He lists a lot of concerns regarding the physics engine and the core design of the game. Doubt many of them will ever be altered since so much of how the game works is built off of them. They would have to make a new game. I think we still have a long time till SC2 is in it's prime regarding balance and fun factor. It's still a fun game though to play casually on ladder.

10k for first place is kinda crappy when KeSPA is making money no matter what :/
MLG boasts the plane tickets but Scoots nailed it with that most players dont give a shit about plane tickets since teams provide them anyway.
Also I dislike how much Wheat doesnt get how much replay casts suck.

They must have to pay KeSPA to use their players/license so in order to break even they have to charge $10. It almost feels like this is kinda rushed like there is some sort of clause in their KeSPA/MLG contract that stipulates that they need to do X amount of tournaments in Y amount of time with their players.
r/sc is like a revolving door
but the game just came out so I can understand why it got posted again
This guy is responsible for WCS, so I am sad :|
I agree with that, I have no desire to pay $10 for a replay casted online tournament lacking the best international players with a dumb bizarre format.

GSL World Championship Brackets for NA
GSL World Championship Brackets for EU
Seeds are by popularity.

EU loves Esports more than NA/SEA
The sheer amount of votes EU got is pretty large lol.

It was tough to decide who to vote for in NA because almost all the choices are bad. That EU bracket looks insane, I hope we get a decent stream (and it's not best of 1...)

eh was pretty obvious once Boxer left. I wonder where MMA will go...please lord I hope he doesn't go to a foreigner team...
Should've closed when BoxeR left, even if it was always Jessica's team
He wanted to go to a foreigner team before, and even with his recent sloppiness he would be a good get.
I really don't like Sundance. He is always full of shit when he talks.
Ostijiy really should've made the NA list over guys like Desrow, Axslav and PiG.

Even with his sloppiness he is a Code A/Code S player. Great pickup for any team.
Ill be sad for people like Puzzle/Alicia. I hope they get good teams (and puzzle recovers from illness)
Always feels awkward when they talk to people since the MLG high ups are very well trained in public speaking. They tend to dominate those conversations pretty well and make the other people seem like they are just yelling lol.
Wasn't Sundance, was MLG Lee, but they all pretty much carry the same kind of bullshit when they talk.
Any conversation on Lo3 involves Wheat/Slasher/Scoots yelling

Scoots yelling. Slasher trying to bs with questions. and Wheat being on the interviewees side.

It's amazing. Zergs right back in season 1 were using burrowed banelings and yet still pretty much only a small handful of zergs manage to do it now.
Also my desktop background is still the zerg fruit picture they made for fruitdealer after he won ;;. It's been that way since season 1.
How long has Sase been in Korea failing to qualify for the GSL? TLO came just as close as he did. I would like to see Sase in it but it's his own fault he is missing out.
Yep thats the sttart up image on my laptop

Do people think there is a difference between online casted games being played "live" and ones that are off replays ?
I can barely bring myself to watch a tournament these days that isn't live (offline) let alone live online.
Well he's right.The cloud kingdom map maker who retired has posted his reasons for leaving

So many actual live tournaments, so little time.

There is a difference but either way they're not interesting. If the players aren't at the tournament i can barely bring myself to care (and the players seem to feel pretty similar to that).

What's the difference ?
This is what made me ask the question, I personally don't watch a lot of online tourneys (almost none tbh) with how much you get with GSL/GSTL and now almost every weekend now has a major EU/NA LAN event with solid players it pretty impossible to sit and watch people cast with each other over skype.
However, I am interested whenever the subject of online tournaments comes up, there seems to be this notion that an online game casted over skype is better than another as long as it is "live" and not a replay, and I can not see the reason in that at all.
typed a giant long winded answer.. but i think
Tape a football game and watch it
watch a football game live on tv.
it comes down to that.

It just feels different knowing that the game has already happened. Regardless i pretty much just avoid onling tournaments now so it's hard for me to comment.

Worst unit combination/playstyle in the game tbh. Disturbingly boring and 90% of lategame

- Hello guys. I have a question to ask about Starcraft 2 and as this is the OT for the game, well... I do not want to annoy, so if the question is not at the right place, let me know -
Having in my possession an unused collector edition of the game and being in a relatively bad financial situation I tought about selling it. It is not a 'sell post', my question is :
I just installed and played the Starcraft 1 + Add-On for old times sake, and... if I sell this collector edition, will the buyer be able to install and play it also, or is there DRM-fun on the horizon ?
When I installed it on an old OS, I saw that the CD-Key seems to be linked to a name you enter. But today I tried another install (didn't validate it thought) and the install program let me enter another name.
So what ? Is the game impossible to resell or not ? I don't want to speculate on the game and will certainly not charge too much for it, but will I have to lower even more the price because of an unusable Starcraft 1 ?

Ambiguity over when the games were actually played. For example, in early NASL seasons, games were often a month old. At the rate that players rise and fall and builds get popular and go down, it's not as entertaining to watch when the results and plays don't match up with what's currently happening... but I don't really watch online tournaments anymore either, outside of a few random occasional things if I'm bored.
