There's bandwagoning on both portals, same with mob-justice, propaganda and insults. Just look at how many fanclubs and controversial threads have a mod-edit telling the people to not insult others. :-) | ||

Maybe it is the pessimist in me but I wonder if this will have any of the SC1 superstars playing at the first event or if it will be just lower levels that have been focused on SC2 longer. I'm 50/50 on it. In one way I think they want to show their best playing, but those best are still splitting their time with SC1. So do they want them coming out and probably losing? Do they want to hurt their image? I think they will send out lower players from their teams until the SC1 guys have enough practice in to know they will place high against anyone. But who knows, maybe they have all been practicing SC2 more than SC1. I'm just not getting my hopes up on who we will see there until they announce who actually be there. Sundance tweeted that he's looking foward to meeting Flash at Anaheim so there definitely will be some A-leaguers in attendence. | ||

"No commenst on exclusivity". "Trying to make it work with DH, cant say about the rest". "We will work with all our partners". Last one totally sound like: you better become our bitch ("partner") or you wont see any BW players ("or we wont work with you"). That would have been "We're sorry for the confusion caused by us mentioning it being 'exclusive' in our announcement. We have no intention to limit BW players from going to any events outside our own." if thats what they wanted. But, i guess its business. No hard feelings really, just disapointment as an SC2 fan, | ||

Rather because it would really kind of certify the hard work all of the real sc2 progamers like DRG, Nestea, MKP and all the others have put in during the last two years and it would show, that you cannot play the game a few weeks and suddenly be the king of the world. Even the gods will have to work very hard. That is the funny thing. They will not play against anyone that played the game over the past 2 years. All they will do is "exclusive tournament" between each other. That is at MLG. Other than that BW pros will play again against each other in PL and OSL... Even their coaches said that they want to play vs GSL players "only when they are ready" which means if KeSPA teams think that their players suck, they will never ever play against GSL players. I guess they don't want to break their "God aura". About the exclusive thing... The plan is simple. MLG locks KeSPA players for themselves and their partners(read:everyone that pays). The next step is to make every single MLG event PPV and that will most likely happen next year. It's pretty sad that MLG is trying to create monopoly for themselves, but I guess that is how they roll. | ||
