I'm waiting for the invitees, tournament format, and prize pool details to get excited. If they're smart, it will not be a lopsided towards nostalgia matchups or competitive matchups. | ||

I'm not sure if this concept of historical rivalries makes sense for every game, since not everyone has kept their skills up and continued playing. For a HOTS showmatch I think the most competitive setup you could make is NA vs EU. There are still ex-pro players from both regions playing regularly and dominating the ladder. | ||

No idea what match would balance out historical significance vs having an actually good series in 2026. 2026 Moon vs. Sky is not a good match, unfortunately. Moon is currently #7 wc3 player in the world and the best nelf vs human player in the world. Sky just plays casually for fun. it's not realistic for Sky to get in shape and become competitive with Moon. current power levels: Moon >>>>>> Grubby >>>>>> Sky you're right to mention that Moon and Sky are 2 out of 3 names that have the most "star power" in WC3. the other name is Grubby. each of those players represent the 3 regions of the world that have had the greatest influence on WC3: Korea, Europe and China - with Grubby easily having the most global appeal. the Chinese love Grubby and would absolutely tune in to see him play. Sky doesn't have that type of power outside of China. Grubby is still light-years behind Moon - but is he the type of madlad who would devote 6 months of grinding just to put on a good show? possibly! I'd love to see it if this was not a legacy match and instead an exhibition of the highest level of play in 2026, then it would have to be Happy vs X - Happy vs Lyn striking the best balance of high level skill + hype / modern rivalry + exciting play. however, Happy plays under the Russian flag and that's probably unacceptable for modern-day Blizzard :-) Neo from B2W posted a good forecast of WC3 in Classic Cup: TLDR: you absolutely need Grubby involved 100% | ||

I think anything short of Flash/JD/Soulkey, Serral/Clem/Maru, Moon/Grubby/infi, etc isn't going to hit right with the proposed format. | ||

Like some of you all said, they're just celebrating that they killed all those games lol i assume u are talking about sc2, why would anyone want to watch lets say flash vs jaedong in sc2 again if they havent played in 10 years? much rather see serral vs maru. save jaedong vs flash for sc1. | ||

This is beyond stupid | ||
