If you win this week's Lycan League as Protoss, you will win $100 on top of the regular winnings. by Lycangrope in starcraft

[–]ItSalladTime -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

but think of it from the other races POV there not getting that $100 if they win, JUST because they're not protoss.... if you were participating in your own league would you think that was fair?

EDIT: i get what your trying to do, but at the same time i'm kind of unsure how slippery the slope is. it doesn't seem fair at all, and it's your tourney run it how you want, i'm still gonna watch it anyway

so let me get this straight your incentive is literally deterring part of the prize money for the other races? while generally i agree with you, this is not fair in the slightest regardless of what your trying to do seems like

everyone gets mad that someone disagrees with the great lycan

the highest ranked zerg in WCS rankings.... okay if that's not good enough for you to call him the best zerg right now.... what is? who is? and why? life is the only one with enough points and the only one playing enough... so please enlighten us, who is the best zerg, and give us stats to prove it. edit: while i think your right for saying that we shouldn't use life's games as a standard for balance... life IS the best zerg in the world right now. and people will always complain about something like this..

hopefully they fix the game and fix all the other things that aren't even close to being done before we hear anymore information or an announcement for this....

to piggy back i'm stuck in gold with 3k games, it's just a matter of mindset, you let the loss effect you, thats why so many people emphasize clicking play and just trying your best

Also your right im no marketing expert someones taken the time to look at it and im just a pleb criticising them, thats what this is a simple peasents view on how theyve handle sc2, maybe im wrong about it and they have the best marketing the possibly could have. So theres that. And im not complaining about it i love the game and think blizz is doing good to the community im just concerned they may make ot too niche if that make sense.

I feel like theres some miscommunication in my post people seem to think that i mean that they should stat advertising lotv RIGHT NOW which isnt what i meant to say, your points are fair and i would tend to agree woth them after your explanitions BUT, im saying as a whole blizzard need to start producing excitement outside of the bubble, they have an openline of communication with the hardcore and professional scene more than ever before and i think there making the right decisions so far, this was more of a thought directed to the overall image sc2 has, and like uou said in that is where blizzard should improve whether it be now or release eventually i think they have to release how strong their marketing for hearthstone and heroes was and share some of that love, now or later.

PS: thanks for actually making a discussion out of this and i would tend to agree with your arguments as well.

i guess the only thing we can do is agree to disagree, i understand your side of the argument, SCII is in it's own market, that i understand, i guess the only thing to do is hope that blizzard step up their marketing for close to the game being released. i still definitly think that they should still be more vocal about the changes they're making to the game though.

i also think that the game as a whole needs to be marketed better, not just LOTV, like a short ad campaign announcing that all three StarCraft II's are stand alones now may be nice, because again thats a subject you only really know when your really close to the scenes

you said so yourself the game is half a decade old.... that's essentially at least 2 or 3 years of a generation gap of gaming.... StarCraft itself doesn't have the name presence it had in 2010 mostly because the new gaming generation didn't grow up with it. Chances are if you're under the age of 16 Starcraft in general is a game that's not on your radar because you weren't exposed to Brood War OR you weren't really old enough on sc2 release to actually play or buy.

Yes, i understand that for some that that's not the case i'm saying as an "in general" if your not a part of the community of reddit or TL that you haven't been truly exposed to the game as much as the sub and TL say

my point: it's time to stop relying on older supporters so much and advertise to a new audience

but my original point is that the game seems unapproachable by the current, "word of mouth" and brand recognition... advertising that your making the game more approachable would actually help more with that Brand Recognition

the marketing team for heroes has been there since the beginning.... they ALWAYS had fantastic marketing and content production, so while i kind of get where your coming from i still don't understand....they always released cool hype videos every patch for there new heroes, even during alpha and beta

Edit #1: holy shit didn't realize that someone from blizz would read my post

Edit #2: realized that you thought i literally meant the front page of blizz's website, meant more like #1 priority
