SCW back to OG?

[xS.Jake]

is anyone else interested in seeing scw be back on original?  FMP just isnt meant for dark templars, lurkers and medics.  People use these units as a crutch when i think it requires more skill on original.  Some people may disagree.  Anyone else think we should go back to what we played for 10+ years?  I just came back and im still learning brood war, but i still think the game is way more balanced on original.

Could always just play sc og on the scw map if both players agree. I'd be up for it and I know a few other gamers would be as well. Bw takes a bit more technical skill over just macro and allows for more unique stats but I know what you mean. Lurker swarm can be a pain.

[xS.Jake]

lurker swarm is lame, dark templars take early game tvp away too which is a big thing.  ive noticed the only way to win tvp on bw vs anyone good is to hold rush, then turtle until youre big enough to handle anything.  Any good player will wreck you with dark templars quick after a failed mb or whatever.  And they come out earlier then a vessel does.  I know what you mean with more strats but also protoss is already overpowered.  I havent played in 8 years and im continuously beating people with my protoss.  Its even more op on broodwar with corsairs for drops and vision harass and dark templars in my opinion.

But there's also medics and valks for Terran. Easier to stop rushes with meds and cars are way easier to beat with valks and gol range with mm. You no longer need to rely on constant wraith/ghost micro. Its give and take. The amount of micro it takes to use darks properly vs Terran when t can make a few turrets can be challenging. Your fighting a nonstop battle in a base other than your own that will most definitely keep you behind in macro if you dont do enough damage. Because of medics, p has to d harder when doubling or tripling. Same as z. Can't just get a couple sunks at choke anymore. Yea, sairs make drops harder to stop but z can lurk main and have you ever seen a mass drop run into a few valks? Practically get liquefied. P is just easier to unrust in general with.  I can take time off sc and come back to beat ppl with p but definitely can't with Terran or zerg. Yea you were gone for a while but 150 plus games is more than enough to be oiled up

[xS.Jake]

youre right im definitely trash now.  Ive gotten better since i came back but its challenging to unrust and learn bw which is completely different.  All my old strats dont work lol.  I would almost garuntee that good players would participate more or even come back to compete in 1s if it was on original.

You should add a poll to see what the community thinks.

[Victor]

I dont think you are trash at all. Just the game has adapted and theres not many noobs anymore. Everyone's pretty good now lol. I like the idea of sc og though. Let's throw a "legends" invite tournament on sc og!? Cash prize

[xS.Jake]

I added a poll to see what people think.  OG would be fun to run again.  Hope you guys agree

[Victor]

I think there should be a sc and bw league next season. Just doing sc might not make the Korean gosus come back. They play bw

[xS.Jake]

thats what we did during vgt and a lot of the time the original league was where most competition was.  Community may be too small to split it up now though.  The koreans came and played when we were all still only playing OG.  Dont think they care.  They prolly think the competition is weak now and going og would only make it more interesting.



Also while were at it.  Bring back PPvPP in 2s!! lol

[FaINeR]

Koreans only come when there is money no less than 200 dollars

Original sounds good a season for nostalgia. I have no problem which game to choose bw and sc they are both fun.
I will vote for original, I think that if Jake donates money for the prize pool, sword he will think about it more

[xS.Jake]

ill throw some money down if thats what will make a difference

[ShuNshA]

im down for OG league too . i vote yes for OG

[SyDoOT]

OG is more balance to bw in fastest,

[heavymachinegun]

fastest 1 on 1 should always be played on original since dt medic lurker stall helps noobs ruin the game
