Surprise announcement at the GSL semifinals.



We get a single elimination exhibition tournament from our BW bonjwas before the GSL final.

It's probably gonna be done in the brood war re-release Blizzard has been teasing for a few years now. The SC1 anthology just went out of stock on B.net. https://us.battle.net/shop/en/product/starcraft

I really enjoyed the Terran campaign in the original Starcraft. A chance to play through The Hammer Falls again using a new engine would be welcome.

On topic: it'd be great for competitive Brood War multiplayer, too.

it's not a new engine, it's supposedly just an updated battle.net interface and larger resolutions (with hd models)

the entire sc1 campaign is rebuilt in sc2 though. the problem with it is kinda highlighted when I tried it: it's just loving slow and boring to play compared to the newer campaigns of SC2.

Yeah everything we know about it is just anonymous korean "sources" and forum posts.

At worst we get to watch Jaedong, Flash, Bisu, and Stork slug it out. But now there's an offical Blizzard post on the event mentioning that Mike Morhaime is there and making special note of Starcraft's 19th anniversary.

quote:

Since its release in 1998, StarCraft has been weaving your past and present together: 19 years of fond memories within the Koprulu Sector — playing StarCraft with friends or at LAN parties, discussing strategies, practicing your micro and macro, and watching the rise of the new heroes we cheer for in tournaments, LANs, and BarCrafts — has elevated StarCraft to an experience that every generation can share and enjoy together, even all these years later. Your continued passion, support, and dedication are the reason StarCraft has become so much more than just a game.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped make this happen and celebrate StarCraft’s 19th anniversary together.

(bonus lol at Blizzard doing more for Starcraft's 19th anniversary than they did for Diablo's 20th if this HD re-release is real)

That wasn't the impression I got watching ASL at all, it was almost tiring hearing the basics of Brood War and unit control and why it's so hard, but I'll put up with it cuz I know exactly why they gotta explain that. Hell if anything I'm pretty sure as long as they're together Tastosis could be enthusiastic about casting paint drying and have a good time.

3-2 Flash, at least one of the games is gonna have a proxy nydus get scouted at the worst time and cost Shine the game.

In my wildest dreams, it's a 3-2 for Shine and he busts out a BM infested CC.
