There will be a Korean stream and an English stream with unannounced broadcast talent on the Blizzcon-Strategy channel. It starts 12:10 AM CET on Saturday. This actually sounds kinda cool. Better than nothing. Finally we have some info about it! edit: I just saw that theres already a thread in the BW section maybe delete this post? idk | ||

Really don't know why they are trying to squeeze in a Blizzcon in February. Would have been way smarter to just have it on the usual date late in the year. That way they have more content to announce. They have a major WoW content update to reveal, plus probably a release date for OW2 or Diablo Immortal to announce. | ||

Ranking of these matchups: If these maps are SC1 versions, it should be a landslide for the BW players. If these maps are SC2 versions, I think the MVP + Nestea 2v2 would be the only heavily favored matchup for the SC2 pros. | ||

That's not a lot of content lol, and it also begs the question what do they announce with the Blizzcon after this? Not like they are taking on many new projects. | ||

That realy sucks. I m fine with 2v2, it s a great format for such an event, but no 1v1 at all is realy taking it for me. Also I probably don t follow the scene long enough (and don t follow BW at al) to have an opinion about any of those players but PartinG | ||

No 1v1 is also unfortunate... Overall an odd choice | ||

We are bringing these legends back one more time." There is nothing for current StarCraft II pros, as if the scene was already dead. Blizzard treats StarCraft II competition as a thing of the past. All the current best sc2 players are probably busy that day playing this small online event called 'iem katowice'  | ||

Events like IEM and BlizzCon are planned months in advance. There was no interest in adjusting the schedules to allow for current StarCraft II pro players to participate at a BlizzCon event. | ||

Jokes apart, it is better some StarCraft than no StarCraft, but I do not see audience for this given that it overlaps with IEM. If they hire Tastosis then maybe... | ||

Nothing on the Twitter feeds of Tasteless and Artosis about it, so I guess it is someone else. | ||

Yes, but this is not a LotV map, hence the weirdest SC2 game if they still play it there. If they play a WoL game on a random patch, it'd be as good as having them play some StarCraft: Immortal | ||

Nevertheless, this makes it all the more watchable, and I’ll definitely check out a few games. Just having nestea and mvp there alone brings back some memories, and nostalgia seems to be the general theme in gaming these days, anyway, amirite? | ||

What I liked about the event: - This was a good mix of storied players from both SC1 and SC2 and from all races. - They did hire Tasteless and Artosis to cast this after all. - MVP nuking Last in 3vs3 was pretty hype. - MC's mass Dark Archon strategy in the SC1 free-for-all was great to watch. - The SC1 free-for-all was really fun to watch. Things that could be improved: - This was prerecorded and then cast from replay. Made it less exciting. - This was not really competitive. Spawn positions were a major factor in 3vs3 and in free-for-all. - In 2vs2 and in 3vs3, SC1 players dominated SC1 and SC2 players dominated SC2. No surprises here. - The first 2vs2 was all Protoss. I could not tell players of the same team apart. - Not getting a supply count in the SC2 free-for-all made the game harder to follow. 2vs2 winners: Lost temple SC1: + Show Spoiler + MC/PartinG rush Zealots. Good effort, but it doesn’t work. Stork/Rain win. Lost temple SC2: + Show Spoiler + MC/PartinG simply kill their opponents with early Adepts and an Oracle. A very one-sided win against Stork/Rain. Lost temple SC1: + Show Spoiler + Last/effort win, but the game is fun to watch. Good effort by MVP/Nestea. Lost temple SC2: + Show Spoiler + MVP/Nestea bunker rush and baneling bust Last. effort does counter damage to Nestea with roaches. MVP swoops into Last's base with Banshees. Nestea is taken out by combined efforts of effort/Last, but MVP wins the match with mass Banshees. 3vs3 winners: Big Game Hunters SC1: + Show Spoiler + Last/effort/Rain win against MVP/Nestea/MC. The game is somewhat close. Big Game Hunters SC2: + Show Spoiler + MVP/Nestea/MC win against Last/effort/Rain in dominating fashion. Free-for-all winners: Big Game Hunters SC1: + Show Spoiler + MC wins. Big Game Hunters SC2: + Show Spoiler + effort wins. | ||
