But Chess 2 is out. And it has Facebook integration.

I don't get why ogn won't host sc2 like some other game and has a different league for it. -_-

its true,why wouldn't they?
Is it some kind of money issue?
or Blizzard pulling some strings?
personally,I think its the latter.

Interesting news, but I didn't think it would be this quick. Just give SC2 time since it took many years for SC1 to be where it's at. Almost every eSports game took X amount of years for it to be competitive (CS 1.6, WC3, etc).

Yeah, this. If they try to force it on people, it'll just fail.

people also don't see this as a huge factor in fixing B.net issues.
SC2 will fail so hard if they don't fix it.

starcraft 2 is such a shitty game and a 1000x worse spectator sport. why would they ever switch over TT
|
wtf why now =.=
we have no idea if SC2 is even close to being balanced at the highest levels, hell it isnt even released yet, shouldnt there be some testing period after release before the rush to start $40k tournies?
|
Probably more than half of us think that SC2 is still bad(balance not b.net 2) even after a lot of changes but I think after the Progaming switches over to SC2, we would now realize that nothing is imbalanced. Also, Old players like Reach, Savior, Nada, and [NC]..YellOw making a comeback osl win is a possibility.

I have no problem with sc2 taking over the scene. I mean in the end it's a good business decision for KESPA. The international scene is revolving around sc2 right now and in time it's inevitable that sc2 is gonna replace BW. Of course you're going to get people like this (points down at quote), who are unwilling to change to the new. Regarding the quote: I don't know if the game will be dead in 2 years or 5 or maybe even as short as only a single year, but I know that it's a risk that people have to take to get sc2 progamming up and running. I agree that scbw was is and always will be a great if not the best RTS of all time, but change is in the air and it's not always for the worse.

Bnet2 kind of sucks but that's another issue that needs to be fixed. If they fix this then more power to them

I doubt BW leagues will be gone by the end of this starleague. Gretech and OGN both realize that cooperating is best avenue to go forward, the uncertainty is the language part. I think it is far more likely that proleague goes down before either of the individual leagues.

How is it a shitty game?
Game balance is really good for a Beta and general balance takes place through the entire game's life span anyway.Battle.net 2.0 is the only issue right now for that matter.
As for spectating,I would say the game is still young with Builds evolving very rapidly,yes its true that right now most games are one-sided due to the over-powered-ness of some builds and makes it so boring to watch,but that is only because of the fact that we haven't really thought of ways to counter them.
Give it some time,we'll see what happens.

i don't think the kespa staff have played SC2
sure, everyone had the intention of "replacing" BW with SC2 when it came out
until everyone saw how bad SC2 was

I think we should have some kind of password before making a post in threads like this. The password would be revealed after reading/watching the material.
So many people didn't watch the video.

NO chance for SC2 to take over SC1 so soon. In the beginning will be some fun, but will this story will end soon like Warcraft 3. There are still to many fun of SC1 in korea for OSL to end now.
SC2 is FAR closer to BW gameplay-wise than WC3
WC3 was basically a tool to transition the warcraft fanbase to WoW, hence the heavy micro focus, heroes, more diverse races, etc
SC2 is basically BW with better pathing and interface, none of this corpse harvesting creeping mining without a town hall nonsense
