 I am super excited about this. This must be what it felt like for all its fans when AoE2 got the HD touch up. I played so much Broodwar in middle and high school, will definitely be coming back to it.

Remastered BW isn't going to get anywhere near the constant levels that LoL, CS and DotA get. I doubt even Overwatch numbers, although it could probably pass HotS.

Looking at it now with modern sensibilities, it's a janky as gently caress game with strange unit interactions and deliberately limited control options. It's not going to bring in vast numbers of new viewers, just bring back some old BW grognards that lived it in its heyday. Nostalgia sells, but it's not going to bring back the crown and fully revitalise the scene.

But will it top SC2?

 There are a few stray Medic Marine TvP games here and there. Always love to see it.

Do you ever watch Artosis and these replays and think he might have a point about Brood War balance?

Absolutely not.
