Pretty funny how SC II korean pro teams are already forming even before the game has gotten out.

Thanks Artosis. Although you need to update your SC2 screens. They're from like 2 years ago. =)

EDIT: Although I like the shinier look, warp gates look better, and Toss need their observatory back.

Very glad you're not dead, Artosis; hope that continues! Very interesting news...Aozora, for the love of God? I suppose next we'll be seeing the return of Agent 911 and Maynard to the Starcraft universe? O_O

Hope you get over the bug quickly.

Great read - thanks for the link.

I remember when replays first became available for Starcraft 1 and I hated it because suddenly all the cheese builds which I used to do all became known. Now though I'm definitely of the opinion that the more replays become available the better off it will be for the game and community, for pretty much exactly the reasons stated in the article.

A couple of examples:

Firstly have a look at pro sports and how they have evolved over the last 50 years. Few people would argue that greater coverage of sports and being able to view matches from multiple camera angles with high definition pictures is a bad thing. Not only has it improved the quality of play and standard of players, but it has given the public more ways to consume the product.

Second example is have a look at the game chess, it's been around for 100s of years and effectively "replays" have been available in the form of move lists for every pro-game for as long as the game itself. Yet despite this transparency, new chess strategies are coming out every year and the game still experiences paradigm shifts as players constantly evolve.

If you were talking about the PvP side of Guild wars then you had it right..but to compare Guild Wars & Starcraft 2 isn't a very good idea imo. I am a GvG player from Guild Wars. I play a monk mainly..Though I will play ele or mes as needed for my team...the skills are different. While its tactics based its not nearly as similar as you try to make it sound or try to compare it in the article..So if that offends you..but I am a fickler about getting information right. -_- (Btw if you don't believe me about my guild wars interactions just look up: Dj Telsa or Tesla on the Guild wars wiki sometime)

"The top 100 guilds in the ladder had all of their matches broadcasted live on a 15 minute delay so that everyone logged into the game could see their matches. The great advantage of this was that everyone could see the builds, classes and strategy that the teams used. This advanced Guild Wars's metagame extremely fast."

No..there is more than a delay and some of those guilds wait up to over an hour to get a match and then their match stays in the observer mode for at least an hour unless their is alot of activity...But such activity is normally from the European guys. You also have to remember that there is more PvP to Guild wars besides just the GvG...There is also HA...which there are a lot of debates on all of that. So I will just skip saying anything for that.

"The other side effect of this was that Arenanet could better balance the game by seeing which strategies and builds were dominating and tweaking them so that other lesser used skills would be. The game was patched literally every few weeks for years."

Anet does work on balancing and takes the community into account. Have you not heard of Test Krewe?

Btw in a GvG match this doesnt include the vent or skype call where the whole team is communicating and everyone is doing micro of each other XD. Mainly the warriors or callers do it though...and everyone just follows their lead. In Starcraft if you do something wrong its your fault...In Guild Wars for GvG if your team mate does something wrong (just in like 2v2) it can cost you the whole game. Rather annoying to be honest. One last thing to say on this topic is that sadly all the really great players for Guild wars (GvG) have left or don't play. EviL (Korean Guild) retired and doesnt play anymore. Even the American Guilds like Rawr don't really play much anymore. So...Its really not as competitive as it use to be. The last really big competitive tournament for Guild wars GvG: http://www.guildwars.com/competitive/funseason/tseries2007/rules.php

With that...I am done posting on this for now XD.
