"any rumors you've heard about a "pro edition" are just rumors. We've made no official announcements about that. We will address the needs of pro tournaments and eSports in a patch in the months after the release of SC2." | ||

In addition we have a lot more micro required by some of our units. You can get more out of a Hellion than you could a Firebat, you can get more out of Stalker Blink than you could a Dragoon. We have (we think) MORE micro than SC1, not less. | ||

DustinB Professional BroodWar maps are for professional broodwar players.=) We are not planning on introducing those types of maps to the ladder in the near future. Ladder maps are smaller and less complicated on purpose because they have to serve a much wider community than the top 1% of players. We expect that professional players will be making their own maps and we will see more and more of those in tournament play going forward. this was in regards to a question about map size etc... so after a few months the ladder becomes pointless im assuming? | ||

Though they did say earlier that they would be adding user-made maps to the map pool, we'll have to see how this goes. | ||

I have no problem with that as long as they constantly change the map pool and incorporate some user maps (which they say they will do). Tournaments should make their own maps specifically for pro-gaming. | ||

I am not going to lie that question really made me sad. Its sad to know that the ladder is going to be dead and there won't exactly be a substitute like iccup to go play more "competitively". It sounds like blizzard is really boning us if they really plan on all their maps to be less complicated, and smaller like steppes -_-. This really is annoying because if the good players don't ladder and only practice against themselves then they will be the only ones really improving. Maybe i'm over thinking it but one of my biggest concerns now  | ||
