You make BW players hate SC2 and SC2 players.

I think he's talking less about the players making a switch on an individual basis, like MC, and more like the infrastructure making a switch. Of course its just speculation, but I would imagine that players with contracts now would have to be bought out of them, if the BW scene transferred to SC2.

Correct. I don't enjoy SC2 very much at all, but I don't want to see it or its players fail.

Why can't people just like what they like, dislike what they dislike, but let both of them succeed? SC2 players don't need BW players to swap or the BW scene to collapse in order for SC2 to be VERY successful. BW players don't need SC2 to disappear or fail for BW to continue to succeed.



Yes, but I don't think he's talking the way you are.

You make sense with what you say. However most people are like FLASH MOVE TO SC2 LOLOL and expect him to drop a 30k Salary (or whatever it is) to play a game that's not on salary pay. Except TSL but it's not close to what Flash is making, I imagine.


Anyways, let's not turn it into another SC2 vs BW thread. If people want to debate it or talk about it, PM me. I'm bored in class today. Here isn't the place, unless we want to start a ban trap :p

I was under the impression OGN has the rights to broadcast WCG from the brood war days, so I don't think it's a huge deal. They might have wiggled themselves into an exception for SC2 broadcast, or they just paid Blizzard for the event.

Nooooo sir, not 30K salary. Much more than that. Think around 200K. This is why any of the TBLS switching would be just a stupid idea for them financially.

Augh.

Chances are Gom allowed WCG, for good reasons, broadcasting rights to the SC2 games. Since OGN broadcasts WCG in Korea, this is why OGN is broadcasting SC2. I tweeted about it since it wasn't stated on one of the articles I read despite other WCG games being stated to do so. Then I read a TIG article that stated it

You guys are reading FARRRRR too much into this. This is just a part of WCG. OGN can't do anything other than that since GOM has exclusive rights to broadcasting SC2 for 2 more years.

Hopefully this further sprouts the growth of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty in Korea!
Maybe MSL2 or OSL2 coming within the next year? (Gretech's rights to KR SC2 broadcasting ends within a year, give or take some time)

The BW players need to realize this isnt disrespect, its respect -_- Of course anyone who plays SC2 is gonna be excited (or scared, depending on your view point) as hell just thinking about the prospect of Flash playing SC2.
