why is this SC2BW ? when it can be SCBW and with 100$ weekly it would be an amazing tournament played by the best players around ? wouldnt it be better that way ? just wondering edit : + Show Spoiler + the popularity of this tour is really poor too ;( defiler has a 75$ prizepool and it attracts around 100 people weekly ! best players included. I think this needs to be a BW tour and it would get much much more attention! :D | ||

also some people including myself just love to see a BWish game on the SC2 engine. the spectator settings possibilities are pretty cool. but yeah, it would be cool if more people would participate. hopefully next one will be better in that regard. it would probably also help to have it at the calendar again. first time it was there. | ||

You just have to change "BW" into "SC2" and "SC2BW" into "BW". Even if BW has a great history and SC2BW has no history, don't call it "dead". I hope the tournament will continue and we see more BW's, exBW's who switched to SC2, and SC2only Pros. I can't see any other chance how these players will ever compete with each other... | ||

I wasnt saying anything about SC2BW being bad.. its just that im wondering is there any sense of organizing a nice tournament in a game that is not SC2 and not BW just.. something in between. Its like the 2012 Proleague with BW and SC2.. instead of choosing one game and play it to the max, they played 2 games and were not amazing at neither.. While BW really needs everything it can get.. so this tour would be an amazing power up for the SCene while SC2 dont need another smaller tournament, it has TONS of it. Maverick did an amazing job trying to transport the epicness of BW into SC2 but.. its just somehow not working ;( no hard feelings | ||

You can't force a mod to become popular. It either is or it isn't. You can't pull the DOTA example out when hundreds of games have mods, but very very few mods ever become so popular that they become their own game. DOTA is the exception, not the rule. As far as I know, SC2BW faces the weird problem that it is a turn-off (generally speaking) for both SC2 and BroodWar fans. I personally liked it, but not everyone may feel the same way. The way that SC2 prioritizes UMS and mini-games in it's menu does not allow the vast majority of users to even know that SC2BW exists. The only way you could know is by word-of-mouth, or go through the forums, and as far as I can tell, the SC2 forum really isn't that interested in SC2BW. | ||

Maverick did an amazing job trying to transport the epicness of BW into SC2 but.. its just somehow not working ;( no hard feelings The influence on my feelings is pretty high. I didn't know anything about esports up to the point when Sc2 was released. I followed players like MorroW, Beastyqt and many more. I was excited and enthusiastic. Then i more and more realized that something is wrong with the game that not even a patch or an expansion can save. I switched to BW and i'm happy with that. But the players i followed can't switch like me, even if they want because Sc2 is their job. When i want to see them i have to watch Sc2, but i don't want to watch Sc2. With this tournament there is a hope to see a few of them again. It doesn't matter to me if they don't perform like gosu because of their lack of practice in SC2BW or BW. The point is not if a drone spinning around before morph into a pool or a dragoon going up the ramp when you tell him going down. The point is the chance to see them again. This is the reason why this is not just another Sc2 tournament. | ||

Had the mod been finished 1½ year ago I believe it would have stood a chance at killing SC2. It's somewhere around there you will find the cut off point where pros stop posting/interacting with the community, and the community itself becomes jaded because it already has "seen it all" in a thousand shapes and iterations. | ||
