Since the remake is going to be on the bnet launcher, does that still mean i can play it offline i.e singleplayer? I've never used the bnet launcher so idk how it works with the games being on there.

They confirmed that you can play offline. You'll still need the bnet launcher to install and update the game, which means you'll need to install the bnet launcher app, login to that with your bnet 2.0 account (which you should have to buy SC:R digitally), and then download and install SC:R from the list games in the launcher.

I strongly speculate that you'd still be able to launch the game directly from the executable outside of the Bnet app once it's installed.

how the hell would they know if a pc client in a pc bang was using sc RM. i think they want that in because there was no other way to make post-sale micro transactions to recoup their development costs if they kept offline LAN around. this makes me quit bw completely and im sure a lot of old ppl like myself. cant be bothered with this bs anymore gg , was even thinking of putting up a pc bang of my own just for scr, i guess thats over

I played a fuckton of BW back in the days and had a pretty decent level (~B+ on ICCUP), I stopped playing in 2008-2009 and plan to come back playing a bit once SC:R is released. Did the meta change (I doubt it but we never know) ? What are the good replay sites ? Is there another way of watching stream than Afreeca ? (it's so laggy even in medium quality..
Thanks in advance guys !

Actually it's pretty surprising to me that 5.1 million have watched that remastered trailer on blizzards facebook page.
More than i expected i gotta admit.

Who would have thought that Blizzard would make it so incredibly hard for me to give them my money

I moved back to the UK recently, but my battle.net account was created while living in Germany.
To get a UK debit card added to a German battle.net account took freaking ages...

Volvo makes it much easier for me to waste my salary on useless stuff

I would say it's changed from 2009 a bit (that was when I quit was early 2010). TvZ was starting to switch over to late game mech in 2010 and has been perfected and the norm in almost every TvZ. PvZ has a lot more gate openings into a 2-3 zealot harass with forge expand.

From the zerg side, those were 2 major changes from that era I noticed. I don't see as much Forge FE like it was back in 08/09.

No idea about TvT/PvP/TvP.

I've noticed that tvz has shifted back to bio lately. Flash and last seem content to play that SK style with mines added sometimes but dont see huge tank deathballs anymore.

It's not about that. It's about hanging out with friends playing a game and there's a culture behind it.
Kids would go there after school with friends from what I heard.

yes, pc bang's still remain a core part of korean culture despite advances in technology.
it's just not the same playing games at home with your friends on discord compared to going to a pc bang together.

It defintely is. I went on holiday to korea last summer and the pc bangs were full of kids having fun after school. it's still very popular because its cheap and there's all necessities in terms of cheap drinks and food
