For all we know they might've read the discussion about readability in terms of Roaches and changed it based on that, which would mean more work for the artists, however, I don't know.

I would prefer if they actually LET US KNOW, though, like Valve does when they are late on something.

If you look at the zerg skin picture you can see that there are two roaches.

I assume one is without and one with tunneling claws. To me it looks like the difference will be easier to spot than without skins, so the readability in terms of roaches seems to have been improved instead of lowered with the new skins.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

There already is a skin for burrowed roaches - You can see it on the warchest website.

I don't like the cap as an idea. In reality it is not relevant, because this war chest can't add more than 200k to the price pool. The community is too small.
I will be surprised if it reaches 100k. That will be massive success.

Community? I am not even in the SC2 community, I am a Dota2 gamer and even I will purchase the WC.

You can't judge everything by the community, there are plenty of people outside of the community who potentially also will purchase the WC, I know 2 people that I've played with the past week who is getting the WC, neither of them play more than maybe 10 games a week, some co-op, but they want to support SC2 like they support Dota2 with compendium.

So, that's 3 WC sales to non-community members, let's hope there are more IF your statement about community size is remotely valid.

9 hours from now. So not the 19th for SEA/Asia, not the 19th for EU and pretty late on the 19th for East Cost. I'm curious what possibly spoke against doing it 10 hours earlier.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.

There is a timer on the website. About 9 hours left.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I don't think that many people will do that. It's completely illogical. Why would I spend money on something I don't use ? Why would I care about SC2, when I don't even play or watch it.

For real...I don't play Dota2, and so wouldn't buy the compendium. It's surprising to me that the other poster would buy the WarChest and doesn't play SC2

I don't think anyone is talking about people who could care less about SC2, we're all talking about people who play and watch at least occasionally. And even then there are people who actually do this for things they rarely or never play/watch. With Dota 2, with Magic, with fighting games, with other Blizz games, with all kinds of hobbies. Just because you personally don't do this doesn't mean nobody does, it's all personal preference about how people spend their money and how people choose to support the things they are passionate about.

The "SC2 community", in my book, isn't made up of only people who play and watch 50 hours of SC2 each week and only play SC2 and BW, it's anyone who's interested in the game regardless of how much they do or don't play, watch, chat in forums, so on. Even though they aren't "hardcore" they're still all over the place subbing to players on Twitch, buying t-shirts, or picking up a co-op commander or announcer (or war chest?) that they think is cool just like the hardcore fans do.

Well my friend does no longer watch or really play sc2, maybe co-op once a month. Although he did not even have it installed for months now.

But he is excited to buy the warchest and then unlock the skins by playing co-op with me.

I can't figure out how to buy it. Did they change the date?

Yeah what is that timer? It's an erroneous countdown to July 19? I don't get what's going on.

It counts down to 4pm PDT or something I think. They said the midnight release timer was a mistake.

Where did I state that people who does not play the game would purchase the WC?

I statedh that people OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY would purchase it, for instance people who are not a part of the follow-every-progame-and-know-all-people-and-updates-while-communicating-on-reddit/TL-with-others crowd, what you see here on TL is not the entirety of the player base, know that.

By community I meant everyone that plays the game or watches it. If I have to change my statement by your standards - The playerbase and the viewbase are small. Both statements are true and 100k will be EXTREMELY big success for SC2 so the 200k cap is irrelevant.
