As someone who started playing Starcraft with SC2, I'm still saddened to see BW end :/

At least this means (hopefully) the beginning of a new era for SC2

The first half of this leauge is gonna be bad lol. We gonna watch GSL code S players rip the shit outta the former brood war pros. It'll be like watching open bracket games at MLG

It's sad times for now, but in a few years this will be the best move I think they could make.

Damn... all those years spent with Broodwar...
Granted, I didn't watch that much Broodwar anymore since the SC2 beta but still... Thanks for the 5 (7-ish) years of some of the most fun times I've ever had, you will never be forgotten!

... In fact, I'ma play some BW right now.

you will never reach the heights of the golden 2004-2008 age of BW - the best game ever created. sc2 wont even get anywhere close.

I really really hope that Kespa players become great players of sc2. I really want that the big names still remaing as a true champions and not as a shadow of a former hero, I really want that BW legacy persist in sc2 not just in the name but in the things that made BW big, I just want that the people support each other (pros, viewers, casters, teams, sponsors) for remember the original champions. It's sad that BW came to and end, but it will die like all the things in the world, just prepare ourselfs and each one of us make the proper respects, just make the single most huge farewell party with our last OSL, just embrace that feeling of sadness and sorrow and let us have faith in a better future. BW just bring me happiness so Im pretty gratefull with that game.

Thank you BW for all those years. Thank you
