Well after seeing it on the PTR I wouldn't be surprised if it was ready for next week. | ||

The battle.net blog is split between the three: GameHeart, new SC2 gameplay features, and the WCS 2.0 Interface Mod, so you can read about all three and what they provide when combined.  Yeah I saw the extra modes for regular replay watching. Was hoping it would be available to regular ol'people. Will test out tonight, though. Actually, can someone confirm that there is WCS GH capability in ladder replays? | ||

I've been quite enjoying the WCS 2.0 interface though; it has pretty much most of what you would want. | ||

From a design point of view, the size of the information displayed is all over the place and the weird position at the bottom of the screen leads to missing important ingame stuff because you are looking for information at the top, where it usual is (in about every digital and print medium). As a viewer i find it most annoying that i am not able to see minerals, gas, income, production, upgrades, workers, army, overall supply at once. Stripping down SC2 to overall supply, mins, gas and production feels like watching the game with one eye closed purely relying on the observer to show you what YOU want to see at that moment. Not to mention the bazillion other things that were listed by others in the WCS Threads. I really hope this gets improved big time before future tournaments as it lessens the viewerexperience quite a bit. | ||

-The global supply -The bank -The workers count -The upgrades -Production or units With the new overlay, I feel like only one or two of this information are shown, wich is very sad in comparison with how good the previous one were | ||

I think it's got a bit too much bashing, especially some of the stuff on r/Starcraft which was ridiculous | ||

Hopefully with LotV, we'll be able to watch the game within the client and select a custom interface with the raw game data. | ||

I am a bit boggled by this new overlay it's like their goal was to show as little information as possible and to blow it up as much as possible so that it takes up a lot of room on screen. So instead of trading off between minimalist/more information they did neither. | ||

It's been just painful to watch WCS due to the lack of information on screen. Hope it can improve soon. | ||
