Has it really been 9 years? Blizzard's most beloved franchise is making its comeback on May 19th at Blizzard's World Wide Invitational (WWI) in Seoul, according to a TeamLiquid translation of this original Korean news article.

Quote:
It has been confirmed that StarCraft 2 is being developed in 3D, a new race has been added and existing units' characteristics will have many changes. Additional details will only be revealed to certain parts of WWI.

However, trustworthy information is being leaked from previous Blizzard employees, and through an acquaintance of ex-Blizzard North employees, StarCraft 2's development and its announcement at the WWI has been confirmed.

MBC Game's Lee Sang-Ho head said "Frankly, it's half anticipation and half worry. If SC2 is released in a form that is compatible with e-sports broadcast, there will be many new gamers and the entire industry will develop. However if it comes out in a form that is not easy to broadcast, like WarCraft 3, StarCraft fans will focus on the sequel while the original league will suffer a decline", expressing a cautious mindset.

OnGameNet's StarCraft commentator Um Jae-Kyung said "Blizzard has probably already grasped the difference between this nation's gamers and foreign gamers' difference in inclination through WarCraft 3. So I'm hoping for a more balanced structure, a structure with e-sports in mind. However, I believe that the e-sports league will continue to focus on StarCraft and a new league focusing on StarCraft 2 will form, the industry growing bigger as a result. As a gamer, I'm really looking forward to it.

MBC Game and OnGameNet are the organizers of the two big StarCraft leagues in Korea. For them, the progamers, and for the fans across the world, news of a SC2 is both bracing and alarming. Will SC2 live up to its own pedigree, or will it fall? Only time will tell that tale!!

En Taro Tassadar, Executor. We meet again.

please make terran more useful. im getting sick of getting owned by mass zealot assaults and lurker hordes.

[dysphunktion]

Preach the good word. Terran troops are completely worthless unless they are in a bunker for -early- base defense. Lurkers just eat them alive.

[XxMASTARRONxX]

I would have to disagree with you guys talking bad about the terrans. Siege tanks with goliaths, marines with medics, battleships. Terrans are the best race. You guys are just noobs!

[Ganster-T]

Maybe it will be "World of Starcraft".

"Terrans are the best race." How subjective is that statement...yikes. Protoss is the best. Oh wait no, today I think it's Zerg. Shrug. You may be the end-all bad ass with the terrans but I fucking despise them.

NO FREAKING WAY!

Wow, been waiting for this for 10 years almost. Have barely played any games since starcraft. HOPEFULLY this is true! Amazing post!!!!!!!

You're probably right. I haven't touched SC for years. I did awesome on those 3v3 island maps. But anything else I would always get rushed and owned. I'm good at the long, drawn out games, but not those short ones.

Way to go blizzard, why not wait until your primary fans are living in retirement communities.

WC3 sucked ass because of all the micromanagement. RTS are supposed to be about strategy, not who can click each little unit faster.

[1mOntana]

their primary fans are 20-30 year old koreans

WC3 was a greatgame, what are you talking about? Micromanagement has ALWAYS been the key factor in winning a battle in every blizzard RTS. Once you get to the big leagues, your keystrokes in milliseconds are everything.

Don't triple post. lmao

Anyways I heard a rumor that when SC2 goes online they are going to shut down all SC servers. Is this true?

i know right. excuse me if im not korean and have 5000 clicksa minute.

sc also need to be able to select all buildings at once, like say i wanan build a shitload of marines, click all the barracks and build from there.not click every fucking little barracks and que a whopping 5 marines.

and my last bitchery, siege tanks should be able to fire when moving, and do more damage per shot. (when mobile)

[Sketcher]

I'm getting it as long as you don't have to pay some stupid monthly fee.

I've never heard that rumor before. Most likely just that, a rumor. It wouldn't make much sense to do that either.

ok, firstly you can hotkey all your baracks 1-9. then you just have to click 1m 2m 3m 4m 5m 6m 7m 8m 9m its pretty easy. and tanks can hit while moving just not in siege mode, but that would fuck the whole game up. you cant change anything its perfect the way it is

WC3 was total garbage, much different gameplay than Starcraft, hell they even tried to name it a Real Time RPG.

Different sorts of micromanagement. Warcraft focused on telling an individual unit what to do, ie click on each of your 50 sorceresses and telling them to cast slow, or moving a stupid hero around to kill creep. Warcraft3 wasn't about strategy, it was about controlling individual units.

[avix123]

Slow defaults to autocast. Also you can select groups, not just individuals.

[emoisgay]

as long as the game is good and they dont fck it up.
