Sc2 needs to go towards F2P I think when sc2's GRAND FINALS were getting significantly less viewers than just people streaming league, there's an issue. And before people say LoL is a game for dumb people or "sc2 can be great it doesn't have to beat LoL" my question for you is "why don't you want sc2 to be as awesome as possible?" Why would you not want to get the grow the audience, which will to more money, more stable environment, etc. But we were beating LoL this past weekend...? + the countless europeans on the Blizzard Stream ;~; | ||

Matches could be found through chat channels. | ||

(*Without substantial, unrealistic amounts of effort for such an endeavor.) | ||

Remember globalization of the servers and how many people ranted how their accounts were disappearing etc.? Ya, it's probably wise to avoid that. | ||

Also they should advertise these changes more. Most people who don't play SC2 won't notice this change. So I don't think it'll have a great impact on the playerbase. | ||

In result, semi-F2P may solve question regarding LAN. How can F2P solve LAN? | ||

SC2 currently has no custom scene, and so right now the people who play SC2 generally play it only for competitive reason and for some people competitive SC2 is just way too stressful. | ||
