well they are replacing scbw with sc2 as sc2 have more foreigners...
not many foreigners are playing scbw competitively anymore which is a good choice...

read http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessag...topic_id=199047 on the reason


Added on March 7, 2011, 1:15 pmWorld Cyber Games announced officially today that StarCraft 1 will no longer be part of WCG Grand Finals lineup. In its stead, StarCraft 2 has been selected.

Reason behind it is that "We decided to remove StarCraft 1 from our games lineup after a discussion with the gamers from all over the world, as well as the partner companies. Also, as we aim to represent the world's premier gaming tournament, we chose to use StarCraft 2 -- as the game is popular worldwide."

Fomos notes, while StarCraft 1 is removed only from the Grand Finals lineup, it is not likely to be seen on any WCG events from now on.

Thats true, I'm just disappointed GomTV decided to declare restreams illegal.....                 and hiring Kelly.

GSL is nt tat popular among the Koreans but highly popular among the foreigners...
and now NASL is trying to do tat as well (and soon FXopen over here in msia)...

so far IEM grand finals crowd is pretty good as well as MLG etc...
sc2 is nt only koreans now...

ps: u would be happy moletrap would be going over to cast GSL (mostly replacing kelly) since u are a BW fan

It has nothing to do with being a BW fan, but I started listening to Moletrap's commentary since 2007 until now, I would prefer him over Kelly anytime. If you went for the SMM Dota Tournament, Kelly was literally spoiling the tournament commentary by shouting "OMG MIRANA FIRES AN ARROW" "THEY ARE WAITING FOR AN AMBUSH" and hinting the enemy team about the danger  shocking.gif

im not a BW fan, i spend more than 70% of my free time playing sc2 now but sometimes i just cant stand how ridiculous the game can be, i will still open BW. BW has the most balance interface in the time being. tho sc2's graphic is much more superior, BW is much more interesting in the hand of koreans. even in GSL final, we can point out so many mistakes of the finalist but in BW, they play almost perfectly every game.

i still play BW with my classmates occasionally.

owh well, SC2 is still developing, im sure after 5 years, it will just be as epic as BW.

sc2 is less than 1 yr, have u seen BW at that time?
it was worst than sc2...
