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 ^_^

Rather new to the scene, aren't you?
Reviving BW is the very last thing on the mind of Blizzard.

What upgraded BW engine?
Even if they DID upgrade the BW engine, it wouldn't be an exact copy, and wouldn't take hold very well, if at all.

On top of that, re-releasing BW while trying to foster the growth of SC2 is just a terrible business model.

The story fits with rumors of SC2 on OGN, SC progamers watching GSL finals, teams disbanding, match fixing and so on.

There is less money to be made in SC:BW then in SC2 and Korea is starting to get that. Their stubbornness in negotiation with Blizzard might backfire now.

Maybe KT Rolster wants to be able to stream their practice at a smooth 60+ fps?

Just because they have widescreen monitors doesn't mean they can't play 4:3...

I think they realize that one day they will switch to SC2. And so if you have to do a hardware upgrade, make sure it's good enough for SC2.

IMO this is just thinking ahead and not any indication that they are suddenly starting a SC2 team.

I think he was subtly trying to reference the BW engine as SC2.

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

That's what he's saying.

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

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

I think the point he's trying to make is that it would be silly to buy Widescreens for their new computer if they're sticking to only playing Brood War, it would make much more sense to buy new computers, and keep their CRT monitors if it was just a routine "hardware upgrade"

This is just more evidence that SC2 is slowly taking hold in Korea.

yea, i realize that now, thx -tired T_T

i didnt think sc2 would take hold in korea this late, actually after its original flop in korea due to the low skill ceiling at the start and lack of mechanical skill needed at the start i was wondering if it ever would since bw is a more mechanically demanding game, as it seems though in sc2 at least with terran you are rewarded for playing fast and with good multitasking, which is probably why its starting to get a few bites, i wonder when we will see more protosses and zergs at the highest level though T_T blizz needs to fix the design flaws of Z and especially P

low skill ceiling?
It's not as if there are 3 people constantly winning GSL, i mean if there was such a low skill ceiling how the fuck could anyone win gsl 3 times in a row? noob just rape them cause no skill

I'm thinking this too.

When you win Proleague some money you never expected to win, there's always this itch to spend it on fancy stuff.

Did you already say he should stop?

Anyways I think they think ahead so if they switch in a year or two they'll be ready for it.

I don't really see why some people are having a problem with them preparing just incase Kespa adopts SC2. You might not like it, but apparently Kespa is seriously considering it, and if they are, so should the pro teams.

I really hope that they switch over. 500 APM would dominate SC2.
