They may be a tad bit slow, but that's only to perfect the final content. Ummm ... I really have to disagree here, because Blizzard knew A LOT of the issues with their Battlenet right from the start of WoL beta and failed to act. The game of WoL isnt perfect either and they didnt really learn or try hard enough to improve it either. The problem is the usual "mouse in a running wheel" problem. They are soo stuck inside the process of working on new stuff that they dont take the time to pause and look at their current state and if their running wheel might be missing a few drops of oil. They instead try to run with more force to keep it running and the design of many of the super-funky (speak: exptreme) units for HotS shows that. They really need to do some basic QUALITY CONTROL on their previous work and try to OBJECTIVELY think if they really did the right thing. The mistakes are so blatantly obvious to many people outside of their development team that it shouldnt be really that hard to find them and correct them ... even if it includes them admitting mistakes. | ||

The game needs casual modes such as arcade, big game hunters, fastest money maps, race wars etc.... This is what will bring in casuals. At the same time the competitive aspect needs to be harder, this helps the casual player base as well because they will admire the pros and be more into spectating games. | ||

I didn't know about the illegal/exemption thing though, that's interesting. Though I have to say, that eSports doesn't necessarily go by the same laws that we recognize in the Real World. It's not illegal if that governing organization is Blizzard itself, using it's intellectual property rights to use of its game as leverage to force organizers to cooperate. There is something I have been thinking about and considering lately, and the more I think about it, the more certain I am that this could possibly be THE solution to the problems people are seeing with the SC2 scene and tournament saturation. Imagine if a central competition governing body was able to coordinate with all of the major tournament organizations worldwide, convince them to adopt a single ruleset and mappool, and further, organize all of these tournaments into a weighted world-championship style points system, in which placings at each event (GSL, Dreamhack, MLG, IPL, IEM, etc.) are worth a certain amount of points for certain placings, and periodically as determined by Blizzard, the current champion must face the current #2 in points standings for the title. Because think about one simple question that can differentiate SC2 from some other popular sports; "who is the champion?" How do you answer that? "Well, Mvp won GSL, Taeja won Dreamhack, HerO won MLG event x, etc. etc. etc.", it's too much, and none of these events have an effect on one another. It's a hodge-podge clusterfuck in which viewers watch events only based on who is playing in them, not because of some larger importance they hold. What if, as a fan of a Protoss player (for argument's sake, let's say Rain) is the current "champion" under this format. Ordinarily, I have no reason to watch the GSL finals, as all Protoss involvement is gone, and my favorite player is out. The tournament has reset for me. But what if Mvp and Life were #2 and #3 on the contender's list? I would watch to see who would win to challenge my favorite player for the unified championship in x amount of time. This would not only provide incentive for viewers to watch tournaments they ordinarily wouldn't because a unification would add importance to inter-tournament happenings, but furthermore, it would give incentive to PLAYERS to travel to and participate in tournaments they otherwise wouldn't for exactly the same reason, making ALL involved tournaments better due to higher quality players, and BENEFITING all involved tournaments by allowing them to share viewers. | ||

But yea i do agree with pretty much everything i see, we dont need auto mine blizzard. It's more like this is the best time possible to affect real change. We've finally got an open beta and a Blizzard that's actively listening and improving the game week by week, and a direct line to both the eSports department through Cloaken and the devs through Rock and Dayvie. If we don't act now, we'll be settling for less than what it could be. So now's the best time there is to try and make sure we don't get left behind by LoL and Dota 2. | ||

Yep... I bought Sc2 on day of release and never looked back for a second.. know why? Because original BW nexus wars, strip maze (lol), evolves, tank defence, turret defence, that one map where you make a wall then break it to release units, etc, were all so fucking fun that it made me play some melee games and kept me playing a mix of UMS (which still uses the same basic UI and mechanics as melee... so you feel like your improving overall when you play them) and melees until this day (where I've dropped UMS because of how bad battle.net 2.0 is) Battle.net 2.0 being as good as battle.net 1 is the key to success. | ||
