It's not like you could contribute a lot now anyway. Would it be nice to play 2 weeks before release? Sure. But damn if that actually angers you i don't know what to say tbh. Because since release of 1.18, plenty of players gave the game go and provided great feedback which allowed Blizzard to fix the game as much as possible. Even if remastered is running on 1.19 engine, there's bound to be bugs that need fixing. I'm only slightly irritated because there were plenty of people who were playing the new 1.18 version over 1.16 to provide great feedback that not only fixed many of the initial issues that 1.18 PTR brought, but also provided amazing discussion overall on BW itself. IMO, these people should have been granted an access to ensure that they can provide the same quality feedback before the actual release of the game. 2 weeks or 2 days, if these people are given a chance to try and test things out, they can encounter bugs that may have slipped through QA, much faster than the SC2 personalities who may not even realize that things changed from 1.16 till now. | ||

This was one of the things that annoyed me when I was at my peak, or maybe a bit before my peak, since that courage result and TSL2 obviously got me a lot of instant praise. Anyway, there's quite a bit of lag on recognition in general. The best players from a few years ago (or in this case, almost a decade ago) are treated better than the current best. If I was in charge of invites, I'd definitely go out and find the current best top foreigners and get them all in. Getting in a few "foreigner legends" and some current popular SC2 personalities would be great as well, but you've gotta be most in touch with the guys who are currently the most passionate and invested. And that's why i've always had a lot of respect for you. I always the impression that you are the kind of person to not rest on your laurels and who doesn't participate in stimulating the hype around your "persona" as a SC2 Pro / known celebrity. I salute you on your attitude and wanna add, that i think many invitees probably think like you do. It's Blizzards (understandable) interest to invite people who bring a lot of viewers that led to this invite distribution. And I'm sceptical about it for the same points you address. Adding to your observation, that there's some delay between peak and recognition i would like to add: from my pov, i sometimes think top player in 'post sc2 beta times' get a little less credit then they deserve. That's of course because Sc2 has a big audience that is informed about the best foreigners in Sc2 and there achievement's in Broodwar prior, but the audience for Broodwar itself between 2007 and today was very small by comparison. Our productions were smaller, with less budget, we did it without blizzard support and we had less viewers. That explains to me why there seems to be a slight lack of recognition. Then again it's not important, Beta is gonna be short and we still have 1.19 to play on in the meantime. | ||

Still leaves me in awe how people complain about not being able to play a half-finished game. Besides this, they already know about the gameplay problems for months, but they either don't care about it or are incompentent in that regard. The whole 1.18 patch was basically a beta for remastered. I am surprised Blizzard officially calls this pre-release a beta. But I doubt anything of substance will improve until mid August. | ||

It's not the sc2 streamers/players fault BW players didn't get invites. | ||

"traitors" ROFL if you were a BW pro once you're never allowed to play any other games besides BW ever again I guess | ||
