and if you see protoss do mass carriers you go in and kill him.


Well he meant if protoss actually gets to have that army.


Like I said earlier it managed to lose on the single best protoss map in the history of the GSL so if it cant win there it cant win anywhere.


What game are you talking about? I only saw it done in the GSL on Cloud Kingdom, which is Protoss favored in PvT but Zerg favored in ZvP.


He's probably referring to entombed valley, Genius v DRG GSL season 1 finals

BW has survived on the players, not the games. I think it was either Plexa or Rekrul that wrote a blog on this about how broodwar was marketed like a boy band, rather than for quality of games.

I remember reading something like that.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by that? I don't really get it. So they advertise about the player's personalities and looks rather than the games?

Yup, I would say about 70-80% of fans are fangirls who are there for the players rather than the game itself. When the players fully transition to SC2 there's a pretty good chance that those fans will transition along.

If KHAN losses 2-1 in SC2 they win overall because they won BW 2-0 so its 3-2 overall right ?

The game becomes interesting because of storylines and the players, not just the game itself. This is true in any sport.
