People are already sharing accounts to compete in tournaments, its just a little messy. If people are already doing it, why can't they help make it a bit easier? Because selling 2 or 3 copies of sc2 to every player is more profitable than 1 copy. | ||

Blizzard needs to realize the importance of having a global community. | ||

It does an excellent job at fixing many of the problems that were present in both Warcraft 3 and Brood War. The match making system is solid. I believe that Blizzard has succeeded in creating a competitive atmosphere which almost entirely eliminates the need for LAN play. I don't get what's so good about B.Net2.0. A competitive atmosphere? We created it. They could have given us a blank interface with one "play" button in the middle of the screen and the result would have been the same. There is simply nothing outstanding about bnet 2.0 and it has none of the vibrant life bnet1.0 had in starcrafts early years. It is a ghost interface with little shitty xbox live gimmicks like avatars and achievements for a bored and underachieving audience and there is wasted space all over. Yes the spectator interface is not bad and the matchmaking makes things easier. But the lack of chat rooms, watching replays online together, presenting personal statistics in a interesting manner (just look at iccup ffs), the total whatthefuckage that is called ladder and divisions and now the complete separation of the community by key do not impress me the least. But hey. At least there is one poor smuck who has to draw medals and trophies all day for our glorious achievements...i swear one day you get an achievement just for opening the game package... | ||

The big international events will invite players from all over the world anyway, online will become more meaningless as more international tournaments pop up. The worst thing about this is you fact you can't play with some of your best friends, unless you buy both editions, which i'm sure the majority of players will do. | ||

Brad April 24 2010 13:45. Posts 53 PM Profile Quote (Before it's recent downfall.) Counter Strike, arguably the biggest eSport game in the Western world, never needed cross continent interaction to be a successful eSport. Obviously it sucks that you can't practice with your friends, but it wouldn't be the end of SC2 as an eSport. The big international events will invite players from all over the world anyway, online will become more meaningless as more international tournaments pop up. The worst thing about this is you fact you can't play with some of your best friends, unless you buy both editions, which i'm sure the majority of players will do. I dunno about you, but I'm 17. I don't have $100+ dollars to throw around for extra copies of a game... | ||

My point was more directed to the competitive scene, but yeah, the worst thing is that you can't play with some of your friends, but it's nothing new. This whole region thing has been happening for the past few years, mainly from MMO's. It sucked for WoW. | ||

This will hurt the competitive scene, even if whitera and tlo buy three copies, having to purchase three copies just to play competitively is going to hurt the development of the scene badly. | ||

How will it hurt WhiteRa and TLO? I'm pretty sure the EU & US guys will get enough practice from there respected regions. You don't have to play guys from the US to get better, and vice versa. They will train online and then play eachother at WCG, ESWC, ESL, MLG, Dreamhack, etc, etc or whatever companies pick up SC2 (Which i'm guessing will be all of them.). | ||

Don't forget: 3 copies of the the original, then 3 copies of each expansion, so 9 total. That puts you in the hole over $500 if you want to play with everybody. Fucking bullshit. | ||
