"OSL will probably switch over to SC2"



Youtube is up!

Yesterday was, perhaps, the last OSL qualification ever. I went down to the OSL with my trusty camera, and spoke to one of the most knowledgeable people in all of eSports, Hwanni. To give you some perspective, he runs a Pro Team (eSTRO) and attends all KeSPA meetings. This guy knows his stuff. Click the link and be educated.Youtube is up!

Zona Profile Blog Joined May 2007 40425 Posts #14 No game has been as successful as BW as a spectator esport - everything they've tried has never measured up. Ya know I wouldn't mind seeing something like this happen just so we can find out whether or not they can really find a game to replace BW.



And if pro-BW dies I'll get a bit more free time since I won't be watching anything anymore. "If you try responding to those absurd posts every day, you become more damaged. So I pay no attention to them at all." Jung Myung Hoon (aka Fantasy), as translated by Kimoleon

Y'know, this news would be so much more epic if Nal_rA had made it through.

So the question is now: Flash for the golden mouse? Jaedong?



........ OSL, you will be missed.

In contrast to SC2, or rather going from SC2 to Brood War, it's a big pain in the ass. I endorse this switchover. RTS is evolving. Good-bye, former best RTS of all time.

Aldair Profile Joined May 2010 United States 78 Posts Last Edited: 2010-06-12 03:58:43 #17 This is the next logical step really. SC 2 is supposed to be "the shit" and the mainstream crowd is always attentive to "the shit of the time" and not much else. If OSL and the other major companies don't switch their incomes won't grow and may even shrink as people become more focused on SC 2.



But only time will tell.... And Blizzard...... Fuck....



Edit: Roger.... don't speak that way. Just... don't....

I'm more interested in how they're going to be affected by the lack of lan. The possibility of lag in a pro event is not a good thing. If the quarter was in your right hand, that would've been micro
