Today I learnt of the new 4v4 map. In an effort to find and screenshot the map, I went the BNet cache folder .... + Show Spoiler +
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Blizzard Entertainment\Battle.net\Cache
I saw a bunch of folders and thought it might take a while to find the map, so I decided to do a file search, *.* to get a list of all the files.

A couple minutes later, the search returned with over 17,000 files in this folder and subfolders. WTF is Blizzard caching that needs so many files?!

I deleted them all and started up SC2 and have not noticed anything wrong with the game, but it recreated about 5,600 files again in that location.

Holy shit blizzard?

and you did not have to redownload the maps? thats strange ^^
Inputting special characters into chat should no longer cause the game to crash.
