I also miss Proleague most.

HOWEVER: If you all miss it so much, come support the Gold Series Team Championship by watching the stream, sharing and commenting on our coverage, and participating in the LR thread. It's not Proleague, but it's the closest to it we have going on, and who knows where it might lead if it continues to grow.

I really miss MLG tournaments, i would watch it for like 12-16h per day, and i live in EU.

The casters were much better when the game was popular, from DJ Wheat, HuskyStarcraft to Day9 giving it all. That guy from IPL was also amazing.

I miss the joy of watching Huk stream and playing Bomber all of the time.

Foreigner vs Korean rivarly was also so much fun to watch.

I don't miss HOTS, that was pure shit. Protoss mothership core and the ZvZ games, jesus that was bad.
I am not good with quotes

It seemed that every weekend would have some kind of premier tournament with a sick prize pool.
MLG, Dreamhack, IPL, NASL and of course GSL.

GSTL and pro league were fun too and I remember the hype when the great BW players transferred over to SC2.

The foreign scene used to be so interesting, The korean scene was way out in front but every so often we'd get a guy or girl who could mix it with the Koreans and it was so hype watching those games.

Plus you had fun personalities and drama . Idra, iNc (RIP), stephano, Naniwa, Ret etc. I was huge fans of some of them and would watch the streams with 1000's of others. Some of the pro's I hated because of the playstyle or the dumb shit they did. It all added to the emotion

When I think of Starcraft I still have vivid recollections of those games and personalities.
I don't really care or remember anything from the past like...4 years.

Mr Bitter & Rotterdam casting together! Grubby playing! Mondragons roaches. MC's crazy shenanigans. Ret walking the thin line of building too many drones. It really was Wild West sometimes.

But if you go back and rewatch the VODs, you do notice that the more recent changes in overlay have improved the overall viewer experience a lot. I'm happy that we are were we are now. Let's keep it that way for years to come!

Oh yeah early WOL games are almost unwatchable, plus the level of play looking back then was hilariously bad

When players had some spark to them. Nowadays, SC2 is kinda robotic.

I'm talking the days of CombatEX and Deezer, MC, Genius doing his insane BM, Huk doing the party hat shit.

As for players, IdrA, MC and MVP mostly. Proleague was very fun to watch so that's something I miss as well.

This has been an interesting thread, because everyone keeps saying proleague and when I thought about things I missed about older SC2, proleague never even popped into my mind.

Mostly I miss the feeling of a new game that everyone is excited about, and people winning games with insane wacky builds. It's really not something I want back, but when a new game that has potential to be an esport comes out, that's what I'm looking for in it.

One of the things I like the most in current SC2 is that the foreign and Korean scene are more equal nowadays, but I can't deny it was super exciting whenever a foreigner beat a Korean in the old days, even if it was just one map in a Bo3.

So yeah, mostly not things I'd want back, but I miss the feeling of these things.

The level of play wasnt bad, it was adapted to the bad balancing

^ this times a 100.

Red Bull Orlando and MLG Orlando were awesome events. I wish more would happen in Florida.


A lot of people are talking about map nostalgia, I would like for four player random spawn maps to return or even 3 spawn maps with asymmetry. As for worker count, I don't mind the worker count, but I wish some maps had main and naturals with more minerals per patch so they don't mine out as quickly.

Nothing you can reproduce.
Some players, some hype that was there cuz it was fresh.
other than that, not much tbh.
Game is better than it ever has been.
still need a protoss redesign or changes imo. Standard is too weak, bullshit is too strong.
New patch has a good direction though
