Alot of people that play Brood War don't want to transition to SC2 because of a few things:

• They believe it to be a better game
• They don't have to upgrade their pc / buy SC2
• It's harder to play
• They prefer the original Battle.net
• The epic long history of competitive BW

And the BW pros have been making so much money playing in Proleague / OSL / etc they have no need to transition to SC2, although with SC2 Proleague coming soon and Mike Morhaim talking to KeSpa again this might change.

I love SC2. It's my favourite game. But people are perfectly justified in preferring BW. Yes SC2 and BW are very similar but they are NOT the same game. That said I would still love to see SC2 evolve as a game and an eSport and watch some of my favourite BW pros that haven't transitioned yet light up the main stages playing my favourite game

I find exactly these points match up with cs 1.6 compared to CS:Source also

I guess it's the same thing. Although, source is tiny worldwide compared to SC2.
