He also played some WC3 and was high up on the ladders when the game first came out. I don't think he stayed with it for too long though as far as I can remember.

I wonder who consists of the balancing team. It obviously needs to be deep SC people who truly understand the game, current, and retired pros. I mean, it's probably the most important part of the game.

I wonder if Zileas (another old school SC player) is still at Blizzard, he would probably be working on SC2 if he was. I think he joined Blizzard to help with balancing and new ideas for WC3 expansion.

Not sure. Even though both current and retired professionals SHOULD be part of the process to get multiple perspectives in gameplay and opinions, but I think current ones should be more favored for obvious reasons.

EDIT: It's funny to see all those people who kept crying about CnC and how blizzard was making the game terrible completely turn around. For the sake of brevity, have faith in Blizzard.

I think Zileas left Blizzard.
I don't have a source on this, but I asked on the starcraft forum if Karune = TCaldwell/Zileas, and someone replied by telling me TC left Blizz a while ago.

Pillars told us that zileas left in one of the first threads we created here after sc2 was announced. Don't have time to search for it right now, but i'm pretty sure he mentioned it.

question: is zerg a playable race yet? there is little to no info on them.

+ARG, WHY did the tickets have to sell out so quickly.

Zileas left to do his MBA somewhere. I can't remember where. I think he was a pretty big balancer on Warcraft 3, and draw whatever conclusions you may from that.

SC2, that "easy button" idea, the "cheerfuls", everything sounds and looks awesome.

Many many thanks and keep it up.
