I don't see why it couldn't happen again at WCG. With WCG being more of a global tournament I can understand why they switched from BW to SC2. SC2 is catching on day by day in the western world for both competitive and casual gamers, whereas BW was left just for the hardcore gamers. It's sad to see the change, but it was one that was necessary. | ||

It's a WORLD championship and there really isn't a scene anymore outside of korea so a world championship would make no sense. Some sort of tourney in Korea would be cool but no idea if that's possible with the schedules of the other tourneys | ||

Looking on the bright side now I have no reason to watch wcg anymore. | ||

And besides, give the current SC2 pros a chance to shine for another year | ||

Edit: Okay, for all the SC2ers who decided to hijack this thread with "bw is officially dead," you should know that Koreans have never ranked WCG high up on importance. Their Korean leagues are far more important and WCG dropping SC will not have any effect on the Korean BW scene. | ||

I know Jaedong still plays, but I was not playing BW so I don't know scene that much. Most famous Boxer moved long time ago. Link to some recent big BW tournament would also be appreciated. Basically none of the really, really good modern BW players left for SC2, only people who are (very) low tier A-teamers, B-teamers, and oooold school gosus who were past their prime in BW. I dunno what exactly you want for a "link to a recent big BW tournament" but you can find proleague, MSL, and OSL VODs on youtube. My favorite channel is Moktira's, he uploads pretty much every single game, and there are TONS of them. The power rank on the right hand sidebar can point you to some good players to watch at the moment. | ||
