agreed
In any case, the skin kinda gives BW an indie/more modern feel which is really cool. Could be the start of something promising if it sells really well. I'd love to have micro-transactions in the game, maybe even something similar to SC2's warchest down the line? Or they could just release new skins (in-game and chat channels), maybe even made by outside sources (like Carbot)?
I'm sure there'd be a big market for it, especially in Korea.

I don't know what surprises me more, the fact that SCR is getting a full reskin set or that nobody has complained about lack of 2v2 ladder in this thread yet.

What an overhaul.
That's a lot of terrain work.
This will be used lots.

I actually wonder most about the unanimous praise (well-deserved though it is) an lack of complaints about balance implication (can see units under swarm??!! Zergorz imbaaaaaaaarz!). Hope modern maps with with lots of custom terrrain editing will look good too. Anyway, I am off catching up on Carbot videos now ;D

So much this! This is the absolute right way (because user-friendly) to implement skins and other customizable content - make it OPTIONAL for everyone to see.
I, personally, would rather like to see other skins than Carbot, though, but as long as I get to deactivate them on my end, keep 'em coming!

from the screenshot i notice that even the minimap colour scheme has a cartoony hue/tone to it now. possibly easier to spot inc drops during a game. pay2win confirmed /s
other possible points
how irradiate is implemented, could be easier or harder to pick out the affected muta in the stack.
how cloaked units look like undetected to the opponent. could be easier/harder to spot and snipe the observer that is floating over your base atm etc.

The absolute best thing about this is that it's client side. I think everyone can be happy about that!

I am mostly excited about it as a way for more people to enjoy the game. Hopefully the 'cuteness' factor will attract the demographic that SC hasn't in the past.

It's awesome to see this kind of stuff, but voicepack and carbot skin weren't even in the 2019 priority list.
people are wanting team rank games, and we don't get any news of it

Because matching several people on peer to peer sucks ass. Even modern 1v1 p2p games have problems. Just look at fighting games

It's just incredible! I can play with my nephew now and trigger girls to play sc1 lol

It's not confirmed that you can use it on ladder.
Still that even just thinking of Carbot Desert Strike and other ums makes me lose my mind xD
