Netbar is most important way for spreading sc2 in China. BLZ and Netease do nothing on it. Perhaps if these Netbars hosted more SC2 tournaments and/or barcraft events people would see what the game actually is. I can't imagine the BroodWar scene there has just disappeared. | ||

When did Fenix all-kill IM? Or do you mean qxc? (I think it's him.) Fenix is on IM. Regardless, your point still stands. | ||

Taiwan is just not part of PRC. this is the most confusing part....sigh..... why does English have to use the exact same word for so many different meaning?? you can never explain this clearly in English when language, nationality, race are all sharing an identical vocabulary Taiwanese speaks Chinese(Mandarin) Taiwanese are mostly Chinese(ethnically) Taiwan is not a part of "People Republic of China" Taiwan is also known as "Republic of China" or "Chinese Taipei" or "Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu"(this long stupid name is what we are forced to use to enter WTO) hope this is clear enough for everybody and not cause any more confusion | ||

Lol Brood War is probably currently bigger than SC2 right now in China. With players like Pj and Lx, China was probably the second strongest BW country, but that really doesn't say much because Korea was so so far ahead of everyone else, in the sense that if you picked the one hundred best BW players in the world, they'd more likely than not be all Korean. | ||

And you can't even say Americans are Caucasian. Too many people in US are not white. If you are not from PRC or Taiwan, I definitely know better than you on that issue. | ||

Quite interesting. Well, if and when Chinese BW converts to SC2, and by some ungodly miracle War3 switches to SC2 as well, I have little doubt China could also be the second best SC2 country. In regards to the huge BW gap between Korea and everyone else, we'll probably see just the same if and when BW in Korea switches over to SC2. Keep your eyes on Kespa, boyo. Some BW teams are already playing SC2. Within a year or two, who knows, Kespa and the teams could decide it is time to switch to SC2. Surely then, Oblivion will open. | ||
