This is why there must be an option to turn off seeing skins. A feature to turn off the skin client side, i.e. player can see default skin of unit and observer can show off the skin of player's choice to the viewers would be nice. For viewers/commentator the readability should not be a huge issue | ||

I agree, they should have done something YEARS AGO, not let it fall all the way down to "25 dollar reward for winning a WCS Circuit", it diminishes the value of the professionals by paying them pocket change, but heck, even I as a Dota player will purchase the WC, I don't even play that much SC2 but this I will support. Not sure why the cap is there though, I'd love to see a million dollar tourney for SC2, that's something the news media would've written. | ||

.For me that alone is already enough and 25% going to WCS is just a bonus for me. GJ Blizzard! | ||

What I would really like though, is a mod of the ingame UI/dashboard thingie to my liking, like WoW has with interface addons, but of course it would be a lot more restricted to still keep the visible map proportions etc. | ||

In Dota---when I used to play---it was exciting to see how high the prize pool could go. Now it's just like a stopping point. Everything else, including time restrictions is what I remember from Dota's compendium. On the other hand 200k is a realistic goal to reach for the way smaller sc2 community. Being able to say "We did it" is kinda cool and the rest gets invested into next year. Raising 250k with no goal would not feel as cool, then it would just be compared to Dota2 and seem like nothing. | ||

Everything else, including time restrictions is what I remember from Dota's compendium. Overall it's a good idea, and a great way to fund WCS. The only things I don't like, which I hope are fixed, are: 1. No option to turn off seeing other people's skins on your end. 2. There being a end date to the unlock, which is both needless and unfair to people who don't unlock everything. 3. Lack of disclosure for the money above the $200K cap. The money above the $200K cap goes to funding WCS in general which is probably more important than the money going into the prize pool. It would have been neat if they used a rounder number than $200K, such as $250K for a 50% increase in the prize pool. | ||

As for UI modifying to the level that WoW addons have? I'm not so sure. Does Blizz allow them for WoW Arena tournaments, and would that be okay for StarCraft ladder? Observer UI regularly gets changed for good reason, but I don't know that changing the command card location, unit selection interface, alert displays, HP/MP bars, etc. would work/be good for player perspectives. That said, I haven't seen any mockups for any of that, so it's possible something could work. | ||
