there is no wait and seeing with that game. Its fun and all, but i do not want to watch it. 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.

people actually going to watch that on t.v or turn up to a live audience to view that piece of shit?
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?

SC2 cant be dominated because there is a lot more "silly" shit that can happen, in addition the dumbed down mechanics.

Terrible news either way.

I have followed teamliquid discussions for some time by now, and decided to make now an account so I can contribute community discussions with my own perceptions of topicks.

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.
