Not so sure about that. Everyone expects it to revitalise SC2, but from what I've seen so far, I'm not convinced. After all, it's the same guys who made WoL.


Im not really worried that the guys who made what is probably the best RTS ever (though they did have a good template to work off of) can deliver an expansion pack thatll be good.

I'm confused. Are you referring to WoL as the best RTS ever? If so, that's ridiculous. If you mean BW, very few people remain from those who created that. And if you think having BW as a template is a sure sign of success, just look at how WoL turned out.


I was very intentinoally referring to sc2 because I have no idea who is still on that team from BW nor did it really matter that much.

Wait a minute you were actually referring to SC2??? Best RTS ever?? I think they did a good job competing for the worst RTS ever slot. Unfortunately, there are 2 or 3 game that were worse than SC2. But it is close, very close.


starcraft 2 is way more successful and definitly way more balanced and controlled than other popular rts games. probably top 5 at least.


Exactly, for all its issues, SC2 is quite a good game. Have some pride in the eSport that you follow.

So MMA was getting burnt out and his "punishment" was just to get some R&R away from the teamhouse.... seems plausible.

Passion returns! Slayers do NOT get rid of MMA, he will return stronger than ever when he sees his rivals win tournaments to adoring fans. Make MMA watch Alicia win an MLG or something.

Errmahgerdd, youre so cool for hating on SC2! Youre so above it all, I wish I could be as cool as you because disliking a popular thing obviously means youre better than it making you super cool!!

....Seriously? SC2 is a great game. I don't know what makes you think it's the worst. Or why youre here on a forum that deals primarily with BW and SC2 for that matter if you think that SC2 is the worst RTS game.

Think harder and you'll get what he meant. Its not that hard. Hint: Remember the origins of this site and read your last sentence.

MMA is one of my favourite players and this whole situation is just sad. If he is tired for good just let him pursue is own interests, if its just a momentary thing, I think a better team move would be to keep him in their environment and "nurture him back to health". That would give some respect to what he did for them and would probably increase the team's changes to recover one of their best (if not the best) players.

MMA looks a lot happier in the booth right now... I'm guessing a lot of things have been smoothed over.

Yeah...I think Crank was actually talking about himself and not MMA.....and that amkes me think MMA has not lost his passion.

Seriously, Crank cant speak english well, so digest everything you read. I dont think it even says taht MMA lost his passion. Just some people translating it as that.

OOHHH LOOK!! sexual scandal again!!!! Damn these people must think it is super duper cool to post something sexual related.

After all the stupid stuff in the previous MMA thread, must we have another one filled with sexual scandals?
Regarding the imbalance, hilarious to see Zergs defending themselves....

Was waiting for this. And it's even from the guy i expected to post this drivel.

You really take any chance you get to shit on the devs and game, don't you?

It's not like, maybe just maybe, MMA doesn't feel like spending 10+ hours of practise a day (with the risks of CTS and other injuries) is worth it?
