SC2 is just the new look of an old game. go look at a picture of baseball 100 years ago and tell me it looks the same now.


How is it a new look of an old game when it's missing all the crucial aspects? ...

Well, if SC2 does poorly for Kespa they may keep the BW in proleague as long as viewership for that remains strong.

fuck you man, he's probably the hardest practicing sc2 pro on earth

No, SC2 is a coinflip game. I don't doubt about MKP practice time, just see the difference of level between him and the top on BW. Fu too btw.

SC2 for sets 2 4 6, BW for sets 1 3 5 7 (so it's said). Hahahaha. That'll be awful. Worse play in both games.

At least viewers will be able to directly compare how exciting they find each game.

So-So. There are always new names coming up, but the top players are so good that hardly anyone can put up a fight against them.

ForGG proved that coming from BW does not necessarily mean you are good at SCII but I believe that players like Flash will shine at SCII as well.

Seeing how we don't know any details lets hope they are able to focus on what is optimal for eSports. They need to keep BW and SC2 fans happy as well as revitalize Starcraft in Korea. A lot is at stake.

MKP doesn't practice as hard as people think, but he does practice a lot, just not as much as many players his level or even lower than him. A lot of it has to do with his style and how he practices. Also being a former BW pro is a big factor.

Like 95% of top Korean SC2 players have a BW background.

Of course things don't last forever. But longevity is key for esports and unique to very few games. If we stick to the switch to whichever game has the best graphics mentality, then even SC2 is obsolete in a couple years.

Or actually out of the box. I remember a few debates I had on another forum in the Beta stages of SC2 with people that were levelling against SC2 for having archaic graphics compared to RTS games released two years before. It's possible to have 'old' graphics that are aesthetically pleasing and still have good gameplay. The argument applies not only to BW, but to SC2 itself which I assume Nor et al are arguing.

You cannot build a scene when the lifespan of a game is 2 years when the next new graphics game comes rendering the old obsolete.

BW fanboys will have to admit that as awesome as BW is, its heyday is over. Just look at BW tourney viewership on TL. It's abysmal.


Those are BW tourney restreams. Foreign community doesn't watch BW.


Just out of curiosity, how many ppl watch a normal bw stream? not the super duper finals, just a regular game like on GSL or NASL/IPL.


I regularly see 1000+ across all retreams for a regular proleague match, which is more than what NASL and IPL sometimes get.

If you want to belittle something you could also mention that most pros streaming their practice games also get 1000+ views, which makes those BW restreams look ridiculous.


And those same people sometimes get more than GSL viewership. Time of day is a pretty big deal.

No they don't. Europeans can easily watch the GSL live.

Why do posts like this one get warnings, when people in the BW forum are free to call SC2 a shit game with no future?


i agree with that guy. sc2 flaming = fine
bw flaming = warning ? how is this supposed to be fair ?

Do you throw insults at your grandpa? No dude, its just not right.. Its not like with buddies busting each others balls. When it comes to elders, one must respect and understand what they have done.

But if the grandpa spits on his grandson and tells him that he is trash, can the grandson grow up to a good and strong person?
