I played WoW for 2 years and finished top in season 1 arena and I can barely understand shit of what's going on because of camera viewing limitations haha. It's sooo bad. I think Joe is lying!

So SC2 which Blizz promotes globally as a/THE competitive esport has to suffer through general internet and B.NET lag and connection issues, but the MMO cash-cow gets dedicated servers for something that objectively is a worse spectator experience. GJ Blizz... glad you're enjoying your Bizarroworld logic. Nah, It's tournament servers separated from the regular live ones, but they're still online

You said it dude, makes me cringe, the commentator dude or whoever the guy is on stage with longer hair doesn't help making things more comfortable. Although to be fair even most of the SC2 questionnaire sessions so far have been really bad too lol.

Tbh I think competitive raiding would become a better e-sport than Arena.

Well, BGs are more strategic based, arenas is a lot dependant in teams setup and rng factor. :/ And i think BGs would be easier to understand from people who never play the game.

I've played some wow before so I understood what was going on. The new ui they used is bad. Still easier to follow than SC: bw

But yer realistically, you have WSG, and in WSG there's really just 1-2 real battles going on, the other ones are just getting your opponent out of position, like you could see via drops in SC2.
But yer, getting 10-15 people together in each team :/ Would still be epic, even if it was online with stream delay.

That's an interesting idea. I certainly think there's room for such a scene. I'd check it out.
