Has anyone had experience with changing their Starcraft 2 Battle.net "real name"?
If so, what were the documents and things required (what do they ask for)?
I have. They made me fill out a form and send a copy of my ID. I was just changing the account name from using my middle name to using my first name though. You can't completely change the name on the account no matter what.

Ok here it goes - can't decide where to put this one and it's sort of Sc2 related.
What's ur opinion about emmbeding/restreaming other players Sc2 streams on your website without asking them for permission? IMO it's kind unethical? Or it's totally fine as you can't block stream adverts and they will get more viewers by doing that?
Just ask for permission, I highly doubt they would have a reason to say know but its better to just give them a PM then to just do it ^^

Hey guys low diamond league Terran needing some help analyzing a replay of mine (vs low diamond league zerg). It's from that 1v1 obs metalpolis. TvZ with cross positions: I spawn at 6, he spawns at 12. I open reactor hellions, don't do a lot of damage (there are roaches out) but I expand with them. Do a marine/tank push that he holds off as his infestor pops (he goes pure infestor/roach). I take my 3rd before him. Do a huge drop in the main (snipe infestation pit), but lose drop. I'm playing on a really laggy computer though, can't multitask that well; push toward his 3rd at the time with all my tanks and he cleans that up no problem. I've been building ghosts, marine, tank, getting my ups. Even though I've been throwing away troops I feel like I've been keeping pace with the zerg; I'm equal harvesters with the gold base fourth. We both have decent macro. And then after I drop his 5th - made a mistake there and end up not killing it but w/e there are no drones - he just overruns my gold base (too laggy for me to emp at all really - I'm talking 20 fps low settings everything, and besides that there's big lag in game (you see spam conversation from me after lag ends) - but I had seiged tanks and bio there and I just get killed. If I had not dropped on the main, or waited for some more bio before I pushed 3rd after the game, do you think I would have won? After game stats I checked I had 10k more resources mined them him, was macroing better, on par with ups (1/0 tanks about to be 2/0, 3/1 bio vs 2/2 roach infestor). Broodlords were starting for him and broodlord infestor is so annoying to deal with, with just constant fungals.
Replay:

EDIT: wrote he spawns at 9 instead of he spawns at 12 ._.

Are the leagues locked right now?

Why isn't anyone on TL talking about the new HOTS screenshots???

Yes. There is a thread about it.
This may sound stupid, but I really need to know. When I look at my profile on BattleNet, I notice my name is written in parenthesis after my username. Am I the only one who can see this, or do my friends see it too? What about complete strangers? If others can see it, how can I remove it?

Where is the discussion about the HotS leaked pictures? I don't want to create a new thread...

Others can't see the Nick(Real name), or however it may be depending on where you see it, you have on your profile page and friends list. Your real name can only be seen by the Real name friend thingy(The one that requires e-mail to add a friend).

I was waiting the May thread to talk about it:
Cross-region play could never come for the same reasons Latin America region is segregated from North America region.
So, if allowing players to get into other regions for free isn't an option, then I ask, is it possible to allow players to play international games without allowing them to play in another region ladder?
Let's say that they make an global/international "region" (just like the public test "region"), but that region doesn't have a ladder, it's for customs only. What bad effect could it have to Blizzard "plans"? I think it could be a solution and maybe we should ask for it more firmly. Futhermore, it would be great to see an ultimate league that have all grandmasters from around the world fighting for the title of "Top X in the world". Then, we'd have a region that only the best of each region would have access to the ladder, so people wouldn't quit their region for the "international" one, but they could also use it for customs.
I think that this is a cool idea and I wanted to share here so people could maybe make it even better and maybe one day Blizzard will actually put it in practice perhaps? ^^ Awesome suggestion. Just to build off your idea, Blizz should implement a system for tournament LAN only on this international server, like keying in passwords that blizz gives out for each successful tournament application. This password is valid for a few days only and allows for virtual LAN between the players instead of connecting through the server? I can see how easily this can work out for both blizz and tournament organizers. No more latency QQ... There would still be latency though because you're playing across large distances.
Yea...

I didn't find a general discussion thread for broodwar, and I don't think this warrants a topic. I've always wondered: what's the correct pronunciation of "bonjwa"? I have searched and I found somewhere that it's "boon ja" but the way Tastosis and people on SOTG says is way too different to that so I'm not sure.

Which forum is more heavily moderated, the SC2 Strategy Forum or the BW Strategy Forum? It seems to me that it is the former.

I kicked in 20 bucks, the same as pretty much any ticket price for a feature length film in theaters. Can't wait to hear the players talk about their own lives and how they got there.

I think that blizzard knows that when they put a LAN then that's the point when the game becomes easily hacked, not exactly easily but i think some good hackers can pull out something and then blizzard losses and everyone who bought the game originaly losses as well naturally. anyways blizzard is aware of the problem of the regions but still want to make some money, and they know that if they seperate it into regions there will be some people that will buy US and EU version for example, then they get more money, and more than that the latency between the regions in B.NET, but where there is other regions and not that much of a latency problem, so they allowed, as someonesaid to america both north and south. so i am not sure about ther LAN thing, while i am sure that international server is not yet availble any time soon.
anyways i wanted to talk about the buffs zergs gets while terran and protoss nerfed, u realize that while toss and terran got nerfed 20 seconds and 30 seconds for stim pack for terran, it's automaticly more time for the zerg to drone, so there's ur buff zergs players for the recent patches, huge buff for my opinion, because the most problem for zerg was 4gate and MM push.
anyways i think that the new archon is great for toss very late game, and it's not making deathball much more stronger, not more than it should be because zergs has broodlords and ultras which are pretty much effective against the death ball if used correctly, but archons against terran are pretty much very good unless u get EMPed, so yeah still terrans can pwn toss with archons, if microed correctly with his ghosts.
what do you guys think?
I just don't understand what cross region has to do with piracy, it is sort of lame that you can't attempt to get on other servers, you just have to buy another copy of the game.

One thing I have to ask and I'm pretty sure it doesn't warrant it's own thread...
It's widely accepted that the 9 overlord is just so, so slightly better than the extractor trick.
But what about going 9 overlord, starting your 10th drone and then extractor tricking to get your 11th drone started a little bit faster?
I haven't seen anything about that. The thing is when the overlord pops you just have 100 mins to build 2 more drones with your two larva, you're 12 drone will be delayed if you did what you said, but Im not sure if its worth it or not. Counting the cost of canceling the extracter and the lost mining time probbally counter any gain you get from getting the drone faster 
That doesn't make sense. How can your 12th drone be delayed cause of extractor trick? It would arrive at the same time with either method. The 11th drone would spawn earlier with the extractor trick.
If you send the drone that carries the 70th mineral and send it to the extractor, the timing will be perfect for you to create the 11th drone. As your drone moves to the extractor the 50th mineral will arrive. The second your drone mutates you can make the drone, cancel and bring it to the mineral line. The loss of mining time is neglible, and if anything the 11th drone arrving earlier will at least compensate for that lost time. However, doing the double extractor trick is a no no.
imo it really doesn't matter whether you use the extractor trick or not for the 11th drone. I do it to keep my fingers active and ready for ling micro.

It'll come out when it's ready, standard Blizzard procedure.

Does anyone know how many MB a typical HQ GSL game is? I have a 60GB d/l cap per month, and I download a lot of shows and movies too. I'm guessing a couple hundred MB? Am I way off here?
