Tasteless, Artosis, Idra, Day9, Ret, NonY, and WhiteRa were all BW pros, yes? Why would they have that many BW players on this thing and not play any SC:BW? | ||

It's a celebration of the history not just the last few years.Wow cool! SC2 getting 20 years old? Very nice of Blizzard to make an event for SC2's 20th birthday coming up in 2030. Seriously though, why oh why would you make Starcraft I's 20th anniversary event about SC2 pretty much? Seriously this shit is starting to annoy even BW people that aren't that opposed to SC2 like me. Why invite a "Livibee" or a "HuK" or a "PiG" or a "UpaTreeZelda"? Why not invite some koreans that can speak english reasonably well, f.e. JD and Sea and have them play a Best-Of-Seven of seven legendary maps throughout BW history (Lost Temple, Gaia, Luna, Andromeda, FS, etc etc) Why not invite people that stuck with BW after SC2? Like a Bonyth or an EonZerg or anyone that can talk about the history of BW after SC2? You act as if "sticking with Brood War" was some sort of grand sacrifice on your part. Let's be serious here you just kept playing an old game. That's fine, but they aren't handing out medals for it. Don't get me wrong, you can also invite one or two SC2 personalities since the forced switch of the korean pro scene had a severe impact on the current korean BW scene, but this feels like it is more about SC2 than about the "birthday child" aka Starcraft 1. And hence it feels like the people organizing this are shitting onto the legacy of BW, by just thinking about the BW history prior to SC2 and then it will probably be all about what happend in SC2. Sorry that feels like a betrayal to every BW fan that stuck around with BW after SC2. What they're doing is inviting the people who are or were popular because that's what makes sense. The rest of that paragraph where you rage about shitting on BW is... not to be taken seriously be reasonable people. But I could be wrong. I never followed the community that closely... | ||

Idra and Nony got a pro gaming license for kespa during their career. [Both invited, not by winning a courage tournament.] Ret came short in the semis of a courage iirc. White-ra was a talented player, but amateur aswell. Tastosis and day 9 never made it that far as players, they were not playing at the top level 2008- 2009ish anymore too. They got the most reputation from casting and events. They were strong players of course, but you wouldn't find them in the top 16 of a tournament for foreigners often.

I hope you won't mind if I dispute you here a bit, as I do have a particular bit of experience here. First, the idea that there "was no such thing" as a full-time foreign BW pro is false on all levels. While full-time pros in Korea were rare, even the very best players in the world have been foreigners (Grrr and to a lesser extent Elky). I don't wish to get into an argument full of semantics, but let's agree for the sake of terminology that a "professional" is anyone who participates in a job for a reasonable amount of money. By that definition, you're going to have to include Idra, NonY, ret, and White-Ra as pros. You say White-Ra was an amateur but by what conceivable measurement? He literally did pro gaming as a full-time job for half of a decade. You're unfairly denigrating the quality of these players by establishing an arbitrary definition of the word professional. It would be like suggesting that someone in an office isn't a professional if they only earn 30k because the CEO is making millions of dollars a year. As for "Tastosis" I'll give you that Tasteless was never at the level of the others. He was a very good American player, but wasn't at the level of Artosis or Day[9] as top Americans (still not pros). | ||

They'll probably tell the same stories they told the previous times as well. I know right? And it will be just as entertaining.. aka more entertaining than just about everything else. Sit back and enjoy the show my little anger muffin. | ||

I understand why Blizzard would go to the same well considering the viewership of the previous events and why you'd want to do it (getting paid to joke, reminisce and play Starcraft sounds like a lot of fun), but not all viewers like to see the same thing over and over again. If I want to watch the best of iNcontroL, I'll pull up old HSC vods like Rogue Zest on New Gettysburg at HSC XIV. | ||

Everyone obviously has their own preferences in StarCraft events, and casters obviously feel shitty when someone's first response to an event is 'I don't like you.' Please go have this argument elsewhere. A thread announcing an event isn't the place to have a discussion of the content of the event? Are you serious? | ||
