I'm not gonna jump on the "omg they switch" bandwagon, but it really seems fishy. Why buy this good hardware for BW? Is there any other game in Korea that OGN broadcasts that may demand this type of hardware? I don't think I've heard any tbh that would need this good of a rig.

It may not be SC2, but they either have too much cash and they can't see any other way to use it but wiping their asses and creating a bed of money, or they are going to use the computer for other, graphically demanding games. It may be SC2 or Crysis 2 or Witcher 2, no idea. But there is definitely a reason to speculate.

This isn't the first thing that's been hinted at for a SC2 Pro-League, there was something about it not too long ago IIRC.

Hinted? It was confirmed http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=277093


That doesn't confirm anything.

This is just my own pondering, but I think that Blizzard is preparing to release an updated graphics BW - an "official" SC2BW, if you like. I remember seeing Starcraft: Phoenix on the estimated timeline sheet of Blizzard and thinking that it sounds likely - after all, how many more foreigner fans would it bring in, being able to watch BW without the crappy graphics? I expect them to keep the retarded AI etc the same, so that it doesn't alienate BW watchers.

Not really substantiated by evidence at all, just my hopes ^_^


Thefuck you talkin' bout, BW graphics are immaculate. You best check yoself, for you wreck yoself.

Side-note: Didn't OGN just upgrade a shitton of equipment to accommodate SC2 WCG casts? KT just accommodating to that equipment maybe?

Ok, you are right, but it's more than hinted and they are seriously considering it and have some plans

You should probably remove the fomos picture since they don't allow it to be used elsewhere.

It would make sense to get a new team since SC2 salaries aren't that big right now and it would be relatively cheap to sponsor a new team

I think they are just showing off their money, and possible hardware sponsor, but I highly, highly doubt it's a SC2 switch... Bisu, Fantasy, and the others got paid for their trip to Blizzcon, so it's really just a coincidence. They may have another use but I won't think it's SC2 until more evidence is provided. Definitely overkill though.

And remove the fomos picture please.

KT rolster is a team that has a ton of money so they might just be going easy on the budget.

This doesn't mean anything until other KeSPA teams start doing the same.

While I was never a huge Brood War follower, I sincerely hope this is either:

A) A NEW KT Rolster SC2 Team
B) A Hardware Upgrade for no reason

I'd hate to see the current A-Team from Rolster switch over, it makes much more sense to sign a new SC2 team, seeing as Proleague will now feature both SC2 and Brood War.

It does seem odd to buy a bunch of wide screen monitors for BW, especially when a SC2 PL has been hinted.

no it doesnt, it makes perfect sense to me, its because a sc2 PL has been hinted, they are preparing to create a sc2 team, and possibly some of the B-teamers would be switching over, i could see this logically from most of the korean sc:bw proteams to create a sc2 division if sc2PL is a go, and remember, they would know first

Maybe they want to occasionally play SC2 when there's nothing else to do. Hell they may even use the computer for other things as well, not just SC2.

That's what he's saying.

He said it doesn't make any sense to buy Widescreen Monitors for Brood War.

I don't think that necessarily means they are taking an interest in SC2 or anything. I'd be willing to bet at least a few team members play SC2 casually; I know there are certain BW progamers who follow the SC2 scene. Other than that, i'm sure there are other games they would like to play on their off-time that requires a better computer.

ah, i can see that, but still just because you are buying new monitors doesnt mean that you are junking the old ones, they might still have some of those old crts around
