Shouldve kept SC2 in beta for a few more years.

Change is scary, but good in the end.

Not always. Imho, I think that these tournaments should run both games until there is just zero interest in them anymore. I mean BW is like the chess of e sports, rts, computer games. It is always good to watch, and 2 games are never exactly the same.

Here's the thing

If viewers and people still show up for BW, it will survive. But SC2 will be incredible popular in Korea with BW fans, and people will naturally gravitate towards the new game's proscene if they themselves are playing SC2 more.

This day had to come some time, and I'm sure Flash, Jaedong and all those guys will be EXCELLENT at SC2. The game rewards strong macro even more than BW, so Flash for sure will be very good (if he chooses to play)

Jaedong for OSL and MSL this season wil secure him as the best player in history. And I would REALLY like to see some epic last SC tournament in the world with huge prize money etc. I do think for one that SC is feeling its age, and it does sadden me alot, but SC had a lifetime like no other.

Is the question going to be answered who the best player of all time is? (Or is it already? =o)

Already answered:

It's Flash. 70% win rate, 80% in the last year. No one has ever had those numbers


Nada 6 titles, Jaedong 5 titles, Iloveoov 5 titles, (savior =( ) 4 titles.

Flash?!?!
3 titles

cant wait to see how they play sc2 with the current lack of features with battlenet/sc2 in general

dont fck this up blizzard.

this is kind of crazy, considering no lan latency/less than ideal maps.

will blizzcon be before or after the next osl prelims? because blizzcon will (probably) have a sc2 tournament, and I CAN NOT WAIT to see how blizz runs the sc2 blizzcon tournament

I don't think bnet 2.0 in it's current state could accommodate an event of that scale. Regardless, this is upsetting news to me.

I hope the pro BW scene shows some grit here and doesn't just follow the hype.

From a neutral standpoint BW takes way more skill than SC2.
True skill comes without effort.

SC2 is still solid Starcraft, looks prettier, new units, new match ups, new strategies. It's definitely more friendly of a game and much more tame at that, but the crowd will naturally follow it.

It's the exact same thing that happened with Street Fighter 4.

I don't think it's a negative thing for SC2 to take over, but it's by far one of the most anti-climatic sequels in gaming history IMO.

I'm glad to see that they are quickly slitting the throat of BW. I am sad to see BW go, but SC2 and BW both having Korean backing would just segregate the community and make it a really weird place. Since we all know BW was going to die within a year or so anyway, glad they at least made it quick and easy so that more people can just switch to SC2.

uh they have an entire year to make new pro maps, there are probably people working on it as we speak

the latency issue seems pretty serious, though. even with ridiculous korean internet speed, i don't know how ogn can guarantee good playing conditions to competitors

you just gave me a little hope.

I have to say i would be very sad if BW dies this year and it would probably be the end of my e-sport spectator career. SC2 doesnt really interest me enough as a spectator sport at the moment, maybe that will change maybe not.
If BW dies soon it'll feel like i was left by my girlfriend with who i was together for 10 years, ill be single, brokenhearted and it would be too soon to start a new relationship. If BW continues alongside SC2 i would have the chance to leave my old gf for the new girl i fell in love with. :-P

Oh shit I just realized that SC2 will probably be balanced and fun to play on huge macro maps with semi-open centres (something like fighting spirit or moon glaive).

IIRC didn't Blizzard PC's have LAN in previous blizzcons?I assume they would have a LAN build for every patch so that you can play LAN in big live competitions.
