Feel free to participate if you are interested Goal : Create a PDF mod for SC2 in a old school style (all attack coolddowns are supposed 25% less faster, no number or detail of the changes, you can say for example "his mineral cost is decrease by "X") | ||

It actually existed in Brood War as a map called Opposing Forces, I remember since I knew the creator of the map and was heavily involved in the UMS community/Battle.net channel on US East the time, it never really got any traction to be a commonly played map but it was interesting and the idea was the forebearer that would create AoS. It was obviously far simpler due to it being on BW at the time but it had the same general concept: Hero like player units waging war in taking down the opposing forces base across the map with an infinite stream of weaker fodder units charging mindlessly across the map to each other. Apologies for going off track, but it's sad hearing that this may be the final year of GSL. Whether it's true or not we'll obviously see, but if it truly is, thanks for all the memories. Personally I'll always value GSL above all the other international SC2 tournaments even above the world championships. | ||

Or does he genuinely not understand that GSL in no way competes with ASL viewership nor funding? Help bring communities together and bring RTS up. SC1 and SC2 are both beloved games. Any broadcasted event that doesn't continue is a blow to our community. | ||

In all honestly, as someone who started playing SCBW from 1998, and played SC2 when it got released. I feel like it's been quite a wild ride with all the RTS train, the whole Real Time Strategy was an innovation enabled by network advancement, and hard work of the game engine engineers. I really wonder how people would play "Strategy" game now there are these AIs, maybe strategy can be played on a more macro level with god knows what kind of commanding structure. It will be very interesting to see. And the birth of MOBA was mainly due to lots of people have an issue controlling the "Macro and Micro" of traditional RTS, the bar of entering the game was a bit too high for many. The people who played RTS and myself included felt some what elite in that sense. I know it's a bit of off topic here, but I really wonder how the future of this type of strategy game will shape with all the new technology that's emerging. And honestly Storm Gate wasn't didn't have the WOW factor for me. Anyhow I still hope and wish GSL the best  However it will survive and lives on. | ||

My personal take is that StarCraft is only there until (if) this whole venture gets established. Provides some old school prestige and goodwill while it gets off the ground. There’s still a decent following at present and you can trace its lineage via its predecessor right back to the beginning of eSports as we know it, WCG and all that other fun stuff. Beyond that it makes little sense to me to invest in a flagship tournament for an ever-declining game, without investing in addressing that decline. Hey, call me a cynic, many have! | ||

If you look back at GSL prize pool during the earlier days. First place was 45K, 3rd-4th place was only $4500 Basically everyone else was fighting for crumbs Whoever decided on that was such an idiot | ||
