    An appeal to the community

    Posted: 16 Oct 2020 11:43 AM PDT

    Some of you might know me, some of you don't. I don't matter for this post. I'm just coming with an appeal to the community, or maybe a perspective to look at the news we have gotten, a perspective I haven't seen put down yet in a central place on this Reddit.

    With the recent news of Blizzard stopping active development for SC, no more WarChests or Co-op commanders, Blizzard has officially put the game on the Backburner. This is big news, and it's also sad news for a lot. However, I've seen this being compared to the Heroes of the Storm situation in some places, and thats why I wanted to make this post.

    We have Starcraft 2 E-Sports for another 2 years. Minimum. That is for sure. However, what happens afterwards? How do we support our players, our casters, our content creators further? What happens to the scene and everything we love in 2 years? Well,

    We as a community now have a 2 years deadline to create an Infrastructure that is self-sufficient

    And honestly, thats amazing. Looking at other grassroots communities, such as Super Smash Bros. Melee and other Fighting Games, they are still thriving. Not thriving as the big E-Sports titles are, but thriving in their own way. They pull hype, they pull viewers, the content creators can sustain themselves with the game, they got drama; they have everything. And a lot of them without ANY support of their developer / publisher.

    They had to build that infrastructure up themselves. We didn't for a long time. At least not to that point yet. We got a bit to used to getting a big fat check from Blizzard every year. But we have 2 years to build now. We have 2 years to increase our support to the people already working hard, get creative with content, tournaments, whatever. We have 2 years to build something up, and that's a huge amount of time. We've got 2 years to build something to not be dependent off of that Blizz Money anymore. And it's not like we don't have anything in place. There is already so much passion going into the scene outside of the money sponsored by Blizzard: So many new tournaments popping up, amateur tournaments going on, regional tournaments going on, so much money poured into the scene, all with no support from Blizzard.

    Of course we won't have the amount of money as if Blizzard would keep supporting us after the next 2 years (which, again, might very well happen), but now we have a form of wake-up call to really get our shit together and work hard. And for me, that is a privilege I'm more than happy to use. So for those of you who are scared about the Starcraft scene, not only do we have 2 more years of Blizzard Support for the scene, but we ALSO have the chance to build something for ourselves!

    (Also, we're still getting patches. We're still getting new seasons and maps, and for most people outside the scene, admittedly anecdotally, the game was already 'ded' anyways, so really, not that much changes.)

    tl:dr: Now is the time to build something as a community.

    Recent SC2 announcement, my take, OC:

    I know there's a lot of balance discussion in this sub, so I applied some sophisticated data science to the question and the results are in

    Fate of incomplete skin sets.

    I don't know if everyone feels the same way but this is one of the coolest pieces of Starcraft content I've seen in a while. Long live Tosis!

    Can Rotti make the top?

    Blizzard Alright You Can Walk Away - Just Promise Me You Won't EVER Reforge SC2 Got It?

    Posted: 16 Oct 2020 04:50 AM PDT

    Like don't make us pay $30 just so you can nuke ladder & profiles and force us to play ladder-less and disconnect glitchy games.

    Hope the community thrives after the GSL ESL contracts expire two years onward!

    Rotti waiting for his opponnent in DH Qualifiers, composes tweet to admin when Drama arises

    Well it felt good in the moment...

    Rotti with the PoG!

    Posted: 16 Oct 2020 11:49 AM PDT

    Smart play by Rotti, he's attacking with his DT's when zerg comes in to take them out. He lifts the DT, kills the overseers, then drops the DT so it can finish killing the hatch.

    Also, earlier he 2-0'ed SortOf!

    Saving SC2?

    Posted: 16 Oct 2020 01:19 PM PDT

    Dear Blizzard,

    How about :

    Monthly Fan-made Map competition, winner gets map thrown in map pool.

    Monthly / Bi-Monthly Unit Skin Competition, winner gets skin updated in game for time frame.

    Open up and give the community the ability to produce content for you.

    We have some amazing artists that would produce vivid results.

    This community is too grounded to get uprooted by unfortunate events.
