Future for eSports?
We all know who StarCraft is a huge thing in Korea, and is on par with baseball, and other "real" sports. But with the coming of SC2, what will happen to eSports? Will they stick with original SC for eSports, or will they move on to SC2? And those pro eSport players, they've been practicing with StarCraft for years, do you think they will be happy with the upcoming game?
Theres more than 1 game thats in eSports category. Also, I think they will have to move onto SC2. But there are things to consider.
1. KeSPA, the Korean eSports Association will have to pay Blizzard, the legal fees to commence broadcasting of SC2 on TV and hosting tournaments with the game as such. ( The entire SC leagues and the latter have not been paying for 9 years in Korea, and still hasnt been paying. The Blizzard has no back to demand payment now. )
2. It also depends on how popular Starcraft II will be in the world market. ( This means computer spec requirement shouldn't be so high in the first place. )
And, progamers who play Starcraft will also play Starcraft II better than the average players, guarrentied. It doesn't matter whether they would be happy or not. They like games in general, and most of them agree SCII's controls and feels are similar to SC.

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense[2025-5-15. : 11:37 am]
Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning[2025-5-14. : 4:42 pm]
fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites[2025-5-14. : 3:38 pm]
fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..[2025-5-09. : 8:45 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.
