This is just too horrible to imagine. Blizzard fucking balances the game for noobs, and terrible players. Can you imagine what would have happened to Brood War if Protoss had been balanced for D level? Blizzard makes incredibly shitty maps so that players can "rush," yet ignores the fact that you can be aggressive on big maps also.
It's like every design decision has been made to dumb the game down so that its popular among casuals. You want to use a shuttle + Reaver, too fucking bad you have a colossus now, its pretty much the same thing. You want to micro carriers, tough shit, the interceptors will now come back, also the goliath can now fly over terrain. You don't like to take more than three bases, cool Browder doesn't like to either, we've changed worker gather rates and added an extra geyser so that taking four or more bases is pointless. You are having problems with seige tanks, no don't use drops or positioning, just make marauders or immortals lol. They have also removed losses from the profiles of noobs, now Joe reddit gold league can feel like a gosu, because that's what makes game good.
I can't believe that every WoW fanboy, Redditor and youtube caster watching noob is getting their way. Oh well, at least I'll have the last laugh when the SC2 foreign scene dies. This has probably damned the Korean scene to a new coke like fiasco as well.
why are you getting so angry about this. 1) we dont even know if all this information is True atm, 2) even if it is, its time to start a new e-Sports Legacy, SC2 is still a new game, 1/10th of the age of SC:BW, i personally think it will be exciting to see what these pros can Do with the game, than act it will be funny watching them own face! XD

I hope BW doesnt die on the off chance that the top gamers are forced to switch...

You're harsh but I completely agree. I would fully embrace the switch if they solved the problems you pointed out.

so now we'll see the same ball vs ball fights, but with korean commentators?
may be worth it, if someone can make SC2 look interesting, it's them

who said it was Blizzard? Ever heard of sponsors? If sponsors can earn more money advertising and sponsering game A then Game B as it is more global why woudlnt they push for the change? They would be stupid not to, Hi we arent going to renew any contracts until we know your going to move accross to the game which we can earn a lot more revunue!!!

This is funny because it's somewhat true.

Kind of tragic to see the death-knell of BW. Still, it'll be nice to see the same intense level of competition come to SC2.
Maybe one day, years down the line, SC2 will hit even worse balance problems than it faced in the past, and we'll see a return to BW. I'd kind of like that, to be honest.

Since HotS is going to be a brand new game... the launch of HotS seems like the perfect opportunity for mass migration to SC2.
This. It looks like blizzcon has put the blood in the water and the sharks of BW are swarming :D. In all seriousness I hope that whatever happens, e-sports and our gaming culture grows even bigger. I would kill to see some BW Korean Tosses switch over to see what they can do!

Death of BW? I don't think so .. * Downloads 1 TB of BW content * @ 2% now!

Hey whats the best way you've found to deal with tear stained pillows?

Won't kespa want to have control over all koreans teams, not just the BW transitioning teams? Atleast thats what I see happening. Starting off with BW teams then eventually adding in all current sc2 korean teams...
Also forcing the progaming license etc, so new unknown players wouldn't beable to just attempt to qualify for tournaments such as gom?

As someone who would really like to see BW players play SC2, I don't like this.
Without knowing more of the details, this comes off as a forced decision for the BW teams. Was it really unanimous for all of them to start playing SC2? I find it a hard time believing that. It seems like something kespa forced across the board. They mentioned champion BW players playing SC2 as well? It seems so ridiculous that players like Flash/JD should have to split their play time between games.
They need to convince me that this was something that the players actually wanted ;/

That's because they only asked ongamenet's CURRENT viewerships,

You'll laugh when the foreign scene dies ? Jesus... It's sad that there's people like you that exist.
I think you'll find it's the other people that are having the last laugh too, considering they're the ones enjoying the games and you are sat on your computer, raging like a child who has just been told he can't have any more juice.

doubt the sponsors behind BW (Kespa) care much about international fanbase (besides Samsung maybe) since the rest is pretty much only korea.
haha its funny how Pelopidas is right somehow and now SC2 people act like they are hut while they are the ones going "oh bw die already" blablabla. mb now u know how it feels when peopel talk shit about ur game?
