So... players must practice both games... and we've seen what that's like, especially in the ODT. Goodbye, game quality! The SC2 fans won't like it and the BW fans will hate it. What's the point? This is seriously a stupider decision than just dropping BW entirely. You're already infuriating that fanbase, and you're not gaining anything from it. *shakes head* | ||

When I log into SC2, I enter my bnet info. I then get a screen with a single button, "Ribbon" (or, "Cascade" now, since I changed my name). I click the Ribbon button to sign in to the game. It's a completely pointless screen in WoL. That screen is pretty clearly there so that, in HotS, I can select which server I want to play on. But that functionality is being saved for HotS. BW did that too, actually, with the new units having been made during the dev of vanilla SC. | ||

There's one thing I don't get though: BW/SC2 Mix If your name is submitted for the 3rd game but the Bo3 is is 2-0, it still counts as you playing. What does this mean? Let's say the lineups are: Bisu vs Killer Fanta vs Baby Best vs Jaedong If Bisu and Fanta win, does that mean that Best gets a win recorded against Jaedong without even playing? That can't be right. Can someone explain this? | ||

It just means that they can't play in the second half of the matches if they are registered to play in the first I think? even if they don't get to play. | ||

I believe it counts as Best and Jaedong both having played their SC2 match, so their next match must be in BW. | ||

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. I guess that means coaches will avoid sending their strongest players in sets 3 or 6 because of the chance of them not even getting to play. | ||

That can't be right. Can someone explain this? I would guess that it means Best and Jaedong can't play for the SC2 portion of the match, but they don't get a win/loss from it. Also, are they seriously just using ladder maps? It seems like they could've just asked, I don't know, anybody, who is currently involved in SC2 whether that was a good idea or not and gotten a unanimous "No." | ||

FBH is going to dominate I think, I have not heard of any current BW player being better than him in SC2. I've also seen him play several games against current SC2 pros but I really don't remember how the games went. T.T | ||

For example, being forced to learn the hard way that the ladder maps are not a good idea for tournaments (although these aren't nearly as bad as what the GSL started on). Another example being that they mostly seem to think Zerg is weak and their Zergs are having a hard time. While Zerg has really been the weakest race since the beginning, we've (Zerg players) come a long way. I'd say that really only PvZ is touched with a bit of imbalance. I don't think anyone could really seriously say that TvZ is imbalanced anymore (and with the Z buffs coming tomorrow, Z grows even stronger). Maybe Zergs are having a hard time simply because of the map selection. Antiga and Entombed particularly are not that good for Zerg. | ||

If they force cross spawns and remove the gold in Antiga (the other 3 maps don't have gold), I think the map pool is pretty decent. | ||
