Almost one year has passed since the release on SCremastered, how is the population going outside Korea? Is there any sign of growth ? I'd like to check some websites of stats like rankedftw for sc2, but I can't find anything similar for Brood War.
P.s: news about 2v2 ladder? I'd really like to play it with a friend, but I haven't read news about it in a long time

I don't think we have growth. I would say we're kind of like back to a stable player pool.

Can you also see the server activity over a longer time frame than just 1 week on starlog.gg?

I don't believe there's been any update to 2v2 or any 2v2 ladder afaik. It's all a work in progress. As for the population, I personally still play on ICCup and 1.16.1 but US East doesn't have much of a pop and the rest of the US/Asia gateways are usually in the hundreds. I believe only KR one has a large enough pop.

About 500 people online and 60 games being played is standard. Pretty horrible to be honest.

Remastered is odd in that U.S. West is more heavily populated than U.S. East. In my experience it's usually the opposite.

Thank you, this is what I was looking for. Btw the 500 peak in Europe is pretty depressing , but quite expected: the launch of remastered was extremely bad multiplayerwise

They really ought to combine US West and US East. Nowadays the average internet latency from Seattle to NYC is about 80ms.

SCBW is just too challenging for today's generation. People who grew up with easy-mode tap-and-pray games like Angry Birds and LoL won't give 2 minutes to a hyper-competitive game where they will lose the first 1000 matchmaking games until they reach iccup D-rank level (ie some knowledge of hotkeys/build orders/timings) and are able to enjoy themselves.

In summary, SCBW is the Badwater Ultramarathon of videogames. You're not ever going to have a huge participation.

Besides, Blizzard acknowledged a year ago that SC:R was being released "for the fans" who had continually supported and played the game for 20 years. It was never intended to blow up to become the next League of Legends.

In what generation does the vile fastest map possible community fall in? Thats not the HARDCORE!! community you are talking about, or? Someone must have made that thing popular and dumb down the game. But why would they do that.... Also pretty sure that your generation was mostly playing UMS

As one who essentially replaced starcraft with running I find this analogy marvelous

its a generation which think that Lol and Dota is too challenging and also think that battle royale games can actually be made competitive (extremely cringe considering the old days of arena shooters).

League of legends is actually challenging when you play certain champions. anybody that says that Dopa Faker or any other top LoL pro is not a gifted gamer is just ignorant, the same argument can be made for Dota 2 and a few other games like pubg or fortnite.

I agree that the learning curve of BW is just too hard for new players to enjoy. is not like LOL or Dota where u need to level your account for a number of games before you are able to play competitive, in BW you are directly thrown into 20+ years of gaming experience and that shit is scary...

imagine how many people would enjoy LoL if in your 1st week playing the game you join a public game and you have to face a team with 2 Challengers and a Diamond player...

one of my best friends was a bw player since 2003-2010, then quit and started League with me and other dudes, when sc:r came out he played for a few months, then quit cause he said that the game was too stresful for him to enjoy anymore... you can't blame the public for thinking that a game is just way too hard to enjoy.

Not sure about blaming the public, but certainly there's something wrong, right? It was just as hard for me when I started like 20 years ago, but we didn't stop because of that; we felt challenged. Nowadays, it seems challenging people is a crime.

EDIT: Ok; I'm wrong about "just as hard". Still stand by the latter argument.

as someone who played a lot of iCCUP during the "Dark Ages" of BW regularly I would only see about 100 people online at iCCUP at any one time during the day or evening in Europe. So this is a huge improvement.
