With such a massive influx of players from Kespa it's only normal that those who either can't keep up or dislike the game to leave.

So its better to play some bw now and then, but let the whole franchise die?

Your comment is idd a Malevolent Creation, ifuknowadamean

They're two different sports nothing is about to die. Players who want to play BW certainly don't owe it to you to play SC2. Let people pick the games they want with devotion and passion and SC2 will be a lot better for it.


Hi Nazgul. I find your reply very valid, although my comment might've been misinterpreted. I didn't mean that Zeros retirement in particular would kill the scene, I just meant that it probably would just hurt the franchise if everyone in general ditched the game blizzard/kespa chose, and went to half/spare time bw

Of course, I also wish Zero well, and hope that he will find satisfaction with whatever he will now do

If the game is not attractive enough it should not be inflated artificially by coercing people into playing it. If it's a big enough problem to hurt the franchise then the franchise simply isn't good enough. The solution is then to improve the game, not pretend to like it.

Well, most ex-BW players retire because they find Broodwar more attractive compared to SC2.
I do not think that SC2 will die because of that
And if it was the case :
- SC2 will die like BW died because of SC2 ?
- You cannot force people who don't enjoy SC2 to stay. They might get better salary on SC2 but they have the guts to retire to live their passion. This explains a lot.
- This would maybe change Blizzard behaviour to make SC2 more interesting ?

Now hope that Zero will be back on Broodwar !

TotalBiscuit, I know this is off topic, but I recently read the gamasutra article on you and as a game developer hope that everything turns out well for you.

Too many retirements. We should instead see the rise of new players.

The game is only 3 years old.

Sad.

We do see that, but those don't get a news article. They just slowly be more prominent.

What does this sentence mean? Someone help me plz, is this trying to take a shot at Zero or just saying he wanted to retire, so he didn't join any team.

Whatever gets your drama-juices flowing more, obviously.

But it just means that teams knew he was retiring before the twitter announcement.

Zero wanted too much money from Woongjin, and no one else wanted to pay that much. So he was given the prospect of either lowering his salary or going team less.

Then I will choose to believe the drama one. The only place without drama is where nobody lives.
