WAT? OMG, please do not fk this up. I hope they just do a straight HD revision similar to how Age of Empires 2 was given an HD treatment without effecting the underlying engine. Please, Blizz, Do not "improve" things like being able to select unlimited buildings and units. Or fixing the ai pathfinding so it is more like sc2.
Age of Empires 2 was good for casuals, but terrible for pros, they still play on the regular AoE2 client.

Sick really looking forward to this. Wonder if they will have any sort of match making or if it's just graphic updates and we will still use iccup (maybe soon to be shield battery?).

Can't see Blizz going thru all this and not killing the ability to play on iCCup/Fish, they HAAAAATTTTTEEEEEEE those services.

I think they will probably try and just push both the games together harder to rebuild SCII's Esports Scene. They want you to get the a playable version of BW with SCII. Its not like they have stopped selling SCII after LotV. There's plenty of content they'll release for SCII but if someone wants to go play the original, its really a pain in the butt cheeks.
So I think its more like giving a complete package to new players and unite the 2 different Esports scenes since SCII is in a sorry state and BW is on the up and up again.
I mean, they let the ASL run BW and SCII side by side. I think that's kinda indicative of what they want to do in the future until SC3.

I doubt it is about building a RTS esports scene at all. The ship for RTS Esports has sailed.

It don't think it aims to be an esport for world wide. But maybe Blizzard decided to give up on SC2 in Korea and decided to go for BW there while maintain WCS world wide.
I heard rumors that this will the last PL. So what if Blizzard worked with KeSPA for a BW return with the HD remake for Korea while the rest of the world play SC2?
BW is like 10 times larger than SC2 if not more in Korea. So maybe that is what Blizzard trying to do?

I'm with Digmouse, I think this has next to nothing to do with eSports. To me just thinking for a few mins on it it seems to have two possible target goals
1: Get some $$$$, people WILL buy SC1 HD even if they aren't hardcores, nostalgia is so hot right now.
2: Kill the private servers and unify the playerbase on Battle.net (possibly 2.0).

If Effort switches, I will.
Rest is irrelevant.

BW is on the up and up again, but the competitive scene is still small and its actually probably declined when you look at how BW had those amazing Sbenu leagues on OGN last year and looking at what the prizepools total for BW is going to end up being in 2016. I think I read an interview from....Kim Carry a month or so ago saying that it's still a struggle to get sponsors for BW tournaments.

Its gotta have something to do with esports. If not for just the sake of esports but the brand/rapport you get with the Korean community.

Its easy to have huge prizes if you are an embezzling scumbag liar. Atleast Sonic had the courtesy to shutter the Sonic Starleague and not drag down BW with him. I think BW is in a better place right now than last year since a big network picked up the ASL rather it being sustained by one guy and his pure shadiness.

While I'm happy to hear this, I somehow feels that Blizzard gonna fuck things up.
Idk, maybe I'm just a cynical old man but if everything Blizzard done with sc2 these past years teach me anything, everything's gonna be horrendous.

higher res
remove sprite limit - valk buff
buff scouts atg maybe..

Hoping they don't touch the gameplay but give it a decent matchmaking system with no lag
