I am pleased to share with everyone that we now have a license from Blizzard to officially conduct a BWC tournament with prizes!

Prize pool sits at 100 dollars, we'd love to see more sponsors, making custom maps tie into esports may be just the shot in the arm they need!

None.

Woah

You need a license from Blizzard to give out prizes for SC2 custom games? I had no idea.

U don't explicitly, but it sure as hell helps when trying to keep everything on the up and up. Plus when it comes to money and blizzard these days, much better to have their stamp of approval than get shafted like Squad TD did that one time... I don't trust blizzard not to take action against people trying to do good things, they're kinda cruel and punitive like that.

I can just pull if you disapprove devlin, thought this would be rather positive news.

None.

No no, I don't disapprove. I was just curious. I didn't realize they did that.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

I knew that melee tournaments need to register at Blizzard after a specific pot size which was maybe 100$ ?
I think I heard it in some IntoTheGame episode, but I can't really remember that.

Other than me calling the Bullshit card @ Blizzard...
GL on the tournament

Any way you can post replays here or link us to them when it happens?

None.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- :wob:

Symmetry -- :wob:

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
