The scene would eventually implode because there will not be enough fans to support the salaries that the BW players are used to. MBC withdrew from the scene probably because they feared BW's future and because they didn't see a future in SC2. Because MBC Game was just a subsidiary they was able to drop out from the esports scene without any regrets. OGN and KESPA can't do that though. If they think that BW will not hold for much longer, they will do anything to make a transition to SC2 work. I don't think it will though. I think the only right thing they can do is to start a new SC2 league and keep it separate from the BW league. Trying to convert the BW scene into a SC2 scene will not work, because they won't have the fanbase to back it up. I would say SC2 is as big as BW was if not bigger as SC2 has a massive worldwide fanbase. I dont know how you can say sc2 has no future while the foreign fanbase is growing bigger by the day. The BW scene was limited to korea but the sc2 scene is not and it has the potential to eclipse the bw scene. There is plenty of money in sc2 to support the scene into whatever it may grow to be. | ||

Massing roaches is quite fun to watch as well. How the hell is watching Marauders kiting zealots or Colossi killing stuff exciting? That's like the most least entertaining event to watch... Anyways on topic: I always look forward to seeing more BW pros converting over to SC2.  | ||

Massing roaches is quite fun to watch as well. You see colossus killing stuff and you scream like a little girl. I'm sorry. That's got to be the funniest thing I've ever heard. I'll be the first to admit that SC2 has plenty of exciting and entertaining aspects going for it. But hell, that's the farthest thing from one of them. I think even in the SC2 community, there's a general consensus that colossi are pretty lame to watch. Note, I'm not talking about unit balance, only about spectator value. There are so many ways to implement the concept of fragile-huge-aoe-damage-dealer without resorting to a unit that involves relatively little micro and inevitably leads to massing a death ball and a-moving. Besides, colossi only kill stuff when the opponent fails to separate his army and clumps them off to be destroyed. Why would you want to watch bad play? Much more interesting would be a group of colossi getting shit on by a player who knows that clumping against AOE is stupid and snipes each and every one of them with his units spread out into many control groups with good micro. | ||

If someone was to start raping the scene immediately after switching, it's Flash. ;p | ||

I think the SC2 scene has already eclipsed the BW scene. No offense but look at how TL was before SC2 was even announced, then look at how much is started to grow since 2007 and now look at TL now... BW was only huge in korea alone, SC2 is worldwide. | ||

SC2 fans: "Give sc2 a try. It's got a lot of potential plus there are many great things in the game such as .." BW fans: "Lol nope. BW is the best. SC2 sucks." I know people are emotional about it but this isn't really a place to flame the other game. If you don't like it, don't play it. You don't have to come to SC2 forum to tell SC2 players that your game is better. | ||

And tell me, why should they? It's not like SC2 fans are all good and nice and try to explain to BW fans how awesome SC2 is. There are many of those who say BW is old, and crappy and they show no respect for big brother. I would like for all to have some respect for BW and BW progamers. It's a wonderful game so deep and so awesome. And the scene in Korea with all it's history is amazing. And same is with SC2. It's awesome game, although it has some flaws. | ||

I'm pretty sure you would be wrong. BW had a 100k live audience. Outside of MLG and GSL you don't even see that many total viewers for SC2. Also didn't the biggest finals get viewers in the millions? There's never been anything close to that for SC2. | ||

Are there sc2 fans in BW forum saying BW is old and should die without getting banned? I don't think so. "I would like for all to have some respect for BW and BW progamers." Well maybe they don't care about BW. It's not a crime nor is it against the rules of this forum. You shouldn't come here to convert SC2 players to like BW. I get you guys are upset but that has nothing to do with SC2 players here. | ||
