Do you think Starcraft II will have the same impact, integrating a video game as a sport? or will they still continue with Starcraft(I)?

Opinions please :P

EDIT: Grammar check

I think they will stick to the original, That would be like changing the national sport form Football (Soccer) to Rugby. Although maybe further down the line there may be a switch. I suppose it all depends on if the Korean Starcraft league guys like it or not in the end.

I assume it will over time, But it will not happen right off the bat.

So Within a span of 5 years is what I place my bet on.

I think they'll expand and have both Starcraft and Starcraft 2 as a national sport.

Both. They'll continue to play the original, incorporate SCII during the events, and than eventually stick with it.

I was just in Korea for a month and they were advertising the heck out of Starcraft 2, so I bet they will eventually.

They're going to switch. They might keep a ciassic SCI sport, but I think they'll definitely switch over.
