This is not meant to bash LOL but some games just arent for esports. Such as World of Warcraft. If anything dota 2 should be way higher, and even then i still would never ever choose it over viewing starcraft 2. How is calling something a piece of shit and retarded not bashing it? Its a legitimate esport, it gets tons of views and is played by a ton of people. | ||

If that ever becomes the case esports in general should be written off. Nada lost me as a fan long time ago when he made that retarded LOL commercial. People will watch cause thats what they play. Obviously you're gonna have die hard fans who will watch a game they don't play but most are going to tune into what they find interesting. I feel SC2's player base is shrinking but the viewer numbers are still pretty strong. I also feel (especially in the foreign scene) that people continue to watch because they feel some sort of an attachement to their favorite players. Probably because they are from the same continent, country, city.. whatever ( I always cheer for foreign players) Am I the only one who is worried about what this could do to the foreign scene? Speaking for myself here if what people say is true and these BW players who may come over will totally dominate the game to a point where foreign players can no longer compete (as in have no chance at all) I will lose interest in the game and won't tune in anymore. Does anyone else feel this way? | ||

Does anyone else feel this way? I think it will be more or less the same on the foreign scene. It is not like every single korean flies overseas to compete in these tournaments. The korean scene will definitely be even more competitive (as if it wasnt already) though. | ||

Does anyone else feel this way? Don't most people watch Korean pros anyway since they offer much higher level games? Foreigners playing against foreigners are probably incapable of executing something like . . . Leenock vs Jjakji game 1. | ||

People here are talking something like "so... nada and boxer were so allmighty bonjwas of brood war so how come they are not dominating sc2? this proves that bw experience means nothing in sc2" That kind of argument does not work because Nada and Boxer were bad players. Dont get me wrong here, they were RELATIVELY VERY GOOD players like decade ago. But they still were bad, just like old top tier airliners or oceanliners of their time were pretty bad technology when we look at them now. All this means just, that it is not about Nada or Boxer being in "decline" regarding their skill (atleast there is no real evidence to support this theory), it has more to do with the fact that simply better players entered in the scene, just like better oceanliners or airplanes are developed which eventually causes older technology to be left out of business. Current top tier brood war players are so good at BW which indicates strong understanding of RTS philosophy of starcraft-like games and they posses so high skill sets of this particular area. This is the reason, why CURRENT top tier BW-players are likely going to dominate the SC2-scene in following months after their switching to this new game. | ||

It will change. And the country with the best playing environment will dominate. That's a given... | ||

not happening for now, i cant believe some players will just say "im going for sc2" instead of even trying to get into OSL, maybe the ones who didnt qualify will switch to sc2, but OSL for BW progamers is like Olympics for athletes, something you dont wanna miss. | ||

Didnt Nada hold the record for the most OSL/MSL wins for one player? Now tied with Flash iirc? And Jaedong is one behind. On topic unless I see the bigger names in BW switching I cant say its overly interesting either. The big players probably wont switch until they cant make as much in BW. Though so have mentioned switching in the future. Would also love to see Fantasy v Idra.. game of awesome GG timings >_> | ||
