Why not? It's a new and exciting way to play StarCraft, and it's probably the closest we'll ever get to competitive team matches.
Hype!!!

I second varsovie's statement. I think Archon Mode is a cool idea but it has no place in competition, it just dumbs down the game when it doesn't need to be

I think they might be coming from the perspective of Archon mode being in LotV and the fact that LotV is horribly unbalanced and poorly design as of right now.
Either way, I'm excited.

Im excited to see what archons will emerge as much as how those games pan out.
maybe this will be the flavor of the month mode, but I bet they can squeeze a couple of good events out of it!

Red Bull has done lots of fun tournaments in the past, so I don't see why everyone is showing hate. It'll be fun, and nothing too serious.

This is interesting, although I wish they'd come up with a series of tournaments like they did last year. I want to go to one ;(
|
siiiiiick :D
archon mode is the best
|
Sounds cool. If the players practice for this we'll probably get to see really neat things.
|
Maybe for funsy matches, but please, don't put serious money on this...

Rob was tweeting a few weeks ago looking to see if Archon Mode was possible in HotS so I wouldn't be shocked if its the current game.

I like the idea. Maybe we'll see foreign duos beating Korean duos on a regular basis? :D
EDIT: Just watched the VoD. Call me gay but that was cute.
|
I wonder if they'll add a twist to it. Special maps, or maybe BW style team melee with workers from different races?

I'm not thrilled about Archon mode, but I'm intrigued on at least a casual sense. And casual me loves him some sick map intros, well-enunciating english casters, and an efficiently-run tournament.

Til they add archon mode in proleague. hahhahaha
|
its just fun- nothing wrong with having some archon mode events!
|
I'd love to watch this. I think Archon mode has a ton of potential for both interesting play and fun silliness.
|
I liked the dbz fusion dance. Event should be interesting
|
maybe i'm alone on this, but i don't think archon mode is fun to watch at all. unless they come up with a good observer UI that helps the viewer understand which player is doing what, it's just confusing. there's no added enjoyment from watching a team of two players if the distinction between them is invisible!
