 I feel like SC2 is still so much in development/unfinished it's not fair to expect an audience and playerbase content with Brood War to just switch because the powers that be decided so. | ||

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! i bet you already did it, cuzz they do now i personly hate this bullshit crap cuzz the game isnt disgended to play on the absulate highest lv!!! this isnt ment as a hte comment but the had luck with balancing bw proper, but sc2 isnt, and what there trying to fix is the mid lv play, cuzz they will put the money down and atract ppl, and they say, he im gosu look at me . and they will say it to others and recommened it, but they arent gosu. the thing i hate was that it doesnt needed nearly as muchs skill, mines recals everything needed skill, even adding gates and macroing on the right time, cuzz it needed FOCUS not hotkey only. i hope alot of ppl can understand me why they shoudnt swichts NOW but when the game is REALY balanced. BW for live and plz dont take this as a hate comment User was warned for terrible spelling in this and many other previous posts | ||

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 ;/ The reason i always got told was "the pro's make so much money playing SC1, why would they switch to SC2. Herp derp noob game". But if the A teamer's were playing in PL's in Korea and also flying around the world and stealing everyone else's money, wouldn't they be making even more? | ||

These guys have made the switch to SC2 far earlier than the others, they actively contributed to the expansion of the SC2 Scene in Korea and they deserve credit from KeSPA. I am really curious to see how it will turn out, if there is a ProLeague i hope we'll see the "GOM" teams in. + Show Spoiler + SlayerS vs SKT OMGOMGOMG | ||

And Korean commentators have tremendous passion. But it's not fun when I think X player has lost the game when they are fine or the koreans suddenly get excited over something I don't know. Tasteosis have just as much passion as some of those korean commentators. They've got like 6 quote videos which is longer combined than any korean quote/loud noise videos | ||

I can't believe that Blizzard can just slap a Starcraft sticker on Command and Conquer 5 and destroy the naturally developed Korean Brood War scene by throwing money. I hope every player, caster and tournament organizer feels ashamed of pretending that SC2 is the true successor of Broodwar in order to make money and gain popularity. If this goes through I will never by another Blizzard product ever again. 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. It's called smart business sense... Blizzard is a company out to make money. Catering to the masses is the best way to do that. BW would sooner or later get phased out, it's just the nature of the beast when it comes to e-sports and video games in general. Don't need to get so angry about it. | ||
