Hopefully kespa can knock some sense into browder If thousands of players couldn't do it, i dun think kespa can . Blizz does only what it wants.

I do believe that KeSpa will eventually transition out of broodwar once the last bonjwas have left the game (JD, Flash, Bisu) and nobody can fill in their spots because there is not too much new tallent coming through the gates of Courage (tournament), and really i believe its only a matter of time (i HOPE 3-5 years, i love BW myself) that KeSpa will drop SC:BW completely in either SC2 or another game's favor. I dont share your oppinion in many aspects. And some of your statements are simply false. First: the skillcap of a game has nothing to do with the ammount of pros there are, or how easy it is to become pro. The only thing that matters here is how many viewers a game (esport) has. More viewers means more sponsors means more money in the scene means more spots for progamers. If a game is "easy" its easy for everyone, so becoming a progamer is harder in the "easy" game because the good players have less opportunity to differentiate themselves from the bad ones. Second: i dont understand what you want so say with this part of the sentence: "anybody can play it in gold league and can have quite an easy understanding of the game". Do you really think that every gold league player (or any) has a good understanding of the game? Or that he could become pro? If so i strongly disagree. And Bisu is certaintly not a Bonjwa. (and probably neither Jaedong) | ||

That being said, from the stuff I've read (and I've only been around TL since SC2 started), KeSPA is regarded as somewhere between Satan & Adolf Hitler by retired progamers. I imagine KeSPA isn't going to get as much power over the scene due to the original organizing nature of the Korean SC2 teams. This might actually work out better than expected for everyone, but we'll just have to see. I wonder if KeSPA would do more MLG-like LAN stuff at first? They already run Courage, so they've got the experience running daily LANs. | ||

IMO, BW is a superior game and the entertainment it gives if far more superior than SC2. If SC2 got to this level, I perhaps wouldn't mind BW slowly fading away but I would be sad to see BW go when it's obviously in my opinion the better game to play and watch. Anyway hopefully they can co exist, and it would be good to have multiple sc2 leagues in Korea. | ||
