Anyone else blown away that god damn Starcraft still has a pro scene?

No, not really. Like Smash Bros Melee it's a very accessible game but also with a very high skill ceiling. Action is on a flat perspective so it's easier to watch and understand what's going on then say an FPS game (like Quake 3).

Finally the game was such a huge sensation there's a whole generation who have a fondness for Starcraft.

Why didn't Starcraft 2 replace it? Because Blizzard forgot normal players play RTS on a casual level. I never played Starcraft or Warcraft 3 thinking about "Build Orders" I only did what I naturally found was most effective. Most people played Starcraft on Gigantic Maps with lots of resources so no real need to build secondary bases, it was just fun to smash armies and see who could ultimately outwit the other player.

Not really. Evo hasn't had it for years.

SFIII: Third Strike is still alive in Japan though.

Pretty much every old 2D fighter is still alive in Japan: ST, A3, 3S, VSAV, CvS2, not to mention more obscure games like Breakers Revenge, SamSho, Matrimelee, etc. Also, there's this thing called Fightcade

>Evo hasn't had it for years.
EVO = pro scene and pro scene = EVO? Many tournaments still have ST, Canada Cup for example.

Those are almost always side tournaments with paltry prize money or exhibitions featuring old timers like Valle and Choi

Nah if something is good people will keep playing it no matter the age.

>>3897421
wow, spending years getting good at a game for a chance to make the amount of money most people make in a month

ok

>>3897202
That's only because Capcom pays the people running Evo to push their newer more expensive games over it.

Those are USDs.

It's aired on TV. Like normal people watch this.

Starcraft's pro-scene is unheard of in "e-sports". In terms of money, and crowd size, other games are bigger. But Starcraft's a national past time for Korea.

Are those guys homosexuals?

I'm blown away by the fact that such thing as a pro scene in e-sports even exists.

>>3898551
Only for eachother

>>3896458

Not really man. It's Starcraft.

>>3896469

Starcraft 2 never had a chance since Blizz forgot how to balance shit without nurfing.

god damn warcraft 3 still has a pro scene
