Not really, the closest they got was when Tyler mentioned his tweet about feeling like he was actually watching pro's play for the the first time in a while when watching the finals. Then they just skipped off into nostalgia land (not complaining tho). It would have been nice if Tyler could have elaborated upon why he felt that way, that way more people get a sense for the far greater depth of BW compared to SC2 and how much more thought and practice pro players have to put into it. | ||

They shouldnt talk about that too much, sc2 needs to develop on its own and not look at bw@korea. | ||

On a related note but totally different point, there's really no need to talk about BW any more than they already did is there? Sooner or later they'll run out of stories and you'll be missing them in later episodes. In other words, spread the love. Just to reiterate I'm not a BW hater in the least, but it's in the past for me too. I remember trying like hell to get any of my roommates wanting to play it, but most people were just into what's new back then, or Counterstrike. | ||

I don't think it's always though. I imagine that when JP is abrupt it's because he just wasn't paying attention for whatever reason because he is often perfectly fine at moderating. Honestly I think that most of them zone out because they're doing other things. That's a problem with the format, it's too easy to just start browsing or reading chat, etc. That's why there are so many awkward silences when someone talks for a while. I really think the other guys get too distracted. Of course I don't know for sure, but he didn't play BW so it makes sense to me that he would be bored during that discussion. I can't remember the context for other times when his transitions were weak or he was too abrupt, but I know what you're talking about. | ||

The answer usually just comes down to "guess we'll have to wait and see" Actually there were concrete takeaways that we have been mentioning for months: 1 - DO NOT show supply/stats/progress tabs during games. It is more exciting to not know everything that is going on. We must start a petition to get major leagues and tournaments to commit to this. We don't want commentators relying on these things to just tell us what we already know. That's like a crappy powerpoint presentation. DO NOT SHOW THEM GSL, MLG, IGN, NASL, IEM, ANYONE PLEASE! 2 - Do not have major individual events so fast (GSL). Rather, have a regular team league to build fans and familiarity with players, develop team personalities and allegiances, as well as a testing ground for new players that get people excited and talking. 3 - Give it time. With the exception of a few players (MVP/Nestea/etc), almost everyone in SC2 right now sucks compared to the current (last 4-5 years) skill level in BroodWar. BW is also more meaningful because of the ongoing history (13 years) - only time can do this. 4 - More meaningful events (as well as regular proleague) will solidify and build the fanbase more than nonstop events - and it will also attract needed sponsors for the Korean scene. | ||

They also need more time to develop a history and talented catalog of players of that caliber. That would not be as meaningful in SC2 with second-tier 2 basing players that don't really have a big fanbase yet. | ||

[seems like a constant problem with sotg in general] edit: fixed typos I vehemently agree, especially the question in bold. It's not uncommon for regular players to compare the history of BW to the anticipated future of SC2 from a "best case" perspective. But I'd love to hear what some of the pros have to say in regards to what could, or is, potentially holding it back (whether it be in-game design flaws, b.net, game exposure, etc). Perhaps it's been addressed and I'm simply missing it, but I'd love to hear something of this nature on SotG. Excellent points on your part; I 100% agree. | ||

We likely won't really have a game anywhere close to BW's level until at least a year after Legacy of the Void comes out. | ||
