is that the general consensus amongst Koreans that the game is boring?


Could he mean the game of "rumors" is not fun and it's hurting 'them'?

Impossible! The only answer is that South Korea hates SC2!

Someone really is seeing what they want so see.


nah it's just I've seen a lot of Korean pros and coaches express their disinterest in SC2 and I'd like some clarification as to if we are only hearing the negative

edit: sorry didn't read broken english correctly

If the NA/EU SC2 people have watched highest quality of BW for about a decade, then it will be a consensus in NA/EU too.

It'll all be fine in the long run I think. This negativity is worse than anything else. So what if teams get a bit smaller reality is sc2 isn't as big as LoL so why should sc2 teams have more players than some LoL teams when league is a 5 person game ...

I think this song is pretty gloomy:


Also i honestly don't think that any of those rumors are bad. Personally i'd prefer fewer teams with deeper rosters, and maybe jjust a single team league that would be more important than the current. I don't really know about SPL, but GSTL has always paled in comparison to GSL. At least in my opinion.

While we have always had a "more is better" mantra in the SC2 scene, i for one would like a more structured scene. And that is something that is hard to obtain when Kespa and eSF are both running their own shit.

Why do you even need to uninstall and install the game? The game is green. You copy the main folder and you can play everywhere. No need to install.

the problem lies in that if SC2 keeps downsizing like it is eventually we won't be able to sustain the players salaries, justify team houses, tournament costs, and etc.

as it is right now the only people who can make a good living off of it are the personalities and the top end performers (the latter having rightfully earned it), but there can come a point where training 7-10 hours a day to have a chance to make a slightly above minimum wage salary won't be worth it anymore

We get it, you think BW is way better than SC2. No need to repeat yourself a gazillion times. And cut the patronizing tone please, it gets annoying incredibly fast. Also, I believe EthanAnn meant that the rumor game is not fun, but read into it whatever you want, I suppose.

(I don't mean to pick on you specifically, there is just way too much needless gloating/hating SC2 going on here that doesn't accomplish anything).

Thanks for the news BigFan. I see all this as good news for BW, I hope we can rebuild what Blizzard destroyed

If you take just the STX announcement and ignore the rumours (which I have no idea how legit they are- is SNM the new Milkis?) Then it seems we have a successful team that was backed by a company that after many years is going over so now it is pulling out. That is bad for SC2, but I don't really see how it is good for BW in that we have a company that has a history of backing videogames that will be pulling out (probably permanently) of any sort of investment in competitive gaming. Is it true they have also stopped supporting a soccer team?

The only good is in the periphery that we might get a couple players play in SSL before they go to the military. But the level of corporate dollars seems unique to Korea and gave stability for years and years. Even though the corporations abandoned BW, I don't think it is good that Korea loses a corporation that had a history of supporting Starcraft.


When I translated I was pretty picky about what rumors I posted >

I think though, twitter is a bad medium to post rumors in cause you can't put in a proper disclaimer on the sources and misinformation spreads fast. Also I think there's a lot more rumors this time around since apparently it's apocalypse or something. (I don't actually know anything since I don't keep up, so please don't try to read into that last sentence xD)

IMO the 3rd on is the most worrying one. A plan means there are still options available, an announcement could be anything
