Comments on region locking, and general direction Blizz wants to go in
The seasonal grand slams received a lot of criticism for negating the storylines built up over the course of the season in each individual region. Will they be continuing in their current form?
We think the season finals are exciting to watch and have a different story from the regional finals, but we agree that it would be good to give more attention to each of the individual regions. We have decided that the season finals will not be continuing in their current form and we’re looking to change how they work in 2014. By taking away the season finals from each season, we hope to give more significance to each of the individual regional finals and global tiered events.
We think the international moments from season finals could potentially be substituted by creating more opportunities for other major tournaments participating in the WCS point system. We hope to provide a greater spotlight and give more importance to the major tournaments such as DreamHack, IEM, and Red Bull Battle Grounds.
Hey everyone, I am working on something and I was wondering if you might be interested. I am seriously considering adding team sponsor logo support to GameHeart. I think it will be a pretty controversial topic when I post about it in my blog or on reddit.
So knowing that people will want to share their own ideas on how best to implement such a feature I created a tool to allow them to do just that. It is a custom map you can find on the arcade which allows you to create and adjust logos and decals on the map so you can show me and the community how you would handle sponsor logos.
Here is a screenshot of one idea I had, made entirely using the tool I just uploaded to the arcade.
If you would like to try it and and see if you can come up with any interesting ideas of your own on how to add sponsor logos I would love to see them. I would love to have more ideas to present in my blog post as examples before unleashing the tool on the community.
The arcade map is called "GHTesting - Sponsors 1"
Jesus Christ. I was wondering why nobody was using this to come up with some ideas. It turns out I had the map set to private. Anyways, it is online and publicly available now so if you guys want to play with it can post screenshots of your ideas I would really appreciate it. I will probably include some of them in my next GameHeart blog update on Monday. I would appreciate your help.
That turned around pretty quickly. I swear I was watching Dear ahead with lots of DTs in SoO's base, looked away and read something on my other monitor, then SoO was way ahead with a huge army. I'm guessing that he overcommitted to DTs; they didn't seem to be doing enough damage for the cost of all of them, despite Tastosis going crazy for them.
the DTs were ok, but Dear needed to transistion to more HTs, and use storm better. If you can have even semi-favorable position vs Hydras, storms can be brutal. soO's concave in that fight was really good

finally another protoss champion who isn't MC
Fun act - I wrote all my last few posts on my surface using the handwriting tool with the stylus. It is learning quickly how to recognise my toddler-like scrawl.
soO played so passive the entire series except for the game he won. He kept trying to hold off and hit that late game army, only to have Dear spot what he was up to and get the right tech out in time, or be caught off guard by an all in by Dear.
I saw your comment to MIT Game Lab's post on reddit.
I swear man, if I owned a game development studio I would have offered you at least two jobs by now to make sure you took at least one of them. You are so on the ball with this stuff.
I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
