GSL is dead, long live the GSL.

Ending it with Ready to Roar though was surprisingly nostalgic.

Spoiler: GIF beat the LotV campaign and is here to glo- I mean discuss
Total of 19 missions (I'm p sure there' actually 20 and I missed a secret mission or sth).

Heavy amount of cutscenes, and there are epilogue missions after all this that ties all the story.

I liked how they gave ALL the access to previous Protoss units for me to use (that includes Reavers, Arbiters, and most importantly, Dark Archons), plus some unit variances that seemed too broken. I mean come on. Immortal that does heavy AoE attack? I call hax! Carriers can heal mechanical units, reavers do extra damage against buildings, HT can normal attack, etc.

Difficulty wise, it wasn't that bad (normal mode) except for the final mission which is ofc a defense mission and I had to retry twice because omg the onslaught.

Anyway I'm gonna play the epilogue missions tomorrow.

Co-Op missions need harder modes :(

Zagara is derp for them all except shooting down the shuttles, the second you hit lvl 5 and get +10 hp / attacks reduce armor to zero for zerglings combined with 8 larva instead of 4 from inject the game feels easy-mode even on brutal. I haven't used the other heroes much yet though so it may just be her (also pairing her with the Artanis so that your zerglings become invunerable for 5 seconds when they should die is hilariously busted).

for the first time in 16 years of professional starcraft a foreigner has won a kespa tournament

i dont follow the starcraft scene like i used to, haven't played seriously in years and haven't followed it closely since ive been working full time but man it felt so damn good to watch this. years and years of growing up watching local heroes, community members and odd european chaps fight against the korean domination losing far more often then they won means finally getting to shitpost on reddit about faceless foreigners stealing koreans money and watching certain TL posters eat crow was incredible even if im not involved in the scene anymore

Not really about SC2, but StarCraft 1 is becoming free some time this week.
So anyone up for some lolmatches this weekend?

That's fantastic. I'd play if we can get something organized and if the thing can even run on Win10.

So I read there's going to be some kind of HD version - will that be free too or are they releasing the original for free in hopes you buy the prettier one?
