I have the utmost faith that Blizzard will act in a fair and even-handed way, allowing BW to exist side-by-side with SC2 and not trying to pull any dirty contract tricks to try phasing BW out faster than normal.

Pfft

They've had a succesfull cooperation with GOM for about 2 years now, in contrast to a history with legal issues with Kespa. It would be really really strange decision for Blizz to cut all ties with GOM in favour of Kespa..

i wouldn't put it past them. they let kespa do their thing up until sc2 was about to be released. this announcement if anything is just a ploy to drum up attention for hots in korea where they've been rapidly slipping.

At first there was the elephant. Now it's 'under the buss'.

Team Liquid and it's Metaphors ...............................

Seriously though, I am not supporting Blizzard ever again from SC2 and beyond that(Fuck D3), so you can count me out of the scene along with many solid BW fans.
It's either the holes of my nose are getting smaller or my fingers are getting bigger. /// Always Rooting for the Underdog. Hyuk/Sin/Jaehoon/Juni/Hyvva/Hoejja/Canata //// Hiding in thread somewhere where BW is still in it's pure form here on TL.

I'm excited for the best RTS players in the world.

The only problem, Mike, is that your game needs to improve a lot or SC2 will die in just a few years. Hopefully this huge infusion of talent will catalyze a better understanding of SC2's shortcomings and we'll have a more exciting game to watch when all is said and done. If you are open to suggestions like Barrin's, QXC's, Day9's, etc...

He then left the BW Proleague and spent the night watching the GSTL and bought the entire audience pizza.

A SC2 Proleague/OSL and GSTL/GSL can work together.

Yeah, seconded.

They never did actually. It is like calling NHL out on throwing europeans under the bus.
Or fifa for americans.

A korean company attends to korean business = throwing foreigners under the bus. That's some strange reasoning right there.

Truth is, foreigners were casual players compared to korean pros, during bw (less so in sc2).

That pro license could could just be getting in to Code A. SC:BW licenses were handed out via their Courage Cups, and the reason that so many foreigner didn't get those passes is the same reason that many foreigner are unable to make it through the qualifier cups. I kind of doubt that OGN wouldn't try to tap into the international scene because they would be blind to not notice how big the scene is outside of Korea.

so so so so so true. sc2 really needs to up the notch on the skill ceiling or it wont last. people will figure it out way too quick and itll get stale (getting stale right now with just wings of lib).

i got faith that if mike just listens to the pro bw players they can really spice things up for hots and void.
