News / Rambling: The State of the Starcraft World

Other news I forgot to mention:
Effort has retired outright.. said that winning a starleague was his goal, he did it, and now he's going to do something else with his life.
WeMade War3 legends Lyn and Moon have also switched full time to SC2.

Also, I won't be doing the WCG videos because I don't want my account to get suspended :(

next time you do a non-game video please at least put interesting pictures or screenshots or something every 10 seconds, or just provide an MP3 download to listen to. it's annoying to stare at the metal thing for 15 minutes :(

[moletrap]

@j0e2 I didn't have time to do all that this time :P

[ThePbducky]

btw, I believe the name is Fruit Dealer, not Fruit Seller

[moletrap]

@ThePbducky Different translations of the same Korean. Same difference.

I dont know why this happened, why would Blizzard disrespect Kespa like this after all they've done for the scene and subsequently, their sales?

Gom is a terrible exploitative service, videos are unwatchable unstable and overpriced, Blizzard's decision to pimp out their product has prevented pro gaming from going mainstream for another couple years in pursuit of the petty dollar

@LetJimiT8keOver but it's moletrap, he deserves my undivided attention!

[liutenghou]

@TheLlamaSC ono, i watch moletrap all the time. i don't comment very often though. he's my favorite commentator next to Cholera, but Cholera is awal :(

Thanks for the update! I've been out of the loop because of school and work - this really helped!

@noamzilo lol i disagree, i think it was the stupidest thing he said in all of this events commentarys. Things still change, and units you thought were useless are suddenly viable. Then Terran starts meching versus zerg for a period of time. It keeps shifting. And its not like Flash determined the metagame, that was done by players WAY more old school.

@Strand0410 Activision and Blizzard didnt merge. Activision and Vivendi did. The name Activision Blizzard is confusing, but Blizzard is a seperate company, and they have their own management

@jesuscheung dude... What are you talking about? All these guys have absolutely incredible skill.

[jesuscheung]

noob heads of SC1 moving to SC2 are still noob heads!

[Strand0410]

@slowfuse Yep. And it gets worse. Apparently he wanted to strip SC2 of all its cutscenes, chop them up into a single 'movie' and then sell it to double-dip into everyones' pockets. What a greedy pig.

[Strand0410]

@sufilix Because real players actually play dozens of successful games to crawl into the higher leagues and stay there, unlike others who merely blitz their placement matches from beta experience to get into a league they're obviously not meant to be in.

And I don't know NA servers, but as an Aussie, i'm on the Asian one and it's damn competitive in Diamond.

[slowfuse]

@Strand0410 never heard of that guy until now. I looked him up, he is definitely the culprit, what a fag.
