If CSL switches to SC2, I'd be excited to get in touch with the UCI team and play.

BW is really dwindling, and you can expect to see a huge surge in playership for SC2 and thus CSL.

It's not like hopping on SC2 and trying to communicate is at this point any better. If anything, communicating in a BW + SC2 format is easier than communicating in an SC2-only format imo.

also, this is a very good idea and not hard to organize once we get used to it. coordinating games on sc2 is such a headache that putting in a couple bw games makes things easier lol

let's please do this

Yeah, for all of you who are waiting for the confirmation, we're staying with BroodWar for another season at least.

Reason is 1) July 27 gives people ~2 months, no more to play the game. And that's assuming we all rush to the local Gamestop/BestBuy/etc. on the release date (assuming the release date isn't moved).
2) as of now, we don't think Battle.net 2.0 will be up to snuff for what we want/need for competitive play.
3) even some of those who prefer SC2 have to admit, there will never be a game quite like BroodWar.
4) More people have expressed interest in staying bw rather than switching to SC2. By this I mean emails, old coordinators, etc.

While we're not going to stay "BW FOREVER!!", we will have to give ourselves time to judge Battle.net 2.0 after it comes out first. In the Spring we'll reassess the situation and hopefully be able to make the switch.

Don't be mad ^^.

Reading that conversation it would seem that the 'obvious' answer was switching to SC2

But if you're staying BW then that I think will be quite a serious blow to you guys for garnering any sponsorship or anything that might have been pursued. I don't know where you guys gathered your data from but I would think over 50% of people would want to switch over to SC2 and I can almost guarantee that moving on to SC2 will increase the amount of interest at least 2-3x. Seeing as how much membership on TL has increased since February 19th.

It is definitely the CSL's decision to make and not just the players, but I think it would be a huge mistake to stay on BW. You are literlaly losing hundreds of players this way.
