Whenever I wanted to play SC2BW the channel was always empty and I was forced to play my (bronze) brother
I really hope the community really jumps at this and we can get loads of SC2BW going!

LaLush after viewing the first sequence it appears those guys have improved upon scout micro lmao. You'd never see that in Vanilla SC let alone BW lol.

Hold on, was the scout always that good or was it just that no one used it because the cost was weird.

As I said a few posts ago. No, they accelerate and decelerate and they were expensive as shit. Corsairs were better in every way in terms of cost, splash damage output, controlling skies and d-web utility. You would use scouts to rub it in on your opponent. ;d

Scout was essentially always that good. It's a shame more people didn't/don't know about it. I liked getting scouts vs zerg, even if it wasn't the greatest move mathematically/logically to win.

The reason why scouts still sucked is because they needed speed upgrade (200/200 and quite some time) for what you saw to work, as well as the fact that they are very expensive and terribly weak vs some of the cheapest and/or most common units in the game (marine, hydralisk, missile turret, dragoon).

SC2 and/or Brood War would be so much cooler (better?) if it had scouts that start off with speed upgrade (and possibly 25-50 cheaper mineral cost); I'm so upset at some of the things Blizzard dropped the ball with.

If I stream this, should it be under SC2 or BW?

Sad to hear that. I do not know how the EU scene is now, but after LaLuSh's post, NA's SC2BW channel has constantly had plenty of people to play with.

I'd wager a mech timing push would wipe out half your base before those scouts could manage to clean it up anyway.

Investing in stargate and scouts in PvT is a pretty hefty investment. The amount of scouts needed to make a dent also take so long to produce that terran should have an armory by then.

225 minerals for a scout would be a fair price imo.

Blizzard could capitalize so much on this guys hard work, they could re-market the old SC and SC:BW games complete with a 'Free Remastered SC:BW Multiplayer' option, the extra potential sales for free are just too good to pass up.

This sounds hopeful, I haven't checked since this thread but I'm sure it's much improved!

We're #2 on the Up & Coming list! Second to Unit Preloader >_<

This is what we want to see, units that dramatically get more effective as you micro them better, not umicroable colossus, everything with aceleration and deceleration, making it hard for fast micro, or 1-a click spells. Seriously, what is Blizzard doing with their game.
