Well as far as I know GOM has exclusive tournament/broadcast rights for SC2 in korea so I think they're fine for a while still.

Do you feel the need to say the same thing every time this comes up?
It's like you feel threatened or something...

mbc is shut down, and ogn belongs to CJ as well as GOM does as far as I have read in this thread. So they dont mean trouble for Gom.

One factor- has anyone seen how well the BroodWar Proleague is doing this season? Answer is very well.

According to Milki's its doing like 1/3rd the viewership that it had in 2007 and isn't getting that many. I don't want bw to die but it seems all the people in korea who actually can find stuff out and I don't see why fxoboss would lie either and with milkis saying the same thing well doesn't look good.
I enjoy both bw/sc2 and looks like this might be the last of bw unless milkis/boss are just playing a joke which again I highly doubt.

It's actually so interesting to see the skill gap between BW and SC2. Hyun just rarely came into the scene on TSL, even though he probably was practicing SC2 for a while. But yet, he gets into Code A through preliminaries his first or one of his first times. Can't wait to see them come over, and hopefully tear it up in the GSL

That may be true, but I'm sure it is beating sc2 viewership handily. BW may be way smaller than before, but in comparison to other esports, it is still massive. 700,000 people watched Boxer's first GSL match, which is higher than what MLG, IPL, NASL, IEM, Dreamhack got in their finals put together. And that was only a Ro64 GSL match.

Well it obviously isn't beating sc2 viewership handily considering kespa is really wanting to get sc2 in there now. In korea GSL yeah I imagine bw is doing better both in terms of actually going and also online viewership but in korea only not counting foreigners who watch.
But i also don't know how many viewership bw gets but if it was beating sc2 viewership easy peasy I just don't see why they would want to switch to sc2 then ^^.
I just wish both could live side by side T_T.

I don't think people will follow the Dongs, Yongs and Hos into SC2. People don't want to watch Dongs, Yongs and Hos play a different game.

On the plus side, the foreign tournaments may reignite GoForASwimHero.

I think only a few of them or even that will actually get to the top. The mechanics in sc2 are so easy so i dont think they will be better than MVP or Nestea they wont be better just because they had godly mechanics in bw.

I hope that the biggest BW players do not join sc2. I want to remember Jeadong and Flash as greatest BW player not some sc2 code B level.Also sc2 dosent require as much skill as BW!
User was warned for this post why was he warned? everybody got right to an opinion? on the other hand.. When I look at Julyzerg and I think back to Broodwar Im not even sure anymore that the top players from BW will dominate when they switch over..I mean sure.. I suppose there will be some new innovative builds and strats but I dunno guys...I mean July clearly got problems with the Sc2, his decisions when charging in with lings vs marines in a corner with 2 medivacs is just so fail..sure he was not at top at the last years but still..it's a former champion from 08. Yeah 2008....by 2010 when he switched over he was terrible. (and he still made to a gsl final when no Zerg was winning) He made the GSL by all inning almost every single game he played, and if you haven't noticed he hasn't really done anything else after that because people realized all he can do now is all in. Getting to one finals once and then getting demolished doesn't mean anything, I mean inca made it to a finals too.
July got Ro4 in Code S a few seasons ago losing to MVP...
