i saw some people saying he wasn't that great somewhere in the sc2 forums, not sure how credible they are though

This makes me super sad, but I also knew it was coming =[

The format feels very weird and artificial, though it is clear what they are trying to accomplish with regards to pushing SC2 over BW even in the dual PL

I still remember when I first heard about this. I never though it'd actually happen. What's even more shocking to me is that they will have the same players doing both games... thought they might have separate lineups or something. That said, I can't help but be curious at how the bw pros will do in sc2 once they get some hardcore practice in and a few months of practice.

But yea, this is silly and shouldn't happen.

Nah, considering that most ladder map now were made to be GSL maps before. Antiga is an ok to good map, depends on the match up. Cloud Kingdom is quite good too, considering that it's used by most of tournament and it won the TL map contest.

What could be better is replacing Ohana with Daybreak.

Check any thread before this month that even related to BW pros switching over. Lol I love this shit, I'm eating every bit of it up.

May SC2 live twice as long as BW, and twice as prosperous. May Flash retire at age 50 as a trillionaire.

Wow, the games will be so poor. Playing both SC2 and BW will screw you over so much. I would guess that most of the practice will go to SC2, right? So they are learning the new game, trying to get the feel for the speed of SC2 units and the speed of the gameplay, getting used to the easy pathing and get comfortable with MBS, unlimited unit selection, auto mining, visible rally points, health bars always on (if they want). And then play BW again and it will feel like shit and the play will be sloppy.

And to go from 16 : 9 aspect ratio and playing on 1080p to 4:3 640x480 with different mouse settings won't help either. :/

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?

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."


Two of the "Ladder maps" are community maps that happen to be on the ladder. Entombed Valley, despite being a Blizzard map, is actually pretty decent. Only Antiga-with-golds is eyebrow-raising, and MLG uses it. It's not like it's Steppes of War.

I just wanted to see OGN make their own maps

This is amazing, what I am curious about is whether or not there will be a easily accessible stream for american viewers, and if there will be english commentators, and vods, all SC2 fans want to see this, how is all of the viewing going to work?

I'm pretty positive I saw him atleast take a game off a current Korean SC2 pro, so thats better than nothing. Obviously he isn't good relative to Code A even but I feel like he will be better than most others in PL this season, atleast for the first 2 rounds.

Yeah gold minerals, no neutral depo at the bottom of your ramp and imbalance spawning positions (Antiga ladder edition) sucks.

I'm excited because if the BW elites are happy, then I guess we can't hope for more, but it they get disenchanted, Blizzard will have to drastically improve things.

It was from someone jealous (an aspiring pro gamer), if the claim is true that he has been playing for only a month, I think hes pretty good.

The SC2 ace match really sucks. I was hoping that there would at least be one good BW game per set, but I guess not.

The main problem I see occurring is that the same 6 players will be repeatedly played more than usual.

Say you have FBB playing BW for SKT. Since you want them playing BW again ASAP, the next game, they'll be sent for SC2. The other 3 spots can alternate, but say you have Sun, S2 and Hyuk. If they play SC2 the first match, and the next match sOO, S2, Hyuk play BW, Sun will be on a 2 match break assuming the FBB line isn't broken.

This whole alternating lineup thing can get very confusing and very dirty real fast.

How is high masters in KR/TW not good after ~2weeks of playing?

Gosh, this topic is full of pesimistic people... All this stuff sounds purely exciting to me!

Man, the BW skill-level of the games is going to suffer. You can already tell the epicness of the games wasn't like it was in 2011 and back
Starcraft's BW glory days have passed, RIP Jaedong's dominance - 2013...EDIT 2017: WE BACK BOYS
