And for more clarification, please pick "staying for community/players" if you will follow the pro SC2 scene and stick around not because of the game. If you're still around the forums as an active BW player after the transition but no longer follow the pro Starcraft scene please select 'leaving'.

Since the switch is inevitable at this point, I thought it would be interesting to see how these numbers stack up. I don't think I'll be able to bring myself to watch SC2. Nothing against the game but the only similarities are the name as far as I'm concerned.



For clarification, I'm of course speaking of what will happen after Kespa and all the official South Korean entities are 100% transitioned to SC2. I'll be holding on until the last breath, when the unofficial servers finally shut down.And for more clarification, please pick "staying for community/players" if you will follow the pro SC2 scene and stick around not because of the game.

Oh the good times. gg no re, and don't forget to turn out the lights.





Sorry for the clusterf*ck of options.





EDIT:





I don't think a full transition is 100% confirmed yet.



<--- Official Entus twitter. Let's not see the Effort storyline end in SC2!





I'm pretty sure that the KeSPA one will respond in English. PM me if there's anything you want to add.

Sawamura Profile Blog Joined August 2010 Malaysia 7593 Posts #4 I will stick around to support Kespa and bw teams even though they may transition to sc2 as long I can see familiar faces I would be happy and I don't really like the gsl and stuff because compared to my bw teams they aren't the same people who I have come to be accustomed with for many years .



So yeah I will be around. BW/KT Forever R.I.P KT.Violet dearly missed ..

Pucca Profile Blog Joined January 2012 Taiwan 1270 Posts Last Edited: 2012-04-20 18:43:17 #5 I feel like this thread is a little misplaced for the time. If you were talking about this when SC2 came out I think it would make sense. I don't quite understand when you said "e the switch is inevitable at this point" I wonder what made you come to this conclusion? Many BW players left right when SC2 game into town. Master Chief

Well, I'm sure that the BW forums will always be up and the die-hard community will still be there for me. The world is burning and you rather be on this terrible website discussing video games and your shallow feelings

Darth Saros Profile Blog Joined October 2010 Czech Republic 245 Posts #9 I'll quit following the pro scene...cause there will be none. I might check on how Flash is doing from time to time if the nostalgia gets me. I'll try to watch some foreign bw events/korean amateur events. And we'll of course KEEP PLAYING-nothing compares to BW... Only BW...And everybody and your granny should know about CYBERPUNK 2077.

And there are still amateur tournaments to look forward to as well.

My plans are to continue playing with friends, maybe try out a few of the amateur tourneys to see if they are worth watching, and to take a more relaxed view of the scene. I liked watching replays and playing the game for many years before the proscene was readily accessible, I can imagine that might be what I return to. My life takes priority, but I've never found it hard to make time for BW Maybe I'll watch some old VODs and stuff. You need to clarify the OP a bit, or maybe add a few more options. Leaving the proscene might be how most people interpret this, but those people might also continue to stay within the community of TL, or watch the foreign scene, or follow afreeca tourneys. I guess it's really an inaccurate thread title as well. BW isn't ending, its proscene is. I suspect if lesser games had communities that far outlasted corporate endorsement, BW itself has a long ways to go before people abandon in completely.My plans are to continue playing with friends, maybe try out a few of the amateur tourneys to see if they are worth watching, and to take a more relaxed view of the scene.

Hinanawi Profile Blog Joined July 2009 United States 2250 Posts #16 I have a feeling I'll be too spoiled by progamers playing BW to ever really enjoy watching amateur tournaments after the pro-scene dies.



I'll give watching HotS a try when that comes out, but my expectations are extremely low and I'll probably just end up leaving. Favorite progamers (in order): Flash, Stork, Violet, Sea. ||| Get better soon, Violet!

Darksoldierr Profile Joined May 2010 Hungary 2007 Posts #19 What the hell? If you want to play BW you still can. 100% there will be streams, cups, tournaments. Specially nowdays, when everything gets streamed.



The next dual BW / SC2 tournament, if true, will still have BW matches, and if it fails horribly, theres a chance they get seperate tournaments and/or only BW.



Before all this doomsday calling, lets actually wait and see it ourselves. What do humans know of our pain? We have sung songs of lament since before your ancestors crawled on their bellies from the sea.
