Sexellent.

I made a comment in an SC2 forum thread a while ago about how amazed I am at the patience and receptive nature of blizz in making this game. What you've shared with us here reinforces that feeling.

Blizz is a great company through and through, we can be certain of that.

I like them listening to fans in a way, but i'm also afraid they're succumbing to the requests of the general public. So far, i feel a lot of things that were spammed on tl were changed:

- soul hunter out
- fast responses
- tank redesign
- medic back

It's good that blizzard listens, but they should not be afraid to say no to things either and go with the way they want things to be. They're the professionals, not us.

They aren't afraid to say no to things, there are countless amounts of bullshit all over the place that they've completely ignored

fast response time was always part of the game

Fucking sweet, it was cool how they were walking around while players were playing the game at blizzcon, actually asking specific gamers what they think of the game. This game will blow away all of our expectations, it's going to be great.

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.
I'm quoting this purely so that Dustin or Pillars might see it if they missed it the first time.

If words were pictures, if those words, written by you (Mani) were a picture, it would be the most beautiful one.

Good one Mani.

I totally agree with Nony's post. I think initial Blizzard support for competitive gaming will help jump-start esports in the US.
the world's a playground. you know that when you're a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.

Heres a Ney Say:

Sometimes I worry about the problems that might arise when giving the masses what they believe they want.... just remember SC1 wasn't openly debated or designed to this magnitude and everyone here loves what was made and given to them. As the saying goes 'too many cooks spoil the meal' so I hope we dont argue too much about what the end product is going to be and allow for some creativness to have its chance.

zzzz... Yea, Blizzard is trying to let the mindless masses design their game!...

For fuck's sake, they are the best at what they do--they know what to take from feedback and what is noob shit. We don't have to "allow" Blizzard to do its thing, how stupid do you imagine them to be?

Can i ask that blizzard devote more time to Chinese gamers? With the release of starcraft 2, the Chinese scene is going to be huge but the support is lacking.

I know it is difficult to integrate Chinese gamers with the rest of bnet but consider setting up a Chinese bnet gateway in China. Money is not an issue for blizzard and it will help alot of people.
