Well to be honest I knew this would happend because Blizzard simply does not have the competence or will to design a game for pro gamers.

Let the scrubs have their vanilla-no-skill SC2, I really dont care. I am not the best player out there but tbh when I got the beta I was so excited but only played my placement games to end up in gold then played maybe 5 more then didnt login for 2 weeks.
Been playing a few 2v2s with my friend which is ok but the game simply as of right now isnt very entertaining unles you fancy going a'la WoW-style which "counter-comp" counter-build is everything.

oh and btw if this is some pre-aprilfools joke I will have to delete my account :D

hope it's not an april fool that's impressive guys. It's a really good news, since I was also worried about the direction SC2 was following. (too warcaftish)

April fools (already the first in some parts of the world).. You almost got me.. But, making a mod for SC2 (at least this early at "BETA") would be impossible and your reviews of the game were not as harsh before. The name was taken from CSProMod.. The site does not link to any articles (liquipedia for example).

A great job on the joke! Very convincing!

haha, nice one.

actually, coming from the age of empires community, I have seen an unofficial patch used. It did split the community, but it made competitive gaming possible again.

If blizzard does a crap job at balancing, a fanpatch should definately be considered.

Some of those changes are mad impressive though. Honestly, would noobs really notice./complain if Stalkers pathed like dragoons? Probably not. Maraunder/Hellion switch is pretty amazing/

I love April Fools =D. When I read the article it was somewhat believable, but when I went to the site and it said "Starting with the release this month all TeamLiquid events will be run using SC2ProMod. We strongly urge other organizations that want to hold high level SC2 events and tournaments to adopt SC2ProMod. " I just had a big banana grin and was laughting out loud ^^.

Thanks TL =D!

The best April Fool's ever :D But I was puzzled by the time zone difference.. Is TL really in South Korean time or what?

I'm surprised nobody referenced (Super Smash Bros.) Brawl+ yet.
