Yeah? Like results from 6 years ago or something? haha, no decent BW pro would switch to SC2 if they are doing good in BW. I think its just a retired pro. And he probably wasn't doing too well when retired, but that should be more than enough for him to dominate SC2 scene anyway... edit: BTW, not even Flash/Jaedong/Bisu can fix the game if it is broken, especially when its not even a finished game. | ||

It isn't as perfect as BW, but it's a really good game and far from broken. Players like Flash will abuse it to hell, so Blizzard will fix what they can, the rest will evolve by the players. The whole BW scene is probably going to switch within a year anyway. | ||

Any A-team BW pro that is currently competing in the SPL Proleague will not switch over ATM, because they are not practicing SC2 instead of BW in their practice time, because their team depends on them to win the PL matches (so they will only be practicing BW). Not even their practice partners, who are the B-teamers, since their time is ate up by being the practice partners of the A-teamers. If any of this leak would hold true, it would be the previous members of the disbanded teams who weren't picked up switching over. | ||

So at least this time there's end-of-the-world theories spread in there as well. | ||

Having a random 15 year old with little to no experience in the pro gaming scene and has the dedication to work for the game will be a lot more successful. Take Flash for example. Flash is one of the most successful pro gamers of all time and his debut was when he was about 15. His view on the game and style itself revolutionized the BW pro scene. My question is...What happens when the generation of young teenagers now develop passion for this game and begin to compete? Hopefully Blizzard will be able to provide us with another extensively strategic game such as BW. | ||

What I mean to say is that the current 'good' SC2 players will fade away and will be replaced by the 'good' players of BW with time. It's not about the level of success per player, it's about success of surpassing the current 'good' SC2 players while maintaining the ladder of skill among the 'TOP' A-Teamers. Think of it this way, If you have any idea about the BW scene if ever the current 'good' BW players transfer to SC2, this is what I am talking about Flash > Bisu > Jaedong > Stork > Jangbi > Fantasy > Hydra > Zero > Baby > Sea > Jaehoon > Calm > Reality > Hyvva > MVP On January 09 2012 23:46 tree.hugger wrote: It's as if we need one of these threads every month or so, and everyone makes the exact same posts in them.

SC2 fans wanting higher game play that the noticeable deniers clearly can't deliver. | ||

BW was amazing, but sadly all good things come to an end. But when you look more than 10 years of a game with such an incredible history that still going on now. More skill influx to the SC2 will make it more balanced, as more things will be exposed. It is definetely good thing that a lot of SC pros are switching and not retiring, look on the bright side - you can cheer for your favorite players for longer now. | ||

Even Hwanni was msging Artosis on his stream last week or so about how he trolled a lot of people on playxp about how some top BW pros were SWITCHING OVER. I care, people switching over is big and interesting if its true, but I can't feel anything about rumours like these until theres actually something confirmed, and even then, not every A-teamer that happens to switch will necessarily end up being a big thing. Wait and see | ||

currently gom holds all rights to sc2 content in korea which includes (tournament rights and broadcasting rights) if kespa gets tournament rights, ogn most probably will be the broadcaster of choice. for broadcasting reasons, ogn production + infrastructure far exceeds what gom offers. for other reasons, kespa-gom bad blood. | ||

GOM is a tv channel in korea, you know gomtv, go to gomtv.com and check out the korean site which features a lot more than just the gsl. The only thing about the gsl that lifes of foreigner subscriptions is the foreigner production, and the current stream quality is the quality it is because thats how much the current subscription are able to pay for. GOM has exclusive sc2 rights for I think atleast this year, or maybe just half of it. And even though blizz invited some bw pros to blizzcon to show them how big sc2 is in the foreign scene atm, all the shit that happened between kespa and blizz kinda makes me believe that if kespa will ever host sc2 competitions, it will atleast be in a corporation between kespa, gom and blizzard. Wasn't the lawsuit between kespa and blizzard settled and now blizzard is getting money from them? I thought that happened and they were friendly now. | ||
