Grats to CJ/OGN.
Professional BW - it's been real.
Peace!

You know, it feels really weird, but I felt more excited when SKT beat KT than when Effort, my favorite player, closed it out for CJ
Damn Bisu v Flash being better than every single sc2 game I've ever seen

Given the terrible turnouts and clearly decline overall interest, makes me wonder whether KeSPA regrets the decision to switch games now, especially since there is really no going back.
At least from what I gather from bits I hear and looking at the attendance at games I'm not sure how much longer KeSPA will be around if they don't start capitalizing on the international markets and soon.

When money is involved, going back is never out of the question. I think if fans and KeSPA players were to unite and demand the return of BW, it would probably happen. It's the same I've been repeating over and over: KeSPA wanted to off BW because sponors apparently didn't want anything to do with it, but sponsors care about money above all else, and the ratings during the last OSL and pre-hybrid Pro League were as strong as ever.
Anywho, it's unlikely, but it could happen.

So the hybrid league is over. I have to say I didn't really care much about it. Gratz to CJ for winning though.
|
What a tourney, man, hard to see it end
|
Of course the only time CJ can win a team league grand finals is when no one gives a shit anymore -.-
like 23 pages for an SPL grand finals thread. Real.

So the last televised BW game ever is Snow vs Shine? In any case, I kinda wish they swapped the SC2 and BW lineups... for both teams...

I don't see Kespa teams sustain such high salaries like in BW times, do you? The players might get significantly more money than GSL players but i see many A-teamers just retiring after a huge drop in salary.

The saddest thing about this finals is that I don't even really care that Khan lost so badly. And I'm generally quite emotionally involved in how well Khan does as well as Stork/Jangbi in individual leagues. Heck, I was more emotionally distressed by Khan's loss to Oz in the 2007 SPL finals, and I saw that one on VOD... and knew the result beforehand.
I doubt I'll ever care about esports nearly as much as I used to back in the BW days.
|
This just felt like bleh. Is the hallf of fame up anywhere, though?
|
Seemed like his PL was shit. There wasnt even a thread talking about where the finals would be held at. No hype thread or anything. Khan got rolled. Seemed like they really only practice for SC2 and tried to win where it really matter.
Kespa should have killed BW last season and gone straight sc2 if they wanted to phase out BW. SKT vs KT should've been the final BW PL. It was a final that went down till the very end.
|
And so the abomination is put to rest.
RIP!

These last games were both quite good ones, with Horang2 making a miraculous comeback (ok I know toss needs only to a-move, but still he had to do muuuuuuch work to win this), and Snow playing an interesting unit-combo drop strategy on Shine. The only bad thing about them is that they were the LAST. T_T Moletrap are you trolling again?
-These last few games were a putrid pile of s**t
-And BW is still having tournaments run.

People just aren't excited by SC2. The BW games were miles ahead regarding entertainment.
