If only they didn't have switched on SC2 in Korea... xd


If only they wouldn't have fought the Sc2 release in Korea so badly :p

A sad interview, but atleast we get a bit of bisu playing BW before he is gone.

Isn't he asking for x money/baloons for playing y minute on afreeca?

actually he said stop send me balloons guys !

Balloons?


One donation "balloon" is 7 cents, so his money donations show up as balloons on the afreeca stream

How do I give Bisu balloons then? I figure he deserves some money for having entertained me the last 6 years with his fantastic play.

Bisu so sincere T_T

I would like so much if BW starts to sprout again, from barren earth.
The shiny, artificial, fabricated SC2 collapses, and BW comes to life.

Well, even if it does... kaboom lawsuit.

Even if that happened the backslash would be too big. It would be looking like Blizzard would be afraid of its own 15yo product becoming a competition to their new biggest Esports title. A truly bad image. Thats why i don't believe Blizzard will do anything proactive to stop it. They did a lot to stop it as a side effect of making the deal with Kespa and OGN.

But when it comes to Sonic, Blizzard shouldn't be able to jack shit. Simply too much backslash, corporations don't meddle with such stuff. Blizzard stopping the only BW tournament in Korea? WoW that would be truly a headliner in Korea.

It´s sad that Bisu could never make a splash in SC2. Some transitioned well, others didn´t, part of the process, I guess. Though it sucks to lose him, it´s probably for the best. Gogo Bisuuuuuu!!!!

They will still charge fees, but that's about it, and I think they are well within their rights to do so. Nothing else should be coming up.

1.5k currently watching Bisu which is close to DRG's number lol. Keep in mind that they doesn't have afreeca viewers which is likely several thousands at least. He's going to participate in SSL9, exciting! :D

On stream he said he makes more money playing Afreeca than he would have playing SC2, LOL. That just shows where the money and fanbase lies, considering the fanbase is pretty much directly supporting Afreeca players. GG.

it makes sense, he was pretty terrible at SC2. He admits it as much in the interview too, but the BW elitists chose to ignore that part of his interview and focus on the "SCII sucks" train. He felt badly being bad at the game and went back to the one where he was better.

While I understand his decision, I feel a it's a little bit unfair to his foreigner fans. There are a ton of western/foriegners that loved Bisu and would've gone to see him play - but he was only in Korea and couldn't see it. (Don't get me wrong, I completely respect him, I just wanted to make this point!)

I don't think The Tyrant is going to retire soon, and I think Flash feels the same. Because they saw it. They saw how passionate people are about SC2, and how passionate they are for those players. When Jaedong first played SC2, I did not care that he was not as good as everyone else and just got nerdchills because it's him and he tried to live on the legacy. And now looking at it, it's like BW all over again. Just not Courage, but regular tournaments. And I'm 100% confident that one day he will be the Jaedong we all know again.
Flash, on the other hand, might be different. I think his mindset is still too similar to Bisu's.

Before SC2 was released, BW was actually not as popular as we wanted it to be. MBC Game closing and everything, BW was still on the decline even when SC2 wasn't doing well at all. One could argue that this was because of the SC2 release, but I think in the end I think we can agree to this:

Most fans moved on, either to other games(LoL) or to the "next Starcraft", even though it might not be a "real" Starcraft, or whatever your opinion is.

A programer can now decide to come with us, or leave. Most stayed, some left. This is the way things go in life, and even though it's sad to see the people go, especially when it's a player like Bisu, I look forward to the future we have with our current players. I don't want to make a point here that BW is dead, it's not. Not by a long shot. But when we talk about the eSports scene BW is just not as relevant as we would like it to be(And I am a BW fan, too.). So it kinda feels like "leaving" when players go back to BW.

SC2 is still new compared to what we had in BW. We might not have an MBC Game again, we might not have the old Pro League, but we will definitely have the next best thing!



sigh at the delirium in the sc2 forums..

You've converted me. I now believe in the Church of BSports.

They should have flown out overseas and see that they still have many foreign fans :'(
Beautiful interview, I'll keep following him on his BW stream.


He actually went to the MLG showmatch last year where he got 2nd (to Flash). I believe he was also one of the BW VIPs at Blizzcon two years ago (when they had the GSL finals). So he's seem the overseas enthusiasm for SC2.

I can understand that the home fans having a tepid response matters more to him than the foreign fans though.

Have you guys seen how those fans greeted them at Blizzcon when GSL's final was held there with MVP playing?

In the documentary "State of Play", as Jaedong was leaving, only ONE fan showed up to take pictures and singing with him. If as it is that they don't even know who those legends are.

sadly RTS games are just not the flavor at the moment and for the past few years. so sc2 never really had a chance imho


I don't get this type of reasoning.

Back in early 2000s RTS wasn't the big thing or flavor of the month. CS/FPS was.
During the mid 2000s, Dota/TFT was the biggest thing and with that comes the Moba games that we have now.

RTS was NEVER big since the start of the global E-sport scene.

This is just dumb.
