Good blog Jinro, I mostly agree with you.

I started watching and playing sc2 from the beta and followed most tournaments in WoL. Now I mostly switched to Dota 2 but I still watch some HotS tournaments and keep up with the results (Thanks to TL and Liquipedia) and I agree that even though HotS is not perfect, it is quite enjoyable to watch and in most cases, better than WoL.


Even though I'm just a lazy student, I'd be really interested in reading a blog or two written by you about your MMA...adventures and experiences. Maybe some day :D

Cheers!

Jinro, to me you'll always be Frozen Arbiter the SC2 mod, keeping people from panicking about everything during pre-beta. Glad to see you've kept the same cool head.

I absolutely agree, by the way. It feels like SC2's community is always caught in one negative frenzy after another. It seems like SC2 fans have a perpetual inferiority complex about their game-- probably born of the constant, insecure, and undetailed comparisons to BW. It's about time, I think, that people got over that.

sc2 is still doing good but the moba twitch numbers are exploding so ppl compare sc2 viewership to LoL vship and the difference is pretty huge so they think sc2 = ded game, its like volleyball/golf/formular 1 is a dead sport cauz soccer is doing way better in viewership ~

Well summed up, it's good that a person with your status says something like this Tournaments are fun to watch but reading LR threads can be painful at times.

Reminiscing that it was all great in BW is pretty dumb, Luna was an epitome of a map reflecting stale game state and at one period it was played so much
It takes a fool to remain sane.

Great blog Jinro, I enjoyed reading it and your new perspective of things. Maybe in 10 years LotV will be played still and as a competetive level as BW was in so many years later, but still on a different level.

I would like to say I have been a fan of you since I followed you in the GSL and at the time played Terran myself. I now play random.

Not really all that relevant to the blog, but Honk Kong has a really big issue with surrounding area chinese coming in and litereally shitting on the streets in public. I was talking with a guy from HK about it.

Anyway, good luck with the MMA. I hope you don't get the califlauwer ears.

Inspiring words! Thank you!

Although I'm on the back benches of the community I've always tried to be a positive voice in StarCraft.
Cheering people on and giving zero f*cks about the negative Nancies. (Be they from BW or SC2).

(I told myself I would never use this, but just for once).

<3 Jinro!

Pretty great blog, nice to have someone put things in perspective once in a while. Seems with everything it's so easy to start the hate train that once you do everything gets pushed aside.
There was an interview done with MC that was translated and put on Reddit and he really basically agrees with you but puts more emphasis on map design really changing the way the game is played, and like you said now that is becoming a thing for sc2... its pretty great!

Actually in the last few months I feel like HotS has gotten alot more interesting thanks to the use of SH's watching games with players trying to puzzle out how to make the most of them, or abuse them is super interesting.

I might be the only one but actually one of my favorite (I think it was WoL) games was a ZvZ from a GSL were both players went BL and in the middle of the map there was this massive BL vs BL war going on and at the same time as making sure that they both had = numbers of BL they were both using other units to snipe bases etc... make one game seem like a war with multiple fronts, was pretty fun really even if Tasteless and Artosis hated on it at the time....
