yeah the initial post you replied too wasn't really fair. But put it into context pls:

Rumors, about SoulKey are gone as he said himself many times in stream he likes to play SC2.
I love the idea of LoveTV with big prizemoney and there should be cups like that for more oldschool games (original quake 3,WarCraft 3, DotA 1 or CS1.6), but it's nothing else than few shots and I can safely say that no revival will happen. All of the guys are playing it because of nostalgy,memories and fact that they can meet with some of the retired players (TT1,HayprO etc...)
It is not a hate,regardless Im already pissed of those guys who are going around koreans SC2 streams and constantly spamming come back to BW!... BW era is done its more like good old game to play (:...
Just accept the fact even if smthing like that happen u never get a constant profitable models to attract sponsors in EU and NA
basically this guy is saying: BW is over, deal with it. Honestly, those kinda comments make me mad too. And while it is exaggerated, it is true that the age demographic of sc2 is different from BW and that BW is more popular in Korea than Sc2. €: Elitism? if your only referring to demeaning remarks, i agree. But most users here simply like Sc1 over Sc2 for a couple of reasons, that is just how many of us feel about the game(s). And many do so with good reason, as they have played their fair share of both games, which you can't claim for the elitists on the other side of the table often enough in short i feel:Expressing that opionion in the BW subforum is a legit thing.

"ure forgetting that sc2 is really only populair with a bunch of teenage foreign kids like urself nobody in kr watches it"
is elitism?
yes its hyperbole but its not a totally false statement either. ask any kid and most of them would favour sc2 more over BW due to sc2 being a more "modern" game and also inexperience with BW. And I don't feel elitist about that, only pity for these kids for not being able to appreciate BW.
and ignore pharophobia, hes obviously ignorant and loves to passive aggressive flame/insult others (look at his history)

You said it was only popular with kids, which isn't borne out by my experience.
People still forget quite how difficult and time-intensive it is to be competent at SC2. Less so than Brood War but a lot harder and stressful than most other modern big titles.
There are teens who play it, obviously. I'd still say the majority of players who are very invested are older, people who grew up with BW, AoE, CnC and WC3 and still love to play RTS

i already said its a hyperbole, so its not "only". and that was not my statement.
