Glad this worked out and they avoided a lawsuit, although as a law student I was very curious to see how it would have turned out. I think it would have been one for the history books and made it into quite a few textbooks (there were so many issues from jurisdiction to IP, contracts, software, and international law, maybe involving the WTO).

Things continuing to look great for BW. Looking forward to the uninterrupted conclusion of the OSL prelims and start of the main series. :D

Patch increase build speed time of scouts and lessen its cost to 150/100.


That would be so stupid, man... Like changing the rules in soccer. I mean, they haven't released a balance patch in over ten years. TEN YEARS. The game shouldn't be artificially changed.

Official collaboration could bring us some pretty huge events in the future. Good stuff.

This is great news for both the BW and SC2 community IMO. For a long time I lost hope Blizzard and KesPA would ever come to an agreement!

excellent news, now if only the OSL would start already
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

I hope KeSPA can work out a sub-license for SC2 sooner than 2 years from now. I wonder If Korean SC2 will last that long if KeSPA doesn't embrace it.

I am also quite happy to see this over, though it was pretty hilarious to see both Blizz and Kespa talk about each other like that.

I'd normally agree but for quite arguably the least used unit in the entire game, I think it's a fair call to rebalance the Scout somewhat. The price is a bit too cheap but it could use some buffs in some ways

oh god no,no balance changes,although I would like to play BW on Win7 without having my colors fucked up.

and make it easier to host games,seriously I hate having an un port-forwardable router.
