Gambit mentioned that he said it was faster than LAN.

might be better to have all the skilled people on shield battery like fish back in the day, so all the newbs can play each other without going on a 200 loss streak
Also may be great to have daily proleague/k-league hybrid sponsored (by foreigners partially) with foreigners vs foreigners for 1-2 matches, hosted on shield battery, kinda like how they have hybrid leagues with e-girls.
Also shield battery university

There's no way to force people of any skill to play on SB but a lot of CPL players have joined, and obviously the more people of all skill levels that join, the better balanced games can be across the board. I think there's a lot of positive word of mouth however, and we're seeing a lot of new accounts from all over the world.

Of course there is no way to force anyone, but back then during fish/iccup times, only those who actually know about Fish/iccup joined it, typically those who are inside the scene and at a higher level. This decreases the skill level overall on normal battle.net significantly. At least back then it was not impossible for total newbs to win a game unlike today and total skill level back then was not lower than today among the vast majority of people playing.

the recent frequently broken bnet ladder is sort of forcing active streamer/players to look for alternatives too
|
The ladder pool has increased by over 600 players in the last week or so now over 1,100 players(more than doubled). Only about a fifth of the new people have joined the new league. So it's not just one thing bringing them in.
The outreach is working.
So cool watching this grow in real time.

With ISBL, Pluto debacle, Young Players Tournament, multiple LANs in NA over the course of several years, rollback on SB, SCHNAIL coming to RM, the recent burst of tools for RM in general, CPL still going on, BSL of course, top tier Koreans connecting to SB while streaming in the wake of Battle.net/Blizzard shortcomings and failures... it truly feels like a third age of BW, another revival  I don't wanna jinx it but this really feels like an exciting time to be a BW fan
