its odd that a player with such succes in sc2 goes streaming bw. Is it just because they all adore playing sc1 more or is it because its not possible to do the same thing (afreeca bj) with sc2?

Most likely yes. If they really enjoyed sc2 as a game, they would keep playing.

Actually, i think most pro gamers dont even like sc2 as a game really. They play sc2 because its only 1v1 game with real esport and its kinda okay game.

I don't remember anyone streaming sc2 on afreeca, just isn't lucrative on a purely korean market compared to twitch where you'd get more viewers all over the world especially since SC2 is more popular outside korea.

Rain is someone who worked hard to become a progamer playing BW, he became a progamer to play BW, its his roots regardless of what success hes made as an SC2 player.

All the bw fanatics coming here and explaining (again) how noone could ever enjoy playing sc2 when he played BW before.
It's hilarious really.

I bet him streaming BW (which isn't even confirmed that it's him afaik?) has nothing to do with BW being way more lucrative on afreeca. Srsly this level of stupidity is making me angry every single time

I never said that he didn't enjoy playing SC2, if it was for some reason even implied then let me set it straight, his best moments of his career has been playing SC2, I'm sure his best memories will also be of the same time, doubt anyone is arguing otherwise. what I'm saying is simply this, he trained to become a BW progamer, he was already a progamer when he started SC2.

It isn't ridiculous. It happens every single time. Don't even try to deny it.
You know what? I too will watch Rain on afreeca when he starts streaming, it will be interesting to watch.
But all these stupid remarks of BW guys every single time something like this happens? Srsly?
It is so fucking childish and just proves the notion most sc2 people have of bw (people).

These comments are the only reason you NEVER can talk about bw in a design thread because you will just hear "bw elitist" every single time, i understand why and cannot even fault the people thinking that after reading all the mental garbage real bw elitists bring EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME to these threads.

Rant over, won't respond to anyone else because the thread doesn't deserve this direction tbh. Still had to be sad.

You forgot the "why is this posted in the sc2 section? this should be moved to bw!"

I totally agree with you. I'm determined to follow Flash if he goes to BW, but it's gonna be hard to participate in the LR threads :'(

I've spent like 10 minutes writing and erasing text trying to explain it, but I can't find the right expressions (I suck at English), and I don't wanna start and argument. In short: it will feel bad having to read all those comments (those that Viper mentioned) on a regular basis and the general negative tone when talking about SC2.

Wat

I don't know if you've spent much time in the BW section but most of us don't care/are indifferent about SC2 in general outside of a few people making the odd comment or two about a person playing sc2

God damn it viper you make us all out to be angry and bitter people.

You seem okay but the BW section in general does seem super salty and bitter to me. Not saying everyone is like that but so many that it becomes the general impression. And then you get a lot of these bitter interactions in the other forums here, in /r/starcraft etc. Sad really...

This has been even reflected in the english casting for VANT starleague.

they are past BW player of course people have right to say "welcome back to bw" or "they prefer bw to sc2". if say Parting retire nobody will go to thread and say he join BW, never.

do not know why sc2 fan are so triggered and coming with stupid rants like "NO BROOD WAR, ONLY SC2 GOOD" rant. so funny and ignorant.

they bring that crap childish ignorant yet pretend know-it-all (think they know how to balance game they themselves never play) attitude everywhere of course people get angry. sc2 are the real trollers

and we will always have people like you viper. The parallelism is uncanny. At the end of the day you cannot force people to keep playing a game they just don't care to play anymore and you hear it from foreigners all the time when they say it's a job, which it should be and many of them just lose the passion or it just doesn't become fun anymore where there are still a lot of guys who get enjoyment out of BW even when they were working in a sweat shop environment.

The hilarity goes both ways.

Wow. Hit's me right in the feels. If there was any player i ever called a favourite, it was him. His name, and play style resonated with me a ton. Haven't played for a while, and watch sporadically, but this is tough. Good Luck Rain!
