your welcome. but I caught the end of last season (and OSL obv) too I just didn't talk to anyone.
^_^ + Show Spoiler +
whoa shit gets weird when you try to tlpd a korean name. I had no idea that even worked. That's amazing. TLPD staff are the greatest.

Good shit, a lot like the resurgence in BW after Sc2 first got announced, though I think that was a lot of people coming back. A lot more new people this time, though they won't get to experience WL and MSL 
|
I think after the whole SC BW dying discussions happened, a lot of people wanted to watch since there has been a LOT of BW talk leaking into SC2 discussions lately. It's great, and you can see that the scene is still incredibly big in Korea. Idk why, but there also seems to be even more people in Korea or at least more passion in these first few games. I'm not too sure how aware they are of BW's state or if they feel BW will die out soon in the same way a lot of international people seem to predict. But from what I saw, it's gonna be like much longer than a year for that to happen. Comparing SC2 to SC1 Korean scenes it's not even close.
Also, seems like the S class players are showing as dominating performances as ever (except jaedong's hiccups). Also nice to not hear shit about balance every god damn page.

Personally I love the part where they took out the ace match and now KT looses 3-2 back to back
Jokes aside,the best part about the PL is to find "your" team and that special player for yourself and cheer for them(apart from spectating the amazing games as well ofc)

I watched through pretty much the majority of last season,but never dared to post in LR's much because I was too much of a nub and had sooo many questions.But if you ask a question you actually get a lot of responses explaining to you what is the deal and no hostile posts like a lot of people think for some reason.
The only thing I don't understand is why there won't be a grand final:<

O SHIT LOL HAHAHA.
Everything makes sense now,I completely misunderstood now that I read it again http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=286214
For some reason I thought the 2 best teams will be declared the winners at the end and there will be no epic showdown to see who's the best.Made no sense that way.
This just made my day.Thank you!

Sayle's restream of PL with english commentary is immensly helpful for sparking my interest in SCBW. Having someone tell you whats going on is waaay easier to follow than to start crawling around liquipedia trying to find the exact pieces of information. Also (and please bear with me here, I know a lot of the oldschool BW followers are really into their korean commentators, which is perfectly okay) it is easier to understand whats happening if you don't have to think, oh god commentators getting excited, wtf am I missing again. To me the korean commentators, as much energy and emotion they bring to the game, are just distracting me from trying to follow the action. And following the action is hard enough if you've, like me, never ever played a single 1v1 of BW in your life.
Everything I know about BW I learned from reading PL/MSL/OSL writeups on TL, and while the information there is really well organized and beginner friendly, it's incredibly hard to really retain all that information from a text. I love watching BW, I sometimes watched it before Sayle's rebroadcast, and loved it back then as well, but seeing the game, having a friendly person tell you whats happening, and actually understanding whats going on makes the whole experience 10 times better. I got into Sc2 through Husky and HD, and now Sayle is able to pull me further into the wonderful world of professional Brood War
What amazes me most about Broodwar is how incredibly mapped out every strategy is and how precise people are able to play and execite such a complicated game. That level of detail is just not there yet in SC2 and that is what makes wachting BW so amazing for me, it's a little bit of a look into the future, while looking at the past at the same time.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you Sayle, as well as every other person investing time to make TL the amazing Brood War Place it is. Each and every single one of you deserve a fucking award. I am sorry for not beeing able to call out people by name, but this well oiled BroodWar machine you?we? teamliquid anyways has going will never die as long as you are here, keeping it awesome!
If any of the above Text has offended you as a BW veteran, I want to humbly apologize. It is not my intention to spark controversy, I just want to express my love for 2 games that are entirely different, but at the same time a little bit similar as well If you're a SC2 person offended by this, man up and appreciate this wonderful game, without which "our" sc2 would not exist.

I watched a couple of matches last season and trying to follow it more closely now. For me BW is just sooo exciting to watch and especially now when i'm starting to understand more of it bit by bit.
Another awesome thing is finding out which team and player to root for. Which playstyles i like, what race etc etc. Havent figured that out completely yet as i've seen to little of it. Always watch Flash games, but on the same note i kinda like rooting a bit for an underdog. So that will take someone before im a fanboy of someone
Team8 fighting though haha

always watched BW*, only started posting because of sc2, there are alot of us out there like me. i can only hope you see that sc2 players just enjoy a good game no matter which platform (BW, SC2) and to stop criticizing sc2, when we also enjoy BW. ^^

I enjoy watch BW and its nice to get some helpful posts or comments in chat. But the only thing I as a SC2 entrant into the whole SC scene want is for people to stop shitting on SC2 and its players in the LR.
Some of the forum vets out there just enjoy being condescending and in general douchebags the few times I have stayed up for the live restreams of PL.

you should also listen to NukeTheStars while he doesn't cast all PL games(hes is strictly an OSL guy) hes most awesome too!
can't wait for OSL to see him cast in full swing again.

Started watching towards the end of last season, really enjoying it so far :D
Familiarising myself with more players (only knew the biggest names before), getting used to the more common strategies etc.
Watching BW for me is like watching SC2 without my glasses on, I can't really tell whats going on, I don't know what units are what but the commentary gets me excited!
Always admired the game from afar but I've been trying to watch it whenever it's on and then catch Sayle's english casts when I get a chance to try to learn more.

mm, in the past, they had the winner of each season play each other in a Grand Final. But this is ok too I guess

I picked a random team to follow all season long, to spice things up (despite being a CJ fan back in ~2008 when I was kind of following the scene).
I got STX
T_T
My favourite series so far was ACE vs KT, some sloppy play but it was awesome to see ACE do so well, really enjoyed Piano's and FBH games ^^
SC2 has awesome live fans but we need Korean fangirls (although at Providence you could hear a fair few girls cheering for HuK )
