BW players are professionals with job security? Lmao??? Most of them get paid basically nothing for extreme dedication and hard work. Most BW pros retire w/o accomplishing anything or making much money. They are all at Kespa's mercy.

SC2 on the other hand has teams that have big sponsors paying salaries and fly them out all over the world.

The average A-teamer on any BW team will make MVP and NesTea look average
The good ones can make them look like amateurs


MVP was an average A-teamer as well, so what are you talking about?

How can Blizzard ever dream to compete with Kespa on an equal footing? It isn't even close, Blizzard is tons behind western esports organizations who are tons behind Kespa.

It's not about SC BW vs SC2. If tomorrow Blizzard had to run SC BW tournaments and Kespa ran SC2 tournaments, guess which one would be the most popular?

I laugh at every example of Blizzard incompetence, and there are many.
I laugh at their failing tournaments. I laugh at their attempts to balance. I laugh at their PR. I laugh at how their game endings get leaked. I laugh at how Blizzard employers go behind Blizzard's back and sell illegally created runes and items to D2 item shops.
I laugh at how Blizzard failed to promote SC2 in Korea.
I laugh at how they promote homophobia and get crazy backlash.

People always point at Kespa and claim that SC BW players are slaves. But in the mean time SC2 players are nothing. They are just amateurs that have to scrape together the money, beg their parents or a team member that did happen to win a tournament, get a part time job or live on wellfare. And all the time we see how lazy foreign SC2 players are and how they don't practice.

In the mean time SC BW players are professionals with job security and support and infrastructure that for a SC2 player are hard to imagine. SC BW players just have it much better than SC2 players. And they need to do that with a game that is much much less marketable.

It's a miracle.

You realize that Blizzard made sc bw right? If anything Blizzard has proven that they can work with kespa, and other organisations, to make there game reach it's true potential.



ahahahahahah, quote of the day...i found it!!!!
you should probably look up blizzard vs kespa...

Yes. They have much better micro than any Sc2 players simply because BW demanded more, they have much higher APM because BW demanded it, and they have perfected a method of training to overcome any weaknesses they might have. Compared to BW pros, our Sc2 pros are downright casual in the way they practice.



True that. SC2 players like MVP, July, NaDa, Boxer don't even know what is it like to train like a real BW pro and lack apm/micro. If SC2 players train 8-10 hours a day, average BW pro trains 26 hours a day. It shows.


lol those sc2 players you just listed all started with bw. they definitely know what it is like to train like a real bw pro.
He's being sarcastic.
But it's true that currently in BW the top pros can make short work of MVP, July, Nada, Boxer, and it won't even be funny how one-sided that goes. That's not a theory, but proven fact in TLPD bw records.

Basically, if we assume the BW->SC2 transition becomes 100% perfect (which we don't know yet), then the whole current SC2 scene should be below Code A from now on. With maybe MVP and Nestea making it occasionally to first rounds of Code A.

But the SC2 players have played this game for 1-1.5 years longer, so the BW pros first have to go into SC2.

I hope that is a joke. O_o I don't think we want to get into a discussion over that, lol. BW sponsors are much, much better.

Of course, except that's completely untrue and you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

that doesn't make MVP on the same level as flash, bisu, or jaedong. it means he had potential to be an A-teamer. what, do you think flash has a 100% winrate or something?

I so bet 80% of them will pick Terran. I honestly think Blizzard should hand out $1000 dollars to every A-teamer who picks a non-Terran race.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

You don't know much about Brood War do you?


SC2 doesn't have teams with big sponsors and paid salaries either.

Unless he was talking about Evil Geniuses, which I doubt he was.
