Led by hosts Sean 'Day[9] Plott, Geoff 'iNcontroL' Robinson, Nick 'Tasteless' Plott, and Dan 'Artosis' Stemkoski, the SC20 Anniversary Stream will take us on a storied journey encompassing tales of the past, laughs and competitions of the present, and hopes for the future. A massive variety of games will be played to celebrate the truly diverse ways that people have enjoyed StarCraft throughout the years, including team games, free-for-alls, 1v1, and of course... 2v2v2v2!
What would an anniversary celebration be were it not accompanied by the very people who helped shape StarCraft's history? We are thrilled to reveal that this celebratory broadcast will include a wealth of historic community figures such as  IdrA,
 HuK,  Livibee  , Ret, TLO, NonY, LzGaMeR, PiG, White-Ra, and UpaTreeZelda!
The show begins on Friday, March 30th at 10:00 a.m. PDT on Twitch.tv/StarCraft

IdrA getting first billing over HuK? How many MLG's does each player have  ?
|
Uau
Can we have community invites? I want KiWiKaKi !
|
The 4 casters are enough for me. They can even not play SC, just drink and talk.

Wow cool! SC2 getting 20 years old? Very nice of Blizzard to make an event for SC2's 20th birthday coming up in 2030.
Seriously though, why oh why would you make Starcraft I's 20th anniversary event about SC2 pretty much? Seriously this shit is starting to annoy even BW people that aren't that opposed to SC2 like me.
Why invite a "Livibee" or a "HuK" or a "PiG" or a "UpaTreeZelda"? Why not invite some koreans that can speak english reasonably well, f.e. JD and Sea and have them play a Best-Of-Seven of seven legendary maps throughout BW history (Lost Temple, Gaia, Luna, Andromeda, FS, etc etc)
Why not invite people that stuck with BW after SC2? Like a Bonyth or an EonZerg or anyone that can talk about the history of BW after SC2?
Don't get me wrong, you can also invite one or two SC2 personalities since the forced switch of the korean pro scene had a severe impact on the current korean BW scene, but this feels like it is more about SC2 than about the "birthday child" aka Starcraft 1. And hence it feels like the people organizing this are shitting onto the legacy of BW, by just thinking about the BW history prior to SC2 and then it will probably be all about what happend in SC2. Sorry that feels like a betrayal to every BW fan that stuck around with BW after SC2. And you can only do it that often, before people start to feel very bugged about it. Now Incontrol can step into this topic and cry about people trying to bash anything ever organized... but seriously this shit is getting old and maybe, just maybe, you could consider asking current BW people about their oppinion how such an event could look like. I am sure NONE would have suggested inviting people like those mentioned above...
Also the fact that this was only posted on SC2 general forums, says pretty much everything...

Funny how they don't specify if what StarCraft that they'll be playing, maybe both? Hell maybe only BW, why make assumptions?

That was kind of amusing, because TT1 basically coached him in real time from right next to him, and HuK almost won XD

I think its fairly obvious that they will play both SC:RM and SC2

To be fair, one can argue that they are celebrating the SC franchise as a whole and it's 20 years old then. I wouldn't infer much from the fact that this was posted in SCII general either. I do agree that they should've included more BW players/community figures etc... to truly balance the heavy amount of SCII personalities there are because as it stands, this does feel like it's more a Starcraft II event than anything else. Either way, watch if it's interesting or just don't if it's not your cup of tea ^^
