More opinions on StarCraft 2
More opinions on StarCraft 2
The eSport guru Carmac, known for his columns and edgy interviews with progamers all over over world scribbled down the opinions of various profiles in the community.
The questions he asked were "How good do you expect SC2 to be compared to SC?", "Will SC2 kill the SC and WC3 scenes?" and "What do you think the pros will do? Will they switch instantly or wait to see what happens?". He asked known names such as Legionnaire, Lucifer, Raistlin and FuRy. Below are some snippets.
“Warcraft in effect killed SC, because it stopped lots of new players from coming in to replace the ones who left. SC is still so strong, though, because it was just so damn good. I think SC2 will have the same affect, except it won't be as bad as Warcraft 3.
-Peter "Legionnaire" Neate
“I don't know. In Korea StarCraft will still be alive. As for Warcraft 3... hmm... I hope it survives.
-JaeWok "Lucifer" Noh
“I think at least every pro-gamer in StarCraft 1 and WarCraft 3 will try it out as soon as it's out. And I'm quite sure the majority will find it to their liking, and after a couple of weeks: BOOM! We'll see Moon fighting Savior in the first offline tournament.
-Patrik "Raistlin" Hellstrand
“I hope they try to build on the past success instead of going their own crazy way like Valve by creating a completely new game loosely based on the same formula that actually worked (the CS: 1.6 / Source whine-o-rama).

| bouuuuh raistlin ! SC2 will suxx !! its like war3 ! |
I like what the gosu player Patrik "Raistlin" Hellstrand said.  |
| #1 if u arent from future u cant know it..so stfu nub :) |
| heh, nested self quotes from the Raist, savior vs. moon gogogo |
| hahaha #1 is a TC. South park viewers will know it ^^ |
| I think BW will more or less die. Even if it lose only 50% of the players that will be a huge impact on bw comunity. And i doubt any new gamers who didnt play sc yet will pick sc1 over sc2. Not to mention the focus of most gaming clans on SC2 instead of bw. It might be that sc2 wont live up to expectations but i highly doubt that. |
| I really hope TFT will survive, as a community game |
| #7 I wouldnt worry about that. There a lot of players playing FTF and it has great game search system so a lot of ppl will still play it. |
| ps. Raistlin how does it feel to quote yourself in news posted by you? |
| hope Lyn vs sAviOr ;pp |
| I only want to ask the same question as #9 Anyway, I hope BW lives, it's just too good of a game to die. |
| >We'll see Moon fighting Savior in the first offline tournament.< Yeah... in Elf v Zerg MU :] |
| #1, u cant say that if u didnt try it. In SC2 u can make 200/200 and is faster than wc3 Anyways i think those comments are all right but kind of unfair with wc3 |
| #2 - where does it say that progamers were interviewed? "the opinions of various profiles in the community." |
