would suck if it end, wouldnt be to surprised, but would suck cause sc2 is finally getting to the point were it can be really good and the huge patch coming soon making mech strong and other cool shit that can make it a great game finally(We Will see,. but there is potential), so it would be really bad if one of the best tournaments just goes away. sad that it took blizzard to start fixing there game 6 years later since they wanted our money for 3 games rather than make a great game at the start.

Too volatile. See this picture; It`s Ro.4 after Flash dropped. There are 7 people at the venue.




This is a good rebuttal of all the "lets go back to bw" fans.

Sure, there will always be a fanbase for it, but is there any reason to believe that it will do better than sc2 now? Nothing i have seen or read can back that up.

And i think i am part of the group of people who only started watching competitive SC2 and never knew about the competitive BW scene.

If SC2 PL gets dropped and goes back to BW, there is no way i watch it. I am just not interested in it. So you can't even bank on sc2 fans all going back to support the BW scene.


lol take 2 of the the most least popular sc2 gamers and tell them to play in ro8 in a game not backed by kespa and blizzard and lets see what happens. I believe the crowd was always this low even during 2009 of bw when some random progamers played

random gamers that accidentally made the ro4?
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

Goodbye Korean scene. It was an epic journey which left us with a lot of great games and great memories.

I don't know if this means anything, but hey it's always fun to speculate i guess.

Korean sc2 without proleague would be extremely bland to say the least.
Does have bw (hd) the potential to get big (enough) in korea again? Who knows, i just know that the korean youtube vods of ASL get around 30k viewers while sc2 gets like 3k.

Overwatch might be a thing in the future, but i still think it sucks as viewing experience so i don't know if havign fun in pc bangs is enough to sustain an esports scene.
Interesting times ahead, that's for sure.


edit: considering that waxangel opened the thread shit is serious though, damn

It would suck for KeSPA to throw all the primarily SC2 players under the bus and go back to a BW Proleague. I'd hope that there would be dual leagues or that Afreeca would at least revive the GSTL.

Would make sense. Rosters are already pretty thin and the offseason retirements won't make it better. CJ or MVP will probably disband over the offseason, and Kespa might not want a 6-team Proleague. Looks like the lack of new blood in SC2 is finally catching up to it.

Nah Sbenu is known in Korea to only concentrate on the PR and not R and D so the company won't last long or the sponsorship won't

Sad new for SC2. I hope SPL will come back on BW to maintain Starcraft PL alive.

What about previous years? I never paid attention to this but did they announce the next season at the conclusion of the finals?

Hm, due to the time it play usually I never got to watch sc2 proleague, so this sucks, but I couldn't watch it anyway :/. I like both bw and sc2 so I do hope they can do one of the two games next year and not ditch both.
When I think of something else, something will go here

No one's fault but our own. And a few shady sponsorships...and matchfixers, but mostly us

Last year the new season was announced to happen at the day of the finals. Although later on the KeSPA chairman said in an interview that it was hard to get a main sponsor, so maybe KeSPA is just being careful not announcing anything before it's truly set in stone this year.

It would be pretty much drain the scene out of sponsors / team houses and only the B teamers who did not switch keep playing. Like bringing "Guilty" (Samsung) vs "Odin" (MVP) RO4. Those B teamers got their level up while grinding without a scene to back them up. Since they did not make crowd in early days they won't be able to do now.

ProLeague returning to Brood War would be phenomenal. Just the thought of it is making me more excited than it should.
