I play tennis and a little bit of squash. Their only similarity is a racquet & a ball. The racquets are very different. The balls are different. The arena is significantly different. The mechanics on everything is different. The rules aren't even the same. It's more like Starcraft to Supreme Commander where the only similarity is that they're both RTS.
In the eStro coach interview, he said SC2 will replace SC1 and that it wouldn't make sense to have both. I believe SC2 will replace SC1. It will only depend on when after SC2's launch. We have to ask, if the pros are so good then they will adjust to NEW STRATEGIES. Those they don't then that speaks volume how much more mechanics they are than strategy.

Hm as I heard it the coach said SC" will replace bw IF and only if it is good for competition. Personally I believe it will replace it anyway though, and if it isn't as competitive both bw and sc2 will soon be dead.

No it's not about that at all. Obviously there will be SC2 tournaments in Korea.
It's about a slight decline in viewership numbers for SC and Hanbit considering dropping their progaming team, as well as Ace disbanding (HUGE COINCIDENCE: BoxeR just about to finish his military service, can't possible have anything to do with that!).
Validity of this is under contention so read the thread if you want to learn more about it, but no, nothing about SC2 tournaments.

They both use a raquet and a ball, so he UI and units are similar. Different maps and different mechanics separate them, but they're both very related, especially when comparing them to other sports/games.
Use badminton if you're really butthurt over semantics.

SC is healthy.
Whatever.
It's old and healthy.

The real issue at hand is that its not an isolated case. Its not a decision of hmm should we play this new game or stick with the current. Fact is the rest of the world will play sc2 en masse; however, the Korea companies are branching outward and if they wanna keep in line with that goal, they're going to have to switch as well. If they wanna keep things the way they are in Korea though, they have to change nothing.

You are wrong. Starcraft 2 carries over a lot of things that is 90-100% exactly like how it is from Starcraft 1. I also play badminton and I can tell you that a person playing badminton cannot jump into squash. Nor can a squash player jump into tennis. It's a lot more than a racquet & ball. The comparison that is made is from Starcraft 1 to Starcraft 2 which would be like Tennis to Tennis 2, not Tennis to squash. Don't feel "butthurt" being wrong.
I don't want to go too off topic on this thread which has went off many times already so I'll end the comparision here.

I think the current starcraft league models in Korea is crap.
Starcraft at its core is a 1v1 game. it does not make sense to have two league that runs 24/7
what they should've done is follow the tennis model.
grand slams / masters and host across the world.
