EDIT: I like one game over the other. That doesn't mean that I should hate on the other one, nor the people who like the other game. Please be considerate, and keep the discussions as civil as possible.
Not going to translate the whole article, just the summary. Though, I knew this from long time ago and seems like this article pretty much confirms what someone said before on the fomos forums (Surprising that it came out to be somewhat true).
Seems like Proleague 11-12 Season 2 is going to be STARCRAFT Proleague if things work out fast enough. What this means is that we won't have BroodWar Proleague or SC2 Proleague.
The idea is that odd numbered sets will be BW, and even numbered sets will be SC2. Seems like it will be Bo7 format with ace match, and ace match will rotate between BW and SC2 (not sure how it will work).

Keep in mind that these are still speculations. However, I felt like I needed to post this since this is not the first time I've seen this news.

| If that is the case, then proleague is dead to me. Only OSL will be worth watching at that point. |

| Hm, i wonder if teams would split up into squads that practice only one game, or everybody would practice both. |

i'd rather see one game rather than the mix of games, what the fuck.
this is like mixing special force + counter strike sets in one match.Last edit: 2012-03-24 00:52:50 |

I haven't even started talking on the OSL in this thread to prevent people from raging, but rumors are this upcoming OSL could be the last of BW OSL.Last edit: 2012-03-24 00:55:42 |

Well that would make it awkward, but on one side of the coin it would expose the SC2 fans to the beauty of the BW game since they will also be forced to watch it if they want to watch "SC2 PL", and maybe a lot will be converted over.
I like both games, so this would obviously be okay for me except for the fact if I want to sit down and watch BW I just want to watch BW, same goes with SC2. So I am still on the fence if this will be the format, and by fence I mean I sure as hell hope not!Last edit: 2012-03-24 01:05:31 |

Imagine if this was done in sports. Play football (American) in the first half then football (soccer) the second half. Overtime would be rugby. |

| That's honestly retarded. Imagine it goes to ace match flash vs bisu and only to have them play sc2....lolol. They are basically making a joke out of the whole competition. |

Woo, thats sounds so weird, i really hope it turns out to be great or else it drags both game down to hell.
As from SC2's viewpoint, it a logic move to make sc2 more popular. |
