I would like to say that around 60% of my gamer friends are into MOBAs, 20% are into those FB tetris competition, 15% are into FPS, 5% are into MMOs. So it is a temptation. What is funny is that exactly a year ago, 70% were hooked in SC2. Now barely anyone even mention the game anymore while I have been asked "How is Brood War going for you?" In a sense though LoL promotes a sense of teamwork spirit that RTS games don't offer. The game can be extremely addicting to skype around while playing and chating with my pals. Despite of that, I have sworn allegiance to BW and will probably introduce the game to my offspring. I live in the GTA region in Canada and honestly I was going to organize a LoL tournament for high schools across the provinces because there are certainly people from foreign facilities that play the game around. I wanted to legitmize electronic gaming in the west and make an cultural impact. With LoL being so fun and such, I think that if I had thought of the idea prior to merely 3 month left and blast right when the schoolyear began, we could have tournaments every single months that every member can pour in 5 dollars in and with 100 schools participating and lets say 10 players on each team. That's 5K of price money. And later, the finals could be hosted in the auditorium to gain further popularities with the gaming community. It could truly spread awareness to the public as one of my friend's relative owns the City Newspaper and another one of my friend's mom is an executive at a city-wide TV broadcast station. Man, just thinking about the magnitude of this project and where it can take electronic gaming just baffles me. There could be potential interviews on the core people that made this possible to which Brood War can once again be refreshed in the public's mind. | ||

He is saying that Dota 2 contains many harder mechanics than League of Legends. Where LoL oversimplified things to gain interests from the masses That is similar to SC2 where they introduced many easy to use interface in order to facilitate the gameplay of BW. | ||

I've said it a few times already, and I'm going to say it again because BW really is that important: You'd think KeSPA would heed such facts and try to revamp BW rather than transition to SC2, or worse still, attempt this awful hybrid system. Surely the state of BW can't be beyond repair considering the date for such crowd turnouts were as early as December of last year. | ||

So many teams are disbanded. Sponsors are impossible to find and now they are relying on SK Telecom for PL and KeSPA sponsorship for Team 8. It's pretty much SC2 or bust at this point. | ||

The kespa exhibition event proved these players are improving to top level players and will show more than we have seen so far in proleague. Flash is amazing. Also, people who pretend brood war is so different that build order wins don't exist or big advantages due to one attack or harass don't simply end the game sometimes are either delusional or don't understand brood war very well either. Starcraft 2 comes down to "1 battle games" about as often as Brood War does. | ||

At least we can still play the game, and that's something that won't change no matter how things in Korea go. | ||

I think a lot of people here really hope bw could stay longer, but the reality is it's going down whether you like it or not | ||
