Honestly they gave even less useful advice than foreigner pros.
'Remake the game to be more like BW' is not a option at this point.



did you even watch and read? they gave perfect insight on the issues with sc2 that they been saying for a long time now, they have far more knowledge of this game then the random NA and EU pros by a large margin, and are far more experience and qualified to know what makes a good RTS Esport game. So much nicer hearing from people in the most established Esport place in the world vs biased NA pros or EU pros. Korea knows what they are talking about.

But of course NA typically wants a easy game.

I can't even take SC2 seriously anymore. How come in Dota we have same teams at the top for years, meanwhile every SC2 tournament yields a new 'champion'.
Parting: Well, even I can make better maps than these.

I don't like the idea of making the interface like Brood War. Macro is obviously a skill, but it isn't a skill that is particularly exciting to watch. They need to make it so that players can use their superior speed/mechanics in more interesting ways by making units more microable, having more abilities on units that promote micro on both sides, discouraging deathballs and encouraging multi-pronged harassment.

One other thing that I would like to add is something that kinda annoys me is people say that Protoss have "too many options". In my opinion variety is GOOD in rts games - what needs to be done is to give Terran and Zerg MORE options so they can pull off as many crazy builds as Protoss can. Look at Pigbaby vs Bomber - Pigbaby pulled off a load of different builds , making the finals quite exciting, but would it be awesome if Bomber could do the same thing.

Personally, I think the best way to increase variety is to create more upgrades that give units more abilities that rely on micro but are not essential for units to function. At the moment most upgrades are not really a choice, but something that is essential for units to function. If you gave units more upgrades that didn't help "1a" syndrome but were useful with micro then players could rush to these upgrades to make use of their micro.

The pros stated what most of the community has been saying for years. The style of the game needs an update as much as the balance.

Most units have very specific roles that hard counter one set of units but are terrible vs another set. This limits play diversity and choice. There plenty of good units in the game but too many are niche and have limited roles.

By adapting a BW/Starbow approach to damage, more units are available in more situations and the skill gap goes way up. Blizzard seems to involved in developing play styles EG: Terran has a good mid game but weaker late game....

this kind of thinking limits Terrans options for no good reason. Just forces a limiting play style.

EDIT: BW was much harder to play but even as a scrub I enjoyed it much more.

i think flash is too concerned about his legacy to ever speak candidly about balance. truthfully speaking, waiting for terrans to "figure it out" is not an option because SC2 does not have the longevity of bw and if this precedent continues there will be no more pro scene before long.

Can Blizz please listen to these people? -___-. Of course some will whine (saying this is worse than AM/EU player feedback) but at least the game will be fun to watch...

I don't like Starbow much.. It relies on Broodwar.. HotS could be a lot better if all of it's new units had a clear idea/design in the purpose/concept behind (some do, but others don't hence why we don't love it as much as we could)..

However - the real reason I wanted to write on this thread is - I was SO hoping the VOD would have English CC translations of this

Makes me really happy seeing a big korean starcraft figure such as TheMarine articulate so well what's wrong with SC2.
And then I get sad cause I have close to no hopes that Blizzard will take that road with LoTV.

THX for the transcript. Can't wait for the subed VOD so that it hopefully get the exposure it deserves among the foreign scene.

He's always been like that, I found it humorous anyone thought he'd QQ about balance when it was announced he'd be on this program in this discussion. Any really really good pro gamer always knows the key to victory is get better and not worry about what is not in your control.

Flash should considered himself more than just another terran. His performance in the total biscuit's sandisk give me the best sc2 experience in my life. The best Terran to watch
