Maybe GG.net will come win to make a slightly less prestigious league, the GG*SL, equivalent somewhat to the MSL. WGTCL being broadcast as ProLeague = GG  | ||

But this is very silly how dumb game creators are, starcraft is the best rts EVER but ffs, everyone else has had 10 YEARS to do a better game (yes, you can make a better game) or atleast a game that would work as a global e-sport. But more or less every game has been a fail, I think SC2 will join up with them. | ||

Only Blizzard have created succesfull esport RTS games ever in history(2 of them), so if we have anything to bet on its them. SC2 will be huge, thats a given, the only question is if it will beat starcraft in greatness or not. | ||

Better Yet, make episodes like Real Life Progamer or some sort of a progaming movie, like Remember the Lecaf or Boxer I/II/III/IV/V/VI, etc. that would give mbc/ogn more time to put those kinds of things on  Having to resort to gimmicks (kind of like the ceremonies ; [) isn't a good sign. | ||

I mean, OK maybe hanbit is thinking of pulling the plug, but that's because they fucking suck! Didn't the last OSL set a new record for viewership? Isn't the GOM TV tournament the largest tournament ever? Aren't there more new players entering than ever? Isn't the foreign community (even us foreigners that watch Korean starcraft) continuing to grow? Didn't they just hire a full time English commentator? Didn't they just launch a minor league? Isn't the Korean navy also thinking about starting a team? All those things, to me, signal that e sports, particularly brood wars, is here to stay. I wish you were here so I could give you a hug. | ||

was SC immediately awesome, or did it take 1-3 years before people began to realise how awesome it was and began to enjoy spectating and competing in it? 1-3 years is a shit-long time i suppose SC was unique in that there wasn´t much before it. with SC2 we´ll know what to look for and will more quickly know how good it really is | ||

UMS's, Team Melee, 3v3s, 4v4s, 1v3s, things like that. Also add small stakes betting to the mix and you'd probably see some more interest. Just keep the mafia out. Zergling Soccer gogogo!

I will say this, Starcraft 2 will be a more successful esport than WC3 because of a lot of reasons -cooler, more manlier setting (gritty sci-fi) compared to the more cartoony fantasy warcraft world. -faster action -more units -more death -no creeping, means more confrontation between the players -etc. | ||

And my other point is I don't really care about Korea in terms of SC2, my hope is that its a worldwide success, I could give a damn about one little country when there's the potential for so many more to be involved. | ||

I also hope that e-sports and SCII in particular will be able to be played at a level of professionalism and organization like chess. | ||

We ll have to wait for the first Korean SC2 tournaments and events to give esport a new breath imo. On a positive note. It will be very entertaining, exciting and fun to see the birth of a new pro scene as SC2 players master new tricks, strategies and blow our minds away with whole new pimpest plays that even your wildest dreams cannot conceive just yet. | ||
