IdrA has written an article on his thoughts on the new WCS 2014 plans. This is in regards to production, region-locking, and more. Most notably by the end, Greg seems pretty positive for next year stating: "These changes should go a long way towards fixing that and 2014 could be a very good year for StarCraft".

Excerpt:
Overall, it is clear that Blizzard heard all of the complaints the community had regarding last year's WCS. They made impactful changes, all going along with the general consensus of public opinion. The new broadcast schedule will be a shot in the arm for non-Korean StarCraft at the direct cost of Blizzard, and is an excellent move by them. The partial region locking is a good and much needed change, and while it does not really go as far as it should they were somewhat hamstrung by their policies from last year. Despite an overall feeling of negativity in the StarCraft community over the last year, event quality and viewership numbers as a whole have been doing well, and are largely the victim of oversaturation and public perception. These changes should go a long way towards fixing that and 2014 could be a very good year for StarCraft.

If Idra uses the word "good" without "retarded" or some variation thereof in the same sentence, it's good.

Idra said something was good without making the other person apologize.. starcraft 2 will be best game 2014. It is idra approved
|
so is the idra bump the opposite of the artosis curse?
|
A gg by Idra, what is the world coming to.
|
Someone must have used IdRa's ID for this. Can't be him, I miss the hate.
|
IdrA...... likes...... something?
These changes are too radical I'm freaking out
|
I think his thoughts on the game itself are still the same, though. ><
|
Its kinda hard to believe some people on TL have more Hate than Idra LOLOLOL I can't agree with Idra More I think 2014 is going ot be an amazing year of Starcraft 2 one not easily forgotten

I agree, should be a great year for Starcraft 2. Looking forward to it!
|
I really like Idra writing and casting! Nice to see him still involved with sc
|
If they listened when we criticized the wcs system, will they listen when we criticize the lack of lan and micro as well?

Wow, IdrA said something that wasn't negative, insulting or disrespectful?
2014 might be a good year for him, too. I might actually read the article.
Edit: I just read it, and I have to say, IdrA tells it like it is here. Still interested in what his role is going to be, exactly, aside from being a part time streamer and occasional writer or guest caster.

Glad to see he has mellowed out since leaving competitive gaming.

I really enjoyed that article. I can agree with or understand the thoughts behind every point in there. Well written, IdrA.
|
That was actually a pretty good article. Also I am glad he is positive about it.
