I don't think it's anti climactic, but then, I never thought they were all being forced to switch to SC2 like some others...

Well that's all well and good but it seems like a bit of a waste. It can't be cheap to fly them over, and having them only watch blizzcon and gsl seems a little bit too little. Blizzard should've at least tried to got them to play sc2 so we could see their skills at work.

Seems like... a not "secret reason" to invite extremely popular pros to a event... more like... publicity... Nothing new really, so i dont see how this is really "news"...


Yah...kind of figured they would watch some SC2 while they were there...

Kind of disappointed that was the only reason they went. I'm assuming they're still not allowed to play SC2 publicly (even just show matches)?


Since a KESPA representative was there they probably could have made it work if they really wanted to as a sign of good faith since KESPA wants to get into sc2 when GOMs exclusive contract runs out.

Uhh, their skills are at playing BW. How does having them play SC2, a game they have little or no experience with, show anyone their skills?

So the only reason Blizz invited them was to sit in on the atmosphere of the two massive tourneys/audiences at the convention? Just to see how big it's gotten?

That's actually really fucking smart @_@

Cheap is a relative term. Those flights would be expensive to most individuals. To a company like Blizzard? Not even a footnote of a footnote. Better to just leave the invites as no-strings-attached.

Glad GSL finals had such an amazing crowd. Too bad the Blizzcon Invite wasn't as good, but I guess that just showed them how big even a flop of a tourny could be.
Pretend this quote is meaningful or humorous.

They were there to give a pro perspective on hots? there advice would weigh more than MVP or Neastea opinions according to my speculative brain.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

this is a pretty amazing article

this is an article about SC2 and esports that isn't introducing it to the masses

it's an article that expects the reader to fully know about sc2 already

like it's a mainstream thing.

That's the way i felt about it and it's awesome

So basically they were invited so that they could be duped into thinking that WoW and Blizzard fanboys are fans of pro SC2. I doubt they were impressed considering that large crowds showed up for the OSL and pro league finals.

Why can't the BW scene just be left alone without people cheer leading its demise? I'm really disappointed in you Slasher, you of all people should no what its like to see a great game scene fall apart, you shouldn't be bandwagoning the destruction of the BW scene.

A bit anticlimactic, but oh well. It will be interesting to see how things develop.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Yeah, and the part about crowd cheering less in korea was pretty funny too... They might want to watch a bit more BW VODs before talking nonsense.
