Generalizations are bad. I feel like that is an unfair generalization of generalizations.
the proper term would be metageneralizations.

I also don't understand why the original nested quote was warned. I happen to agree that BW is slightly dated as a competitive game. | ||

It really depends on which era of BW you look at. Pre-2006, there were a handful of foreigners that could go toe-to-toe with some of the Koreans. Not so much in more recent times. Put Idra in a group with MVP, Nestea, and Lucky, and there will be some people that believe that he might catch a lucky break and make it out of the group assuming that MVP and Nestea are on an off-day. Put Idra in a group with Flash, Jaedong, and Zero, and it would be a total joke. Top foreigners are still very much competitive in SC2. How long that may last is not certain, especially if the BW teams start streaming in. Who knows? When the Brood War S teamers begin to step into StarCraft II, maybe the foreigners could learn a thing or twenty from their styles of play. In fact, I got a theory. You may recall that WinDy a.k.a MajOr ended up leaving CheckSix for a much better team deal which has been as-of-yet undisclosed. What if one of the Brood War teams hired him to bolester up their StarCraft II roster? | ||

Most of them are blob v blob cuz it would be stupid to split your forces and play at such a disadvantage when grouping all your units into one army is the most effective. I follow both games and zvp, zvt and tvp are still blob vs blob. Only blob I remember looking at was the entirety of BW. Glad it's leaving. User was warned for this post | ||

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. What the hell is going on here? How did the first guy get a warning for his statement while this other guy just throws trash at him in the name of BW and gets away with it? :/ | ||

While the second post was a lot worse in terms of post quality it was more of an emotional reaction which I guess the mods take into account. | ||

Would love to get a reason for why he was warned, or find out which mod did it or if anything will be done to said mod. It's hilarious that BW fans get away with more than SC2 fans do on SC2 forums, while if someone even as much as breathes a word of SC2 not being worthless in the BW forums its an automatic ban. | ||

If your reasoning is gonna be like that, go found your own site based on SC2. As far as the OP. It kills me to see BW die and watch my favorite BW pros play SC2. But Id rather see them play SC2 than retire entirely. At least I can watch them one way or the other. | ||

The traffic on all the broodwar fansites is going down, on Tl if you get 5 new threads a day in the broodwar forums that is already a lot. Iccup is slowly but surely dieing, other broodwar ladders already stopped their service. People that still watch broodwar are probably between 20-40 years old or korean girls that adore some pros. I watch OSL games occasionally just because broodwar was an awesome game for like 8 years of my life, but i don't get up in the middle of the night just to watch a game anymore. It just seems that there is no more money in broodwar and there are rumors that most of the broodwar pros already started playing Starcraft 2. So yeah i agree with the person at the start that it is inevitable that broodwar broadcasts will end some day. Nobody really knows if that is in a year or two but broodwar wont be there for another 15 years for sure. | ||

I don't think the dude should have been warned either but I sincerely suggest you reread the commandments again. They don't have to be fair, and they don't have to explain their reasonings. | ||

It would most likely be a good idea to do so, however, when said action angers a lot of the SC2 members, which are a great big number of the forum members, which indirectly support TL by seeing ads. | ||
