In theory as ladder maps are uploaded by Blizz and thus share authorship, we could set a series and map picks more ahead of time and smoothly within one lobby.
Again I’m not sure if that’s the intent or how that’ll work. It seems more marketed towards playing custom maps with friends but it would be a tasty quality of life change if it’ll work like I think it sounds it would?
That is indeed one of the ideas:

Tons of wc3 related stuff. Pretty interesting.
Anyone checked yet if they added new HD assets or just the original low poly?

This is honestly shockingly good news for the sc2 scene and not the kind of big effort I was expecting.
Personally I'm very interested in the fact that there is enough of a sc2 dev team still at Blizzard to release something this big. Along with the 10th anniversary coming up I am wondering if they are planning another expansion or major update to the game. Who knows.... maybe a StarCraft 3 announcement? A man can dream!

Could be tasty, any further UI tweaks or improving the editor and other factors are welcome in my book.
Looking back with what we have now and remembering what Wings was actually like in many regards, the team have made lots of nice changes over the years.

This is some pretty excellent news  . Thanks for the big freebie Blizzard!

StarCraft II now supports water pathing
I never thought I'd see the day when boats could be in StarCraft.

I remember the day i bought Warcraft 3 after warcraft 2.. I was a bit disappointed, Why ? There wasn t rock walls !!!
In a war3-mod, It would be amazing to draw some walls and place turrets besides

We need submarines! The hunt for the Red October, comrades, begins!

As Tasteless would say: "Get your boats ready!"

can't wait for a mod with stupid things like
blueflame hellions / cracklings / chargelots would be able to swim and would negate airspace and islands -.-

Units that are in water should be immune to Hellions/Hellbats, only makes sense.

Imagine Port Alexander v2 with actual boats that can be used to transport units around the map like Nydus networks :D
Before using the boat, you would need to get it ready somehow, e.g. hold the area for 10 seconds. Now I wanna see Tasteless say: "Okay. Both players are getting their boats ready right now. Let's see what they decide to put in there."

All Zerg ground units should be able to swim without a ship though.

Wow
Now I expect a new CoOp commander that uses a lot of these new features, to be released at the 10th anniversary.

Yeah man that would be sick.
Never really played much Co-op but have friends who are interested casually in SC but not enough to grind ladder and they are enjoying playing it. More content there can only be a good thing, especially with my friends who are interested having played WC3 with me back in the day, so things like naval combat would be neat.

StarCraft II now supports formation movement, which can be turned on/off for each player via triggers. Deathball collector?
Additional question: Do we have an implementation that is similar to waygate in warcraft? It will drastically change the rush distance and geometry without affecting the area in between (compared to the speed field).

Can you explain what a waygate is?

Does someone test the new pathfinding implemented by blizzard with marines ?
