It's also in a lot of the live report threads here too tho, not just reddit (I actually dont read reddit at all, always preferred individual community sites ie TL, Liquidpoker or Twoplustwo for poker, sherdog or bloodyelbow for MMA etc), which is too bad. Really wish a game like Reality vs SoulKey could be appreciated (it is still a pretty rare occurence to have a game go THAT long) instead of instantly going to talks of bullshit and imba.

who cares about sc2, please blog more about MMA here.

HoTs has definitely improved for the player. However as a viewer it still has a certain level of work. I still don't have enough on the edge moments like I got watching brood war or mind blowing moments were I see something only a special type of pro could pull off like double stacked must micro. I don't compare BW and SC2 based on what's better to play here but solely my viewer experience. I still stick to the sc2 and show support. If lotv takes it just a step further SC2 will be able to hold its name highly.

I don't think people say that the game is dying because the game is turning into swarm host and mech turtlefest, people say it's "dying" because LoL is more popular and that many of their favorite progamers retired. I mean look at this http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Retirement. This was when people started said that the game was "dying" I think the game is pretty well made besides a few things like the mothership core but I have to agree. The production in all of these tournaments are fantastic these days.

You know sometimes it takes someone who is removed from the trenches, yet has been there before, to offer up insight to what is going on currently that others just can't see.

Really well said. Thank you for sharing

Edited: Also, in terms of Swarm Host, this fella http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1xln5t/an_idea_for_the_swarm_host_design_after_day9s/ offered up a really good idea, which I would love to see on a test map someday in the near future.

You've got some big hands and a chin like Big Foot Silva. Would say you would make it big in MMA! Bad jokes aside. you always seemed like a laidback dude and i hope you reach your goals in whatever dreams you want to pursue!

5/5, Great read.

I love that youve brought up the fact that even Brood War was not always perfect - it did have what, like, ~10 years to mature into the lovelyness that we remember today.

Yeah, the only balance whine it was in BW was about the maps. :D (BISU!)
