Artosis United States2140 Posts June 12 2010 03:50 GMT #1 Yesterday was, perhaps, the last OSL qualification ever. I went down to the OSL with my trusty camera, and spoke to one of the most knowledgeable people in all of eSports, Hwanni. To give you some perspective, he runs a Pro Team (eSTRO) and attends all KeSPA meetings. This guy knows his stuff. Click the link and be educated. "OSL will probably switch over to SC2" Youtube is up! EnjoY~

ejac United States1195 Posts June 12 2010 03:54 GMT #6 Haven't watched the video yet, but I'd be surprised if the OSL switches that quickly, I'd imagine they'd do both for a little while. We'll see though.

Strayline United States330 Posts June 12 2010 03:55 GMT #10 I must admit, I am excited to see it played at a pro korean level. Here's hoping SC2 can be half the game bw is.

Zona 40426 Posts June 12 2010 03:56 GMT #14 No game has been as successful as BW as a spectator esport - everything they've tried has never measured up. Ya know I wouldn't mind seeing something like this happen just so we can find out whether or not they can really find a game to replace BW. And if pro-BW dies I'll get a bit more free time since I won't be watching anything anymore.

flamewheel FREEAGLELAND26782 Posts June 12 2010 03:57 GMT #15 ... Y'know, this news would be so much more epic if + Show Spoiler + Nal_rA had made it through. So the question is now: Flash for the golden mouse? Jaedong? ........ OSL, you will be missed. :'(

RogerChillingworth Chad3132 Posts June 12 2010 03:57 GMT #16 It's so much more difficult to control units in Brood War. In contrast to SC2, or rather going from SC2 to Brood War, it's a big pain in the ass. I endorse this switchover. RTS is evolving. Good-bye, former best RTS of all time.

Aldair United States78 Posts June 12 2010 03:58 GMT #17 This is the next logical step really. SC 2 is supposed to be "the shit" and the mainstream crowd is always attentive to "the shit of the time" and not much else. If OSL and the other major companies don't switch their incomes won't grow and may even shrink as people become more focused on SC 2. But only time will tell.... And Blizzard...... Fuck.... Edit: Roger.... don't speak that way. Just... don't....

AJMcSpiffy United States1154 Posts June 12 2010 03:59 GMT #19 I'm sure the BW scene wont just disappear overnight, at least I hope it wont. I'm more interested in how they're going to be affected by the lack of lan. The possibility of lag in a pro event is not a good thing.
