Am I understand this right? So Players like Bisu, Flash, Jaedong, Stork etc are going to play SC2 from now on?

On a sidenote; let's see how well lol fares now when some of the biggest companies within esports are promoting the same game. Any bets on just how fast SC2 will become bigger?

EDIT: regarding Broodwar, they have to have some kind of farewell cermony before they shut down Broodwar for good, would like to see that T.T


I still doubt that it will become bigger than LoL. It has the potential to, but LoL is just so much more accessible to your average player. LoL probably won't be overtaken until it actually dies out in popularity in general.

We will see. The people that knows this kind of stuff claims that a game can't become longterm (note longterm) successfull unless it has a proper developed market with competent companies that supports it. That it is only "popular" won't be enough in the long term. Will be interesting to see if this will hold true between LoL, highly popular, at least right now, against SC2, not as popular or as high player base but with a far more established market, specially after OGN/Gretech/KESPA/Blizzard now all support SC2.

Kespas plan was to shut down BW in July or something, when a new season begin if I read it correctly. I think that will mean they will go fulltime SC2, if they don't quit so I believe the answer should be yes.

I hope GSL and this new OGN tournament do not collide with each other. I want to see all players in both tournaments. Main question is can current sc2 players attend to this new one and can current kespa players attend to GSL???? If they collide it will be a shame.

This is great news, altough nothing is sure yet, it looks like we are going to have an OSL with Kespa and Current SC2 players.
And maybe even a pro league with also GSTL teams. Atleast Kespa doesnt ignore the GSL teams completely if they are open for it.

And Kespa players in foreign events!!! this will be amazing

So the pro BW scene will be dead when this happens? Is this right?

Perhaps, if they want to switch over. The other possibility is that they simply retire.

While I am excited to see the performance of the BW pros in SC2, I am surprised that BW is being totally phased out. I just did not expect that. Then again, I have not been following much Starcraft at all recently.

Has BW been losing viewers and sponsors that badly as of late?

Ogn says they are going to have English casters; I read that as moletrap is back!
I'm worried about the gsl- it's been my premier tournament and I don't want it to go away.

This will be the end of the foreign scene at least from a player perspective.

Okay. Wasn't excited before. Am excited now.

It's definitely time that the foreigner community kicks into higher gear. Maybe Red Bull and Day9 can pull something off in that regard. Red Bull is certainly enough of a heavy weight...

Hardly. The best foreigners compete quite readily at the moment with high level Koreans and there's been no evidence to suggest that people like Flash will find it any easier to deal with someone like Thorzain or Naniwa.

Terrible news. As a BW fan this is a very sad day, and I'd be careful with celebrating if you're a SC2 fan as well - a sudden influx of the absolute elite in RTS gaming does not bode well for foreigners.
1000 at least.
