I hope this brings back eSports into BW Foreign scene =) Eh, I can't see that happening, at least not without heavy Blizzard subsidies. There's so much competition with every game being a big esport now. The community is going to have to rely on grassroot events because an organizer like Dreamhack probably isnt going to pick it up because there are so many other games to choose from. Don't they kind of own MLG now, though? If you can put money into SC 2, a ship on the bottom of the ocean for years, you can surely allocate money to Remastered, even if as a hail mary. Activision Blizzard does, not Blizzard proper. The only thing I think MLG does for Blizzard is host the World of Warcraft Blizzcon NA qualifiers, and more recently they're doing the Overwatch League. More Importantly, MLG doesn't host those big circuit events anymore. They're using the MLG brand and assets to produce the Overwatch league, but they're still open to using those resources for their other games. Those are probably gonna be mostly backend support, but my fingers are still crossed for a LAN appearance. It would also be nice if OGN could get in on the Remaster hype and start hosting tournaments again, perhaps even doing them regularly.
I mean, certainly OGN is in the running for more tournaments. It'd be cool if you think about if we got THREE Brood War leagues, although I'm uncertain how realistic that is because how many pros dropped out of SSL Classic. Ideally I'd want the hungry pros to be in all 3.
I digress, we're talking about the foreign scene, that's what I'm expressing doubt for.

So who thinks it will actually be released this summer? I must say that personally I have my doubts :/

I'm pretty sure the scene is going to blow up once Remastered is released, Foreign BW going to go wild.

I think it will come out on schedule.
With a 300MB day 2 patch or something.
They pushed 1.18 out "on schedule" too and thats been a bit of a mess really.

Patch 1.18.6 is out:
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/starcraft/topic/20754826034
Specific Changes & Improvements
Switching between Progressive-IME and standard input will no longer delete standard characters
Join's available game list refresh rate slowed from 1 second to 7
Tuned responsiveness when control group commands follow build commands
Tuned input handling with Vsync or FPS cap on
Fullscreen will now use the monitor's highest refresh rate
Bug Fixes
Attack or rally commands sent rapidly to the minimap will no longer switch the camera position
Lobby IDs no longer change on refresh - addressing one of the causes of stats only updating properly for the game host
Pausing Alt+F4 for 1 second - to address stats not updating when the host uses that method to gg
Replays with pauses should no longer cause crashes
Invalid maps should no longer cause crashes
Space bar functions again have parity with 1.16 - will not affect gameplay, but advances screens in menus

Only thing I noticed was this note in Upcoming Fixes: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/starcraft/topic/20754425665
Creating Game... Eventually
We're iterating on the mechanism for posting game lobbies, and fixing the ghost lobbies will also increase post time.
|
Good fixes for sure but I can't see myself playing much more 1.18 until they fix this lag issue.I didn't touch the game for seven years, came back with 1.18 and the lag is on par with what we put up with back in 98/99.I think this is a big part of why Bnet population and game lobbies are starting to fall again.

what do you mean? The latency in game? Because it feels just fine to me.

Yeah I only feel lag if there are a lot of people in game, other than that, 1v1 latency is great

1v1 is fine but many of the 2v2 and 3v3s have been quite unplayable.

Same here, I've been playing exclusively team games 2:2 and 3:3 and pretty much every single game lag, forced to play on extra high latency which is unplayable.

Does anyone know if they are gonna release a exact date soon? Its basically already summer in a week or so and theres no release date, im gonna have a very busy summer i wanna make some time in advance to play this game when it relases else im gonna have to wait a few months
|
My guess would be late summer... like Aug/Sept ish. Blizz is on top of the ball when it comes to 1.18, as they are consistently making patches, but updating graphics with that, won't be soon.

lol? Summer starts on june 21st which is 30 days. I don't think they're talking about june 1st as meteorological start of summer. Even if they do, they still have three more weeks as buffering xD
|
Just one question, will I be able to use the old files from the original starcraft like the 'Antioch chronicles for starcraft remastered since its on the same engine. Or will they be incompatible and have to be remade?

If they release it on the last day of August, it would still be a "summer release"
