Jaedong: I feel Brood War and StarCraft II are completely different games Clearly he didnt mean that. Something is wrong with translation. Cant see " very similar" and "completely different" not being antonyms. Well the first answer was regarding his first impressions while the second was regarding what he finds most difficult (now?). He could have thought they were very similar only to realize that they're actually kinda really different. | ||

EDIT: I think my favorite part was the absolute modesty each one showed, "learned from those better than me" "I copied other players to imrpove" mentality, it's so nice to see they aren't coming in with both arms in the air "elephant arrived" kinda like how ForGG came in. | ||

Great interview. I have always been amazed at how modest Flash is, considering how much of a superstar he is. | ||

Which not only is demoralizing for players, but a very bad thing to have in a esport, because unlike for instance, football, you root for your team until the last minute, unless the score is like 2-0. But in SC2, a single battle, (which also happens way too fast) decides the game, and one might as well turn off the stream. SC2's bad things could be summed up as: 10 minutes of almost nothingness ending in a 10s battle, where no comeback is possible. | ||

Also what has Jaedong missed that is so funny for Flash and Bisu? ![[image loading]](http://us.media3.battle.net/cms/gallery/U72SK6T5IJCW1340659821523.jpg) | ||

Take that look again from a random-person's perspective They don't care about meta gaming or all the strategies inside the game, be it football or SC2. They care about show, awesome goals in football and huge battles in SC2. + Show Spoiler + maybe that's why I find football boring: 85 minutes of NOTHING, 5 minutes of awesome goals | ||

I think most non pro players can really learn a lot from this. When flash (even though he's still very new to SC2) says something like that, I think it should be a wake up call to many lower level players who talk or complain about balance. Also pretty good interview. | ||

I hope HOTS addresses the problem of not being able to make comebacks. | ||

Match fixing was really bad, but the lawsuit and legally fighting KeSPA for two years made the scene completely illegitimate in the eyes of the sponsors. Giving ridiculous demands to KeSPA/TV stations (like the rights to the players, blizzard having a final say in any scheduling decisions, full rights to any content OGN/MBC produce, etc.), while giving the rights to GOMTV for free just so that they could usurp KeSPA's role, GOMTV blackmailing KeSPA to give up primetime slots of ProLeague so that GSL has no competition, blizzard forcing KeSPA to transition to SC2 (which after all their bullshit became the only option). | ||

Wow, it's funny, I almost never hear people speaking in support of KeSPA on this site. I'm not gonna approach that topic, because I'm not a spokesperson for Blizzard and don't want to be seen as such. I'm just a community member. I wasn't around then and don't know the details, but I don't think it's as simple as "Blizzard killed BW," and it looks like other posters agree with me. | ||
