However as we all know, this is a game of very small margins so the time and/or loss of attention when moving your hand to press patrol can be used for something else which might make it too powerful. In theory, using two control groups of air units like Jaedong will also be much easier since you now can put your mutas on keys 1-2 and have a patrol key close. (Just thoughts and not facts of any kind) | ||

(Just thoughts and not facts of any kind) I think the patrol key in the Spanish version of the game is "R," but someone needs to double-check about that. If that's the case, then there's already an uneven advantage right there. | ||

In my opinion quality of life changes like keybinding remaps and resolution fixes makes this incredibly attractive to play. I could play both WC3 and SC2 at a relatively high level (Low/mid masters sc2) but was always C- (usually D) at best on iccup. And with QOL changes, I would play BW over a lot of other games even as a lower skilled player. It's just a much more enjoyable game for me. Since the skill ceiling is so high you can win or loose or make a comeback just by having a particular aptitude in one skill set. Really very few games I'd rather sink time in with these new updates added, | ||

That's what we want. Have u been living under a rock? They made SC2. That is what a new engine looks like. Brood war is as timeless as chess , a programming anomaly. You don't try to make chess 2. Clearly you have never played. | ||

 support as well? Quite an obvious advantage if someone's playing that on 4:3 versus someone using the SC:R version! Either way, I'm super hyped! | ||

What does this mean for 3rd party tournaments like ASL? If I remember right, the last time Blizzard tried to gain control of BW in Korea, we lost the OSL and MSL... Considering Blizzard went out of their way to go to Korea and speak to pros, shoutcasters and other groups (likely afreeca) I would imagine this shouldn't be a problem this time. I think Blizzard has finally realised that BW is their big eSports game outside of Overwatch now. | ||

I mean ultimately, they could do so at any time. Nothing's changed in that regard. Heyoka said Mike Morhaime is regretful of how they handled the scene. Tournament organizers are respecting Blizzard's IP by getting tournament licenses, and Blizzard gave up trying to get revenue from these organizers holding the leagues.That's was the source of like 90% of the animosity in the late 2000s. The other source of contention I guess was them trying to supplant BW with SC2, and thats frankly not going to happen. Blizzard seems to have a good relationship with Afreeca, SpotTV, and OGN nowadays. I don't think there's cause for concern because of all these reasons. | ||

(Just thoughts and not facts of any kind) You can already do all of that by using A) keyboard macros, B) AutoHotkey. I guess the first method can be seen as cheating, have seen people have issues with keyboard macros before. But I've never seen anyone have issues with AutoHotkey--it just changes which key is set where. In any case I don't think any of your concerns are relevant here, most people will probably stay on their legacy hotkey setup as they're used to it. This is probably the only change that I think is fine when it comes to accessibility. | ||

So unless you think people with a DVORAK keyboard shouldn't be allowed to play ladder, then your argument doesn't really hold. | ||
