Hell, it's about time! Let's replace SC2 with LoL, while we're at it. ;]

I don't see why he's been warned for this post. No offence but Brood War is very dated in terms of many things:

• Graphics look so dated that the game could probably have been ported to the SNES with little trouble.
  
• In terms of gameplay mechnics and controls, the game is more tedious to play than Kid Icarus: Uprising (a recently released brilliant game that is sadly hampered by terrible controls.) Remember that Brood War is from an era where the concepts of having more than 12 units or 1 building in a control group didn't exist and smart casting wasn't even implemented. To call Brood War a mechanically nice game to play would be a complete lie. Larger control groups didn't arrive until Age of Empires 2 in 1999.
  
• Every other country's e-sports scene has virtually abanadoned Brood War. Currently, iCCup and Garena are the only remaining popular ladder choices, it's been dropped as a World Cyber Games event and many ex-BW pros have switched either to LoL or SC2.
  
• For the last 14 years of Brood War's existence, South Korea has been entirely dominating in the e-sport to the point where there's virtually no way for a non-Korean to compete in Korea.

Clearly you're an ignorant moron.
BW has been around longer yes, but it is currently and in my opinion will and should always be present in the competitive scene.
It's a different game.
You'll find dozens of threads explaining and discussing this all over TL.
Please do some research before you make stupidly obtuse statements on subjects you have no informational basis to comment on.

The BW fans in this thread are so incredibly rude and obnoxious to the SC2 fans, it makes me sick, but then again at least it demonstrates the differences between the two communities.

BW fans really have to stop biting the head off of anyone in the SC2 community who is slightly excited about the news, just because it has a big downside doesn't mean some people can't look for the silver lining in all of it.

Stop the flaming and hating, bring constructive discussion to the table.

And that's not the same as SC2? Seriously, SC2 is dominated just as much by the Korean than in BW.

out with the old, in with the new.

in all seriousness though, BW hasnt been patched in forever. players have to start getting bored of it sooner or later.

not true at all. even koreans say the skill gap is nearly diminished between the 2

lol, if nobody is watching BW then it will die. i don't know how many people in Korea still watch it, but if the numbers are high enough, there is no reason for them to shut it down. i don't know why so many sc2 fans want BW to fail, maybe they want all the BW pros to switch to sc2 so they can see how those BW legends fare against the current top players.
