Although Flash doesn't seem to have the "spark" currently :/

If you like BW, play BW. Sustainable communities rise from the players. The more players a game has, the more attractive it is to others, and the more likely small events can be held, especially considering BW is LAN-capable and divorced from Battle.net, meaning no Blizzard control. I play some games with small communities, and the best you can do is to play, to talk with others about the game, teach and LAN.

This. In gaming, little is worse than playing a game you hate. This is supposed to be fun, after all.

Nice interview. Thanks for translating.

Surprised to see that bisu is so against advancement of society. SC2 is out and he plays SC1? Didn't know he was this much of a selfish person. You learn something new every day.

I tink at early HOTS Flash actually did better than Jaedong, right?
Especially during the MLG he went into finals , beating Innovation & then losing to Life sad case . . .
Right now Jaedong has high WCS point.
Flash oso perform well in SPL.
He lost his spark when he lose to Bomber in GSL 2-3 months ago . And then the SPL his team did not make it, it is FLASH team. Then he went missing in bangkok 1 month, sad exit from Romania tourny, and the recent GSL . . .
His recent GSL game is fun to watch. I think some poor decision cost him the game, not really his skill. Maybe he is affected by all these recent event causing mini slump.

Well I guess I'll start watching the sonic starleague if Bisu plays, he is my favorite player after all!

What's with these modelesque head shots?

Bisu's impression about the fanbase seems to be objectively incorrect. It's true it dropped drastically compared to BW but it then steadily improved with way larger crowds (than when it switched) for Starleague and Proleague. He made it seem like a continuous downward trend.
Really ?
I don't understand what give you that impression ?
To me it look like the audience have really drop like crazy in the last 6 month of proleague.
For example I remember in the beginning of hybrid proleague and first OSL seeing groups of fan girls in the studio, sometimes offering large amount of gift and food, like cake and candy, to their team. Doesn't happen anymore.
Also since the schedule of proleague has changed to accommodate for more LOL most of proleague match are played at SPOTTV in the middle of the week and it is sometimes really heartbreaking to see an almost completely empty audience, sometimes with like 4 or 5 people max... I can see how it can be demoralizing.
Also apparently Bisu also said on his stream something like this :

he said alot of stuff about sc2 and pro scene

he basically said pro team salaries got cut off to the point its more profitable to stream bw on afreeca thant play sc2 in korea
which is a really big point too.

I cant believe I used to dislike this man (After he crushed sAviOr's aura of invincibility - what can I say? I was a rabid fan).
Now I have nothing but respect for him and i'm glad he's back to doing what he loves. I wish you the best, SurgicalToss, in all your endeavours.

Bisu has not yet gotten used to SC1, so he will improve and let fans see his superior mechanics like before. When he gets back to certain level, he will consider to participate in Sonic Starleague.
fuck yes!

Rest in peace, sweet prince. You gave the Protoss many victories and joyful memories.

So much people blame the gameplay, and the mechanics like the reason of the downfall of sc2. they are bad things between the players, but the problem in Korea is that there are not players.
the main reason IMO, is the model. BW was a game a lot cheaper to play in PC bangs back in the 1999, but then in 2010, you needed a license to play, making an easy choose any F2P game to the players, so the late "spawning feature" and the fight kespa-blizzard, bring the result of less overall players in starcraft2.

This interview is pretty much a confirmation of what we expected. It's nice to see these guys streaming on afreeca though, and the snipealot streams are amazing.

What the hell...this is wrong in so many ways.
Guess what I learned to today? That people can actually say something as stupid as this.

Bisu, I can't even begin to describe the happiness you brought to my little teenager heart watching you play Starcraft in the late hours of the night. Forever <3 Bisu

And if they still do this sc2 won't shine still. I know few of my korean friends and about 3 ex pros try out sc2. Guess what? They quit after only 4 months. This ex semi pro shinee played and reached masters in kr server then he quit altogeter and came back to bw. Its simply this: experienced bw players will in no way play sc2 because of something you don't know that differentiates these two games. Many koreans have experienced bw, thus they won't play sc2.
