I guess Kespa was keeping me from reaching my potentional too, because I used to be D+, now I`m in masters.

What the hell are you talking about? Zergbong just flat out sucked, and iron was good but chocked in televised matches. Hardly Kespa's fault.

Are you sure this article isn't about them trying to work out the Broodwar contract that was a huge deal a few months ago?

it's more likely to put the current SC2 players out of jobs.
Memorize the first page of the BW elo ranking, because that's going to be the front page of the SC2 Korea elo ranking if this happens

Kespa is not going to abandon BW, it still gets much more viewers than SC2 (~500k for an osl/msl final).
source?

This whole incident between GOM, Kespa and Blizz feels like a bad, bad love triangle. Blizz wanted Kespa, but Kespa played hard to get and showed zero interest. Blizz looked elsewhere for satisfaction and found GOM. GOM and Blizz gets married but Blizzard's heart has/is with Kespa. GOM finds out Blizz has been sneaking behind its back with Kespa.... and the drama continues. Stay tuned for the next episode. ...That sounded so homo, but it actually makes sense. how is it in any way homo? because you're a sexist and assumed all these corporations are men, thats why.
Last time I checked, all the representatives in those companies are men.

If the KeSPA training regiment kicks in then it's possible, but there's no way that the likes of NesTea will be second-class.
Speaking of NesTea, in BW he played 2v2s and then coached. MC was put into proleague before he was ready. Nada, Boxer etc won starleagues, and they're not top ELO. I agree that the top BW players would do well but your comment is a bit over the top imo

They've seen the success of foreign sc2 leagues and now they want to jump into the market as well. this is laughable. the game isn't about its graphics. and if you actually think they'd replace bw with maverick's sc2bw, that's a joke. it isn't broodwar, it's not even cutting it as far as mechanics go. bw still has a lot of popularity, and still has a lot of time before it just phases out. to suggest that graphics is what people are looking for just shows that you have little clue as to what you're talking about -_-.
Graphics may not matter for seasoned fans like you, but it does matter to casual viewers. (people who watch Husky's and HDStarcraft's stream)
And it's always better to cater to the lowest common denominator.
That's common business practice.

nada hasn't been good since 2007
boxer hasn't been good since 2005 (Sorry Emperor, I still love you)
july hasn't been good since 2006, aside from one lucky run in 2008 where he faced all protosses who were godawful at pvz on his way to his third title
All the players who are good NOW would dominate sc2 after like a month of serious practice

Blizz stoped WC3 because the Scene is dead! All the good pros went to SC2 and the fanbase went to SC2, too! It's like the IEM thing with Quake, if the scene is dead and no one wants to see the games, they will stop to support it.

Why the fuck do people think the entire scene revolves around TBLS. Do people forget about the popular guys like Snow, Movie, Best, Zero, Soulkey, Midas, Baby, Hydra, Effort, Leta, Hiya, Firebathero, Calm, Free, etc?
There are more than 4 progamers, and TBLS leaving the scene would just make it so that these guys shine even more. Of course them leaving for sc2 would be bad for bw, but they know better than to waste their time on a game that doesn't even have salaries.
