Please Blizzard, if you really want to keep these BW pros and ensure the long life of SC2, for god's sake raise the skill ceiling and remove blob v blob. | ||

Man, it must be very stressful to be a progamer right now  just like wc3 had to switch? its not soccer you can be progamer only in 1 game, surely it will bring tears to bw fans if bw ends up like wc3, but its good to see another game (this time sc2) will get bigger | ||

Well that's just a euphemism for "doesn't make enough money". If MLG started showing LoL only instead of SC2 it would be the same situation. People talk a lot about how big sports never change, but the NFL is in no danger of losing profits, whereas the esports groups always are. | ||

I wonder if all of the broodwar players will switch and how many will go to other games or just retire, or if it'll just still be a while while before they switch anyway. i hope when they do, or before they do, or after they do, we start to see a lot more serious skill increase of the players. the fact that people still win and lose with blind coinflips because they or their opponent just don't even bother to scout (not, "they missed it", "they flat fucking didn't even scout period"), is just bad, and just an example. I know our games young but oi. | ||

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. | ||

I've watched like every MLG and most GSL finals. There are still huge army blobs everywhere (Zerg armies usually attack in one huge blob, so do Protoss armies and Terran in TvP). Not to mention there's still hardly any micro in the BW sense. I couldn't care less about some spell casting micro when spells are so overnerfed and easy to use. Many units are simply incredibly dull. We all know which ones. But Blizzard won't fix them. They're proud of their Collosi, Marauders and such... | ||

Of all the good reasons to be sad, this is probably the dumbest thing I've read here. I'll bet Grubby (aka one of the best wc3 players ever) wouldn't be touched by Whitera in Wc3 but could lose in Sc2 because its a different bloody game. | ||

But like I said it isn't really accurate to compare a player streaming at peak hours and GSL/proleague being played at 4.am in the morning. | ||
