Flash has massive starpower in sc2 despite not winning a title yet, same with JD. This is about superfans and there's a ton of hardcore fans for the BW greats in LR threads any time they play. Just look at Bisudagger, he is the definition of superfan. | ||

To be fair, star power has fuck all to do with fandom. I'd take fandom to Bisudagger's court any day of the week and Life's name doesn't carry one tenth the weight that Bisu's name does. I also don't know for sure how neoghaleon reasoned but to me this write-up focuses on SC2 - Bisu, Jaedong, Flash and the other guys, while popular, still feel more like "BW stars" than "SC2 stars" | ||

"no other fandoms come close" Fandoms exceed both in both games lol. Point me to a flash's body thread or a 1 million member fanclub for anyone but boxer. While your at, bisudagger unsubbed from everything but bw on tl (before bisu retired) so he's pretty clearly a fan of bisu in broodwar alone, and while jaedong and flash have starpower they really don't have the starpower in sc2 as a life or bomber or drg or mvp. The names you want super fan write ups for should happen in the broodwar forum, not the sc2 forum. And while it's undeniable that they have bigger starpower in bw then any player in sc2, thats for a completely different game. | ||
