I wonder how would SC2 "thrive" if not for huge investments that have been poured into it. It would be strange if this game wouldn't hit the tops. Many young gamers start off from sc2 and enjoy the glossiness and nice hardcore it brings into their lives. That is really sad, cause I firmly believe that it is lacks something very important.

This is just pop music, rock-n-roll is not here dudes.


I shall add, I'm not against SC2, great game, no chit.
I'm more for BW popularization, I'm sad that many ppl start forgetting how epic it is. Very sad.

TSL3 is better than live:
You don't know the results like it is live but you have nearly no delay between games.

I think what really should change in the near future are the endless downtimes between games in basically all except the "best run" tournament streams (and even there technical difficulties can just fuck them over)...
Really, i don't get why not EVERYTHING is cast from replays:
1: Stream-Cheating = Impossible.
2: Casters for online tourneys could just grab a game and cast it instead of complaining about not being invited to some game or something not showing up.
3: You don't even notice that it's a replay if the Streamers are not overdoing it with the "replay" features.



what. not sure how replays beat live matches. Well, I do not care either way if the matches are live but we can't see the players. But GSL style live is hands down the best and of course better than replays. This is why I cant wait for the finals of TSL3!!!!!!!!!!!!!


"Offline"-Events (please notice the ") are another thing, casting from replays there would obviously be a little strange.

But for Internet tournaments being 100% live has just like no advantage over casting the Replays of the game with about 30 Minute delay.
You get less delay between games (due to the 30 Minute buffer if some games are shorter/longer or someone not showing up on time) and if done properly there is really not much of a diffrence (expect that Replays offer more observing options than "live" observing (iirc)?

+ The "cheating" thing.

There's still more money, in Korea, in BW.

And many more viewers.

I love everything about the SC2 scene, except the game itself that is . I'm still curious how far will it go though.

Also, it's very clear that author did a lot of research for his article, but the part about KeSPA vs Blizzard part was highly opinionated and biased. Other than that, it was a really nice article (props for mentioning Mani's RWAs lol).

Yeah, I also don't know why football teams won't just switch to basketball O_O

"It's what you guys do for us, right?" said a representative from GOM TV when discussing the matter with a TeamLiquid administrator. "Maybe it's our turn."

more like wheelchair basketball to NBA, right?

JUST KIDDING, I like my SC1 as well, but it is a whole different story. And damn, most of them wheelchair basketball dudes shoot sick threepointers from far out!


the article is a good read, makes me want to be able to look two or three years into the future and see what SC2 has become...

An amazing amazing read.

I'm totally gonna spread this out to friends.

But just one question:
"it briefly crashed the Internet in Korea as millions of fans tuned in to see this epic matchup."

I know it crashed GOM servers, not the "internet". Also, I thought it was 700,000 people tunning in, not millions.

Can anyone explain this part? :}

For the first time ever, I've seen an article liked and linked to by a non-starcraft playing friend. If that isn't any indication of the "bigness" of this article, don't know what is. A common trend among posters on this thread, nerd-chills are dominating me.

Casters always de-synch and it is really annoying. Until Blizzard implements a way to watch replay online synched with more then 1 person then maybe live won't be better. But hearing casters talking about stuff that happened 2s ago or that will happen in 2s is really annoying.

I'll take the live cast with possible delays and synched casters over a replay cast with de-synched casters any day.

Either way this is offtopic. Great article by Ars, i read them all the time, great blog.

Fruitdealer - He played Zerg, at a time when Zerg was considered underpowered and Terrans had an arsenal of tools that could wipe Zergs off the map in the early game. When he took out Lee Jung Hoon in the finals and won the $90,000 prize, it was the culmination of a long-delayed dream.
