Blizzard has many plans in place on how to better integrate the sites into their overall SC2 plan. One I am at liberty to talk about ...


I like how you always plant these hype-creating little hints that you are planning things for the site that noone knows about. good job.

How about some BW tournaments in North America and Europe so that people can get excited about playing StarCraft? Many people are returning to BW because of the announcement of SC2 and they just see a long-standing dry spell of Blizzard-supported competitive events. We recently received League Development Kits from Blizzard, but the only league to have popped up was taken down partly due to buggy league software. Another reason for its disappearance was its refusal to provide a competition without reliable anti-hack, something that we can all agree should be provided by Blizzard, especially when they are encouraging online-play via LDK.

Blizzard has given us a BW tournament as a part of BlizzCon, but it's more of a spectacle than an actual competition. This year, the two non-Korean players who were invited were just repeats from last year. When one of them said he can't go, Blizzard just asked the remaining player to recommend someone. As for the 6 Koreans, only half of them are currently good. The rest are just fan favorites. More of a spectacle than an actual competition. A series of tournaments to determine who gets to compete BlizzCon would have been the most important event for any non-Korean BW player. When all the Blizzard guys are watching the BW tournament at BlizzCon, instead of thinking of how cool it is that the Koreans love their game so much that they have mastered it to a level beyond the reach of any foreigner, they should be ashamed for the exact same reason. The only reason the Koreans got so good was incentives -- incentives we seriously lack in the US.

SC2 is the chosen one. It's the RTS that has a chance to make a huge mark in competitive gaming. With Blizzard's support, it can become the best game in the world to play competitively. Push for TV time in the US and for bigger prizes than any other game has ever had. When SC2 launches, its first year should be a blitzkrieg of events. The increased community relations can play an integral role for promotion, satellite tournaments, etc. View StarCraft community leaders as a legion of volunteer workers. They are already volunteering their time and money for BW sites, but when SC2 comes out, they can become an organized army under the leadership of Blizzard. It'd be every community leader's dream to play a role in making SC2 the hands-down best e-sports game. Plan ahead.

Excellent write up. It's a delight to hear that Blizzard is letting the community have their voices heard. This game will be at the top, 100% fact. Blizzard has gone a great job of creating the suspense and anticipation of this game. However, in order to get this game to truly revolutionize and take over the RTS scene, there needs to be that bond directly between the company and the community (which blizzard has taken intiative of). Again, great job and looking forward to more updates!

First let me just say that i love the post by Mani, just amazing.

Second i gotta agree with pretty much everything NonY said, SC2 has the potential to take progaming and gaming in general to a whole new level with Blizzards support, I hope with the help from Blizzard we can see some events or tournaments or anything here in Europe or North America. It would help in not only getting the rest of the world more interested in SC2 but help in getting the non-gaming crowd here to recognize how big this thing is. As mentioned above there is zero incentive to actually try hard in the US and even less in Europe, We will never get passed this stage if things remain as they are right now.

We make signature, then defense it.

Played a 2on2 tournament - lost to Manifesto and Meat

We came there when BlizzCon was still being set up but the StarCraft 2 computers were up and running. All the representatives of the fan sites (14ish or so) got to play and together with Karune and Stephanie from Blizzard, we quickly started up a 2on2 tournament. I was playing with LordofAscension and we got beaten by Manifesto and Liquid`Meat the first game. Suprise?

But this goes against everyone saying not to criticize SC2 from the getgo and to suck the duck. Thanks fascist mental state, i could of made SC2 even greater than the first but its too late ^_^. Anyway i already wrote all my SC2 ideas out 2+ years ago, maybe there still floating around somewhere.
