EPTI was talking about patch 1.16 for BW.
Kespa teams and ICCUP stayed on 1.15.3 because 1.16 had a lot of lag issues and stuff.

What dead game? This is going to be sick. Imagine if Sonic managed to usher in a revival of professional BW in Korea and it were to eclipse SC2. To already host a prize pool almost as big as some of the OSLs/MSLs is a huge thing. I'm quite shocked Sonic isn't charging an admission fee for the offline Ro32 onwards. I feel like even if he charged like... $10 - $15, it would be quite a big boon. | ||

A graphics make over would result in an engine change though, and we might lose some of the better bugs that make bw playable/balanced tho. | ||

You could just change the sprites. Changing the graphics while keeping the gameplay identical is not a programming impossibility. I'm more worried about how it would look, considering Blizzard's art style since WarCraft III. | ||

I dunno its hard for me to get away from the gritty warlike feel of BW. if it looked like war3 id prolly kill myself. dragoons etc didnt translate well into 3rd i noticed. | ||

And besides, any "graphic update" would by popular demand have to come with interface improvements which would force the rebalancing of everything and destroy 14 years of strategical development. | ||

There is no need to freshen up the graphics, brood war streamed at the highest quality looks pretty good. And besides, any "graphic update" would by popular demand have to come with interface improvements which would force the rebalancing of everything and destroy 14 years of strategical development. this. No remake of BW please. Leave the game as is. The bugs like muta stacking are due to the engine and such. Making any changes to it even graphical will have a much more profound effect than is realized. | ||

It is possible to change only how the sprites look, and not how anything behaves. | ||
