Players on teams like Mousesports, EG and Fnatic, are 'professional gamers' per se. Just because they don't earn 300k like Flash doesn't make them not professional. They play for a professional gaming team.

Pro League matches = like the OSL prelims. It's not a big deal if replays are auto-uploaded. Since I doubt people who are in the Pro League will ONLY play in the Pro League, I don't see this as having a big impact on creative builds. After all, if I'm practicing something innovative, I'm going to be doing it in a custom game with a practice partner, right?

Would it basically become the WC3 ladder 'pro league' that is invite only? The top qualifiers of that is invited to the blizzard invitation tournaments.

Because SC2 is so popular, LAN events will be will the staple of competition (Just like CS, etc), online would turn into merely practice area.

If you want Esports to become legitimate then you have to allow for people to examine opponents strengths and weaknesses. The only way to do that is being able to watch their games. Ladder matches will be the public games and spectators will have something to watch as well. Custom games will remain like a private practice and Blizzard won't touch those, so you can work on your super secret strats.

The more people whine and cry about public ladder games being released the less legitimacy SC2 Esports will have. Progress means things changing and if you want to make some sort of "stand" against the "man" for making your precious ladder matches public, someone else will take your place. There are people that will be the best at SC2 that haven't even heard of the game yet. Go ahead and fracture the player base before it's even been established just because you don't want to do things a different way.

It will be like the WC3 Blizzard invitational ladder is my guess.

No chat channels at ship is ridiculous... I don't get hey blizzard would completely remove communicationbetween players...

They have been basing a lot of their decisions on newer players but how can newer players without experienced friends even learn from others if they can't find people to talk to in a public forum???

Just so disappointing.
They are here to right our fall, they have heard someones troubled call???

Wrong thread. This one is complaining about something else. Although all these complaint threads sound the same after a while, so I can't blame you for getting mixed up.

Incorrect. In that interview it was mentioned that chat channels would not be included. So this comment was pertinent to the discussion at hand.

I think Blizzard will handle this pro league just fine and even if it doesn't work out there will be multiple other venues for players to use.Just have some patience and faith in their system.

That ladder was so stupid, so many people threw games to teammates/friends to bump them up the ladder and it ended up deciding a lot of the tourney invites.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

pro players are going to be playing pro league, just like they do iccup. but of course they will heavily favor playing custom games or find a non-blizz non-sanctioned/network server to play on.

If blizz puts enough money into it then im sure pros(at least foreign pros) will join. I doubt people would use creative builds on it anyways, I mean the replays could still leak out that way. They would probably just practice creative builds against team mates(like korean pros do right now) and then use them in all sorts of tournaments. If blizz does put enough money into it and it becomes a prestigious league then it would be a gateway to other invitational tournaments.

If blizzard's proleague gets half the money that the WoW competitions get then great/pro players will play in them.

I'm thinking along those lines. If someone is developing a super secret build that they don't want to spoil, they won't try it in ladder games. Anyway, a good build should be able to win even if the enemy knows about it (or at least do well), catching your opponent by surprise is a one trick pony.

Pro anything means your games are watched. Any sport, and any esport imo. So to me that's just the burden that goes with the title.

well, another interpretation is that they upload the replays online for storage. so in case your computer gets wiped theyre stored on a database for posterity. and maybe not necessarily for public consumption.

Does this mean that the replays will be accessible to all or to just the pro league himself? I mean, is it just automatic, free online storage for the gamer, or is it available to the public.

Unless I misread, I bet it is just auto-storage as a perk for the pro league players. Not necessarily making the replays automatically public.

[EDIT] I must have just said what the the above poster said.

Care to shed some light on that? Was it any good or a huge failure, not caring for WC3 I don't know myself.

I am assuming it is going to be a system like HON, where all pro replays are stored in the cloud. You can search via player name, account or recent matches; request the download and its stored in your replays directory. So anyone with access to the cloud (anyone with a battlenet account) will have access to it.

They did mention incentives to play in the pro-league; so i assume that means cash prizes or flights to tournaments with cash prizes.
