Give players the benefit of the doubt. Plenty of people in lower leagues watch MLG/GSL/IPL/NASL/Dreamhack/SPL/Homestory/TSL/Iron Squid. They know how games generally go. Mechanics/game decisions are a different story. Glad to finally see this change :D | ||

"At this point we feel that most StarCraft II players have a solid understanding of starting locations on each map." Wait, what? Yeah this line makes absolutely no sense at all, and I think they know it. They are just trying to save some face for the decision. Anyone who might have been confused by strange start position rules before will still be confused afterwards. And in the vast majority of cases, newer/worse players won't even notice, they will just play as if all spawns are the available and will live happily ever after not knowing. | ||

It is not like beginners are tailoring making their builds based on spawn locations. For people that have enough knowledge to vary their builds/strategies due to starting locations, they know about the rules. | ||

Happy if they change maps more often. It's insulting to the lower level players if they think they can't figure out spawn positions. People aren't actually licking their keyboard buttons when they play you know Blizzard, stop treating us like retards. Lower level players would actually prefer larger maps, because then they can't be rushed as quickly and can have long base building matches or whatever. Blizzard actually have it backwards regarding low level map design. | ||
