I wonder what some of the other Korean speaking TL staff thinks? From my few observations on English language commentary, and the way people rate it, it seems that the TL crowd places a much higher premium on game knowledge, and not so much on pure entertainment value. | ||

"Holy christ mary and joseph!!!" "Wah happened?" "He's throwing down TONS of pressure on his opponent OMG I can't believe this!" *1 marine shooting at a probe* "Omg look at that shield regenerate!! He's sooo good!!!" Anyway I always thought the OGN casters are very knowledgeable, Overlord's hunches are often right on the money. | ||

I wish the death animations were more distinctive and easier to make out, Marauders comes to mind for an example. Also I think it looks weird when units like Colossus pretty much got no death animation at all other than the blue cloud thing it shares with several other protoss units. How to fix that without being obstructing I'm don't know but I'm sure Blizzard can come up with something. Death sounds for the units need to be more distinctive and better also but considering this is alpha I'm not up in arms about it, hopefully it will be improved upon for the beta. I think the marine was perfect in that regard - both in animation and sound. | ||

That video made Terran look very overpowered in this build, particularly the marauders. I would've really liked to see some DT harass or siege tank cliffing, things that we are accustomed to seeing in BW but in its new form here. It would be nice to see classic strategies mixed in with the new ones and new units. | ||

I guess as viewer of Korean pro-game TV, I'm very used to commentary having a somewhat 7:3 stress between keeping the game exciting, and providing useful strategic insight. I thought they did a great job on the first point, and the second point I didn't care about so much(because I assumed they were catering to a very broad, generic crowd). I wonder what some of the other Korean speaking TL staff thinks? From my few observations on English language commentary, and the way people rate it, it seems that the TL crowd places a much higher premium on game knowledge, and not so much on pure entertainment value. That type of commentary would've been much more appropriate if the players were actually at least decent (the T probably was, but his opponent didn't push him at all so the former played relaxed). ;; There was harld anything to get excited about. That Probe scouting was lucky - he kept moving into Rine's range even though the Probe was faster and somehow managed to save that Probe. T___T | ||

Thinking about the gameplay and skill ceiling, i'm sure almost Any bw player who's learned to play on standard maps could macro almost perfect in this game, which seems like too many players able to play that well, but then i think that this was a newb game with not much else going on. I think it looks like newbs could actually have a really fun game just like this match, and that really high level players could do alot to throw newbs off. I bet with really agressive expanding and mass harassments, a better player could bring multitasking into the game with a fairly high ceiling on how much. The game needs to be manufactured to make sure this is true, i think, and mbs/automine Might not be that bad. | ||

after all, the colossus seems like a good replacement for the reaver imho. the artwork is great, it goes perfect with an advanced alien race. it also adds to the strategic diversity, since reaver drop and high templar drop are very similar, but colossi by contrast cannot walk over water. they also seem micro-rewarding when properly used for hit+run attacks. the protoss in this battle for example could have retreated when the terran broke through the rocks at his expansion. (edit: if it really didn't kill the scvs that stopped moving it needs more damage of course.) i agree with most people here that many units, especially workers, need more distinct death sounds, i wasn't able to determine how many scvs were killed. they all make the same generic grunt. | ||
