And this is something that should absolutely not be touched.
Every race in Brood War is horribly overpowered in some way or another. Cracklings are overpowered, Mass Recall is overpowered, Siege Tanks are overpowered. The reality, however, couldn’t be further from the truth.īrood War was and still is an imbalanced mess of a game. One of the more entertaining misconceptions among those that know of Brood War’s role as the progenitor of modern esports but have not actually watched or played it is that it was a well-balanced masterpiece of a game that StarCraft 2 never matched. The second coming isn’t a given, it’s a work in progress that must be polished to perfection. Very quickly, the burns of the past went out of mind and the realization of what was happening came crashing down.Īs exciting as the prospect of a Brood War renaissance seems, it’s important to remember this can still go badly. Four of Brood War’s legends known as the most dominant of their respective races. Lee “ Jaedong” the Tyrant and Lee “ Flash” Young Ho, simply called God. Kim “ Bisu” Taek Yong, Song “ Stork” Byung Goo, two most feared of the 6 Protoss Dragons. And would feature a special showmatch between the “ TaekBangLeeSsang”. An event that would be attended by the CEO of Blizzard, Mike Morhaime. This came just as Blizzard announced a special event to take place at the season 1 GSL Finals in Seoul, the StarCraft capital of the World. As of this posting, downloads of StarCraft and Brood War are still listed as “sold out”. Blizzard’s official store, ceased sales of the original StarCraft Anthology. Then a Reddit user by the name of Voltz found something. Now four months later, here we are once again. We had assumed far too much and we were asses for it. Yet Blizzcon came and you could almost hear the grasshoppers chirping as the StarCraft community stared on in utmost confusion.
The news from Seoul said the announcement would be made at Blizzcon. And the legends that built, not just StarCraft, but all of esports, were slowly but surely returning to the frontline. Brood War was back in the spotlight for the first time in six years and the audience was there. The rumors originally started prior to Blizzcon in 2016, and at the time, why wouldn’t we believe it? The Afreeca Starleague (ASL), had just completed her maiden season. We’ve been down this road before, and we know from experience it leads to a dead end. And if you’re anything like me, your first reaction would have been to roll your eyes and move on without a second thought. For those that have been keeping up for the last year, this would seem all too familiar.
