Balance has nothing to do with playing the actual game... In-game is about good mechanics and high speed, and while you need good knowledge about the game, it's about fast decision making, while balancing does not require you to make fast decisions, but you need to spend a LONG time deciding. Also, since patches will be tested, it still lets good players test them.. | ||

the game is actually not fun anymore... the fun part is beating a decent opponent, but you can do that with playing online chess - you don't need to practice 12 hours a day to get that feeling. SC2 balance at the moment is "DO THIS OTHERWISE YOU LOSE!"... there's no way to improvise or diversify anymore, it's not viable. it's all play boring standard or you'll probably lose. as far as i'm concerned ... balance could not get much WORSE considering there is a designated balance team. | ||

Specifically day9 who is "GM with all 3 races"...... Fortunately, they're more likely to not hire anyone at all than to hire some random Diamond-level chump.

They told me they already have an internal team doing what they want, but will occasionally interview people to try find the "perfect" candidate.

And to be honest, they're probably not going to hire anybody in the end. (a while back a friend interviewed for a similar position because they were in need of a Protoss player, but he told me they ended up not hiring anyone) | ||

There's a million other factors to it. All they want is someone who understands the game at least on a basic level, for now. | ||

I had a friend of a friend refer me for the job, never got a response from blizzard. My assumption is they are looking for someone with more time, as I am still a full time student. | ||

(yeah i was :D) gold players have 0 understanding of the game and are unable to follow correctly a build for more than 2minutes. | ||
