The blizzcon sc2 stage was iconic. Its disappointing to spend the year waiting to see it again, just for blizz to give it to overwatch

Because the only important thing for you is getting an empty arena until the hots, overwatch, wow and hs viewers come to fill it ?
Well you will get it with two places instead of one ( because of the stream in the arena ).
But I'm a little worried for the starcraft hall of honor

Routing for Nerchio and Neeb, look forward to watching the upsets. KAPPA!

Anyway it was still hype af. That was the first SC2 tournament I watched live and it was amazing. Shame JD lost in the finals.
I love the Arena though. But OW is their biggest game right now, and we have to adjust unfortunately. At least the final will be there.
EDIT: I don't see us getting the arena for the finals, it still says Hall A ancthe schedule. Is that info legit?

Don't assume shit, I never even said I wanted the arena for the entire event..... I said it's an iconic part of sc2 as an esport. Which it is.
Am I not allowed to be disappointed that one of my favorite events of the year is getting downgraded, in favour of an esport that isn't even good?

The only thing I care for Blizzcon is that we have someone forfeit, sOs takes his spot, and win the whole thing by crushing Innovation 4 - 0 in the finals #Delusional.
|
I woke up today in a very simple way and felt that Innovation will be eliminated in a ro16.
|
Hard to tell anything so far in advance, but as of now the big favorites would be Rogue, herO, and Inno.

I pick neeb and special to make it out

Group B and C are going to be the closest imo. Neeb's Pvz is very soild and on top of that, its the only matchup he has to prep for. The Zergs are in a werid spot though. ZvZ is easy grounds for an upset. I don't feel strongly about Nerchios Zvz to get behind him, let alone the fact he would have to beat soO. Between soO and Rouge, I honestly believe it will just come down to who can out miname each other during their matches.
C should be Dark and Elazer. HerO might be able to upset and sang a spot, but it's doubtful. Kal I see taking a couple games but not winning any sets. All in all, the group should be a nail bitter compared to A and D.

The starcraft hall of honor is still a thing so i'm ok with it.

It's a giant upset if Elazer beats herO. herO is in massive form at the moment, just won Masters Coliseum over Rogue, INnoVation, soO and Dear. Beat all of them convincingly too. Just off a Super Tournament finals as well.

Obviously with the consideration that it's an online tournament, but yeah, herO's PvZ has looked quite good recently--especially since he just beat Dark in the Super Tournament.

I would be really interested to compare games from Blizzcon 2015 et games from Blizzcon 2017. Maybe i could compare the duration of each game and the delay before the first attack, it could add some sense to the 12 workers... Or Not.
