I mean, the latest patch was only a month or two ago. Should the pros not have made any money playing WoL for the past couple years? That is absolutely stupid comparison. It's a new beta compared to a 2 years matured full game that got a small change Chances are that we will not learn of the most glaring imbalances in HotS until pro-gamers start playing it for money. Ladder games will only reveal so much.

btw, phd is clever
You do realize it's 8 people? You do realize one race no matter what is going to have 2 right? xD. It's as even as can be from 8 players.
I can't wait till open tournaments for hots start

No it is traditional. There were WoL beta tournaments including the HDH invitational and Day9's King of the Beta.
You also should go tell the dota 2 scene how weird you think they are right now.

Wow, HD and PainUser just keeping doing awesome things. Can't wait for this!
|
Hype! Now this is how you balance a beta. Offer tons of prize $$$, and have the best try to abuse the game. Gogogo!
|
Taylor! you rock, nice idea. Hopefully its not too imbalanced.
edit: Go KawaiiRice!
|
Great idea, can't wait to see some badass HOTS matches with something on the line!

except that dota2 is more polished and balanced than most retail games since they basically just ported everything from WC3 dota and are just in the process of adding all the heroes and extra touches. The game itself is basically finished, the reaosn they haven't made it official as a "retail" game is because they want all the little touches in first.

WTF!!!! Why isn't Dragon in this???!?!?! Honestly! He definitely DESERVES an invite especially if there are still two spots for additional players left -.-

Demuslim said he and Thorzain were playing in this on his stream yesterday. So I guess one of the tba's is Thorzain.
|
Gogogo VeraLynn as one of the TBA's ^^
|
Totally gonna tune in!
|
for a moment i thought it was husky instead of painuser, mind has been playing tricks on me
|
Wish this had some qualifiers
Sick lineup though, I'll definitely be watching. Should be a lot of fun.
|
awesome! can't wait till there's open hots tournaments
|
This is awesome! Kawaii's gonna take it all!!!
|
Are the 2 slots filled? If Thorzain has withdrawn, then are you looking for players to participate?
I don't have a Beta Account but I have access to one - Could I participate if that's the case? I have a friend who said I could use his account. Let me know!

I've watched a few of WhiteRA's games on Huskys feed, the poor chump doesn't stand a chance, he's playing awesome and still barely winning.
I actually like most of the Protoss new units, I think they (seem) fairly well thought out and balanced. The problem is the T and Z units simply seem far far stronger :/
|
So who are they hiring to cast the event?
