SC1 rebirths with Remastered Version: Will Blizz become Esports tycoon again?

[SportsSeoul, Kim Jin-wook]

Starcraft: Brood War, a game which has long been popular among nationals over 18 years, will be remastered with HD and better graphics.

Officials say that Blizzard has been working on ‘Starcraft: remaster’, an upgraded version of Starcraft, and plans to release it late this year or early next year.

It is known that Starcraft: Remaster is targeted to strengthen graphics and battle.net services, while maintaining features and interactions of the game.

According to an official, “Blizzard once inquired me about upgrading Starcraft early this year. The most noticeable changes were graphics, but the core point was the structure of Battle.net.”

He also stated, “It looked just like classic battle.net. However, you should connect to the new one to play it.”

SC1 is still popular in the domestic market, but in the foreign market as well. It`s share is 3%, invitation matches attract many audiences and always got high viewer ratings.

However, Blizzard unsupported this game for over 5 years, excusing practical challenges. Releasing Starcraft: Remaster, It is expected that Blizzard is trying to upgrade this game while trying new business model.

Especially, it seems that Blizzard is preparing BW scene`s revival; officials said, “Blizzard strongly demands KeSPA to maintain SC2 teams. Which means, They`re planning to increase the clout of the esports scene by re-switching SC2 Proleague to SC: remaster Proleague. It seems that Blizzard is trying to reclaim the hegemony of esports from LOL and Dota 2.”

Besides, there`re various predictions for BW`s new business model. Since the game is almost free to play, it is not easy to make players pay for it. If the game is play-to-play, it would follow the a similar path as SC2.

With regard to this issue, another official stated that “SC1:remaster`s business model would rather be an battle. net upgrades. Since SC1 has many faithful fans, they would establish long-term plan by uniting Battle.net services.”

Full of apocryphal sources. I`m sure that it`s a clickbait.

"According to the relevants, Blizz is asking KeSPA to maintain SC2 teams; which means, Blizz is planning to re-converse SC2 Proleague to BW."

"Besides, there`re various expectations for BW`s new business model. Since the game is almost free to play, it is not easy to make players pay for it."

What is this, a clickbait or a fantasy novel?

I dunno the article doesn't seem legit to me. First, we have these weird WC3 MOD Screens and secondly, forcing KeSpa to switch to BW seems a bit strange to me. I would imagine Blizzard to aim for a parallel format for Sc2 and BW, forcing KeSpa to switch doesn't seem logical from their PoV.

love the screenshots lol

Don't know if this is true (but I do not doubt it), but from Gtranslate, it looks like it is talking about:

- star 1 HD late this year or early next year
- continue sc2 alongside star1 proleague
- not sure on business model of star1hd
- star1hd will have better gfx and battle.net support but will have the same feel as star1
- trying to cross-promote Blizzard games

better bnet support would mean bnet 2.0 integration, which already seemed likely to me.

They should've used Project Revolution screenshots instead. That mod looked much more incredible, and it's too bad it never released in its entirety

It's good if they start supporting the resurgent BW scene. It's bad if they abandon SC2 to do that, but that's very unlikely. Still, it would be nice to see KT smash SKT T1 in BW again.

I think Crank went through this article on stream, only caught the end though. The VOD might be interesting.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

It wouldn't be too bad if that just meant integration into the B.net launcher. Cross-game chat with other B.net friends is useful. BW would get a higher visibility when its among the client's 6 other games (maybe 7 if they ever integrate WC3). BW tournaments, events, and content could be cross-promoted into the pages for other games.
