![]() ![]() But while I think StarCraft will become big again in Korea, worldwide, I don't think it'll even surpass StarCraft 2's popularity, much less become the most popular esport again. I'm happy to see Day9 making videos about it and other players making some ladder videos. MaNa's channel since he has never been the type to put out content before: Ĭlick to expand.This is nice to see. Hotkey customization was an unexpected move to me, but hey I'll take it. ![]() This ladder and matchmaking system are the only real things the game needed mechanically. ![]() The new ladder system definitely outclasses the old servers and I hope they continue to improve upon it. These two alone likely brought over a large chunk of the SC 2 playerbase and even though this looks very temporary, it is still neat to see. PiG and MaNa (other SC 2 players too) have been streaming it with MaNa finally using his Youtube channel to upload vods of his progress in BW and PiG has also been uploading his vods because that is what he does. The biggest deal about this release is the attention it is bringing the game from people who play other Blizzard games with a rather large audience from SC 2 finally taking a long hard look at it for awhile. I finally wget to see what the artists had in mind when creating the Defiler, Ultralisk, and Hydralisk overworld faces too. Out of all the cosmetic changes, I think the CC/Hatch-Hive/Nexus preorder skins were the best of the bunch (the Hive and Nexus look amazing). But there's an intro video already that kinda just covers what exactly the game is.Ĭampaign-wise, I like all of the new story text backdrops althought the new portraits aren't quite what I had pictured because of the way they had to animate them. From what I hear, he will start it when he's finished with TI for Dota. If it's been a while and you need to catch up, I heard that Day9 is doing a series about the game that should be helpful. I always found the community quite toxic and self-destructive (which was probably a contributing factor to its current significant decline, not to be too presumptuous) so I would really be interested in finding people to play with here, if there are people still around. I was really active in the StarCraft 2 community back when I played it was actually my main community before switching to Smogon and Pokemon (there was a 2 month period where I considered Yu-Gi-Oh but nah). I'm really excited to be playing the game with other people at a point where I actually know how to play the game. With that in mind, what I'm most looking forward to in this release is the act that it will have modern multiplayer support. It's still as fun as I remember at the risk of sounding like a genwunner or Melee guy, I do find it to still be the slightly superior game, in terms of competitive mechanics. Last year, I re-bought StarCraft 1 and finally went through both the original and Brood War campaigns without cheats. When StarCraft 2 came out, I was in high school, so I learned to play for real and developed actual technique with the mechanics. I've been a lifelong fan of StarCraft I played the original as a kid and always used cheats or played gimmick maps and such. As I understand it, it's the same mechanics, but with updated graphics and fitted for more modern screen resolutions. StarCraft Remastered is being released later this month. This might be a long shot, but who knows. ![]()
