You guys know that one single sentence from either Sean, Nick, or Dan that goes "Oh yeah btw there is a Brood War tournament that will be going on @ (insert time here), you can check out more information at (post the thread/information link)" can one single handily revive the foreign Brood War interests.
But we all know why they wouldn't do it.
To them, it's already dead. I think this quote from Artosis' blog sums it up quite nicely:
By the end of StarCraft 1...
They are the cause of it.
No. No they aren't.
You are gonna sit there and tell me that if Day[9] still kept doing BW dailies in conjunctions with StarCraft 2, the foreign BW fanbase wouldn't increase? ....
I'd take that bet sure.
Thought so. |

I wouldn't mind paying like $50-$100 per season of BW, it would be great.
Also concerning Blizzard, I think if they keep SC2 league, they would not care that much about also BW league having there. But currently SC2 is boring as hell, so Starcraft is dead for me, when BW ends  . |

Can't believe I read 11 pages of thread, <3 kona.
What we need to do, is ask OGN what WE need to do. Organize an online petition, maybe a few comments, maybe some fan pics, just to show the foreign scene's support. Maybe someone make a video compilation of boxer's era, to flash's, ending with the last semifinals match Zero and Jangbi's "Last Push" game 4 (for some glitter). Whatever, we need to do this now before the OSL finals start. We need to ask OGN what we need to do to keep BW alive. I know I'd be willing to shell out a one time twenty bucks, and lets say a 5$ PPV type deal, if that's what it takes to keep this train rollin. Who knows.
All I nose, fk MC, fk SC2. Brood war, one time.
What did MC ever do to you |

?? as in no i don't agree with you lmao
And your argument is completely flawed. You're saying they are the reason bw is dead. What you're trying to say is they aren't doing anything to help it. Day9, artosis and tasteless didn't kill bw. The matchfixing scandal probably hit bw hardest, followed by the debut of sc2 and LoL driving sponsors even further away. Sure day9 artosis and tasteless could do more to help bw, but they aren't the cause of bw's death.

There's a difference between killing bw, and deciding to not save it.
In Japanese they have a phrase for this: 見殺し meaning something along the lines of "to watch and let die." The characters used are literally the same used in "to see" and "to kill."
In moral philosophy the issue of whether there is a substantial moral difference between inflicting or allowing harm is an often contested one and can't be so easily decided by one man simply saying one position is the case.
Regardless what we have now is a situation where BW is fading everywhere, and it is within the power of some people to kindle or rekindle that flame. |

I don't think this is the right time to start pointing fingers, it isn't constructive, we can't press a class-action law suit and make blizzard focus into BW again, let's focus on what we can do now. |

Change of events, Rysecake have indicated that he didn't actually perform the killing himself but watched it burn right under his nose. |

I'd take that bet sure.
Thought so.
?? as in no i don't agree with you lmao And your argument is completely flawed. You're saying they are the reason bw is dead. What you're trying to say is they aren't doing anything to help it. Day9, artosis and tasteless didn't kill bw. The matchfixing scandal probably hit bw hardest, followed by the debut of sc2 and LoL driving sponsors even further away. Sure day9 artosis and tasteless could do more to help bw, but they aren't the cause of bw's death.
L2R on the foreign part plz.
Well...I don't think they care too much about foreign sc1 lol
That's just your opinion isn't it.
Not really, if they did care about foreign sc1 they would have promoted it more wouldn't they
Now we are finally identifying the culprit of foreign BW.
Wow, I never knew Day9 had such power of people, to kill an entire game off himself!
Change of events, Rysecake have indicated that he didn't actually perform the killing himself but watched it burn right under his nose.
Did he laugh while smoking a cigar? Remember this is the same man who dedicated many, many years to the game with basically zero financial incentive. |

I don't have much idea but i like the idea of funding project from http://www.kickstarter.com/
Many people every now and then say something about how much they would pay to watch BW so if we can somehow create a StarLeague project that able to rise enough funding, not only it will increase the exposure of BW to many but also show how significant the support of fans for BW out there are. It can be either an OSL event for Korean players or some kinda event like PL but with foreign teams but that I have no idea in detail, those from Kespa or sponsors need to figure this out since it's their expertise but it might worth trying.
Edit: Sorry, didn't see the crowd-funded leagues in the OP
If the league is something for Korean players only like PL or OSL, using kickstarter won't be appropriate but something like an afreeca stream might do as Korean netizens can give donation there. A grand league like PL or OSL is also too large of the scale for a crowd-funded unless we have some major sponsor but other than that an event-like league like the match of most voted people that I forgot the name in which Leta played double with boothgirl and TBLS played offrace could work. If we want a serious competitive league for individual then something with the KOTH format or a mini OSL with 8 players with most significant representatives of races, against we need vote like the above league but since this is what the crowd-funded, might as well let them see people they like the most. The funding can is for a prize pool and event site. The purpose of the league is to show sponsors how much of a crowd are still there for the game and whether or not, all the problem with match-fixing, lawsuit and such has died down.
For a league with foreigners that will be able to raise fundings from kickstarter, there is the problem of only foreign minor teams and players (without major sponsor) as well as large skill gap between Koreans and non-Koreans so again, having something like foreigners in OSL or PL is not possible. Given the China's OSL league and the attention BW still have there, give it a second try to enter the China market would be the best shot imo. It can be a WCG-liked league with BW stars invited or a mini PL league with team from China, US, Europe and Korean to compete. The funding would be first to assemble players and form team of nations, then the transportation and accommodation fee, in general cost for foreign representative teams. Other cost such as renting event site, prize pool, PR and advertising is to considered between broadcasting stations and any possible sponsor to see how much they can afford and how much more is needed. The goal is to see how much foreign attention BW can have in comparison to their choice of starting SC2 and the most likely market here is China with their teams, leagues they maybe able to work out some kinda international league to develop BW outside Korea as well as keep the scene alive in SK.
Edit 2: With how many brilliant highlight videos we have, I believe we can create one that is influential enough to persuade people, especially with all the moments and emotion from the recent Jangbi -Zero semifinal. Last edit: 2012-07-14 07:01:30 |

problem is, kickstarters are for a product which would have a profit return, we are looking to continue a league or a professional competition, it's way more costly and the returns are non descript unless we were marketing it towards a pay-per-view or TV audience. |

Then SC2 came out and you can guess the rest. |
