Blizzard should just realize that BW is unsurpassable and re-release that with some GUI polish as HotS.
BW has already been surpassed.
More units sold.
Larger eSports community.
No more BW eSports community except for very small closed circles.
On the other hand, many people complained that WoL was NOT a BW clone with some GUI polish when it was released. Hey look, Blizzard is listening to it's fans.

I'm reasonably certain that Widow Mine isn't going to make it to live.
The Zerg stuff looks fine, the Toss stuff looks (Mostly useless) and the Widow Mine looks roflpwn.
Reaper+Ghost will make a surprising showing if Reapers grant sight up ledges. Nuclear Launch Detected, with no telltale scan.

I mean... spider mines? Goliaths? Lurkers? Arbiters? Dark Swarm? Come on blizzard, we aren't dumb.

see, and here i thought i remember people complaining at release that "Oh, it's just BW with a graphics update, why should we care?"
And...at this point, I'm not really seeing them being the slightest of changes. similar, i suppose. A toss air caster that can do a stasis-y styled thing (that functions not at all like stasis and a detection ability. A terran unit that's closer to the lurker than what the zerg gets. No real goliath substitute that makes sense, and nothing like spider mines since the widow change. perhaps there was a starting point there, but they don't honestly feel that close at this point.
Except the hellbat.

I've seen a few cool tricks with Reapers, ranging from Siege Tanks and Thors to Widow Mines and Ghosts going around. Despite that I originally thought that Blizzard was trying too hard to make the Reaper viable, they certainly gave it a nice ability which helps its purpose as a harassing unit.
As i'm sure Knee can attest, I'm still bad at starcraft and can barely do a competwnt zerg rush. What the hell do protoss and terran DO after the
Warpgate and siege tank?

Did some random 4v4s, with pretty much all bronze. Was fun, got terran both times on High Ground. That is fun stage for terran. I sieged the middle until I could thordrop. Because bronze, they either slow or way too fast. I actually set up a bunker in the back of one of their bases and sieged up behind it. /troll

OK, something is seriously wrong with the ranking system. It's all Wonky 0.o
Before the reset? I was Platinum across the board.
Yesterday? Some weird things happened when I did my "play a match to be placed" in each division.
4v4. Position before reset: Platinum. Result of Placement match: Loss. Placement: Diamond (Wtf)
3v3. Position before reset: Platinum. Result of Placement match: Loss.
Placement: Platinum. (Makes sense)
2v2. Position before reset: Platinum. Result of Placement match: Win.
Placement: Silver (ARGLEBARGLE)
1v1. Position before reset: Platinum. Result of Placement match: Win.
Placement: Gold (I can see that, I was on a losing streak beforehand)

I don't know what to tell you other than that the new season placement system works in mysterious ways.
MLG weekend starts soon. Who is going to watch it?
Barcraft was awesome. Leenock (AKA Leenoctopus) came in second, defeated by another Zerg player named Life. The final was 4-3. Life lost the first two matches, won a match, lost a match, and then won the rest to take it. I think Life is mostly big around GSL circles, or maybe I'm confusing him with Flash.
It was a really interesting series between those two. There was an epic Roach VS Roach battle, we saw a failed cheese/all in to a successful Infestor play, we saw attrition, we saw Leenock win it on 2 bases to Life's 3 and 4. Both players were easily within 1% of each other at all times. I would be willing to wager that these were easily the hardest and most stressful matches of Leenock's career thus far.
I'm a player who normally doesn't care about who wins. I don't follow teams, I don't follow players, I'm a fan of great plays. So when 7 matches are so full of great plays that I'm cheering for both players, constantly, something went very right that day.
Also, I won 3rd place in a unit impersonation contest. I chose the SC1 Firebat.
"Wanna turn up the heat?"
*crowd cheers*
"You got it."
*cheers*
"Fire it up!"
*cheers, whistles, hoots*
"Naturally"
*laughs*
"Do you have any questions about propane?"
*cheers*
Wait for it, wait for it...
"Or propane accessories?"
*Much cheering*
First place guy did an ultralisk.
"Moo. Moo."
*makes scything motions with hands*
*Much laughing and cheering from crowd*
Our barcraft has a serious Zerg bias though.

Sorry, Halo 4 currently has possession of my soul. Once I get it back, I need to finish Assassin's Creed 3. Then maybe I can appear back online, if Minecraft doesn't drag me away again.
