Monthly Recap

Going into the first month of 2014, sc2 community was looking forward to several things: first, it wasthe new structure for WCS. Partial region locking, return of GSL in Korean region as well as changes in

approach to broadcasting WCS (2-3 days per week instead of 5-6) announced by Blizzard during

Blizzcon 2013 would open new opportunities to professional players, tournament organizers, and

streamers. Second, new 2.1 patch, announced at Blizzcon as well would make arcade section of the

game available to everyone (free), enable new calendar feature for clans, bring new custom decals and

Broodwar music. Finally, new ladder season would bring new 1v1 and team game maps, which usually

results into new strategies and new exciting games for both: players and viewers. These changes andmany more will be reviewed in the sections of the report below.

2. StarCraft 2: The Game Changes, Updates and New FeaturesThere are 3 major sub-topics within this section. First, there is a need to mention StarCraft 2 1v1

balance design, which had been brought up several times on various online portals, as well as onbattle.net by David Kim himself, Lead Game Designer for sc2. Second, new ladder season has brought

new maps, which were also criticized frequently over the past month. Third, new game mod, Starbow, a

mix between StarCraft: BroodWar and Starcraft 2 has gained popularity within sc2 community to the

extent that several sponsored tournaments were being held. Finally, patch 2.1, released towards the end

of the month, implemented new changes, such as free arcade, Broodwar in-game music, extended

experience levels along with unlockable Carbot Animations portraits and decals.

I. Starcraft 2 Balance DesignThe main concerns of StarCraft 2 player-base were:

TvP matchup is considered to be skewed towards Protoss in terms of difficulties for Terran raceto deal with particular strategies.

Main concern for ZvP was swarmhost as a unit that contributed towards longer, dragged-outgames with swarmhost-queen-viper-spore and spine crawler compositions. Another concern was

lack of viable anti-air for Zerg late game against both: Terran and Protoss.

Blizzard has made several announcements regarding potential balance changes. Official announced

While most of were excited for the new maps in the ladder map pool, it had become clear that new

maps would also attract a lot of critique. Main concerns were directed at Daedalus Point and Habitation

Station LE. First map was and still is criticized for wide ramp on natural, which gave advantage to Zerg,

especially early game. Habitation Station LE brought back gold bases into the 1v1 ladder pool, which

3. Player Transfers And RetirementsMain concern at the beginning of the month was scandal involving Quanitc Gaming, their CEO, staff

and StarCraft 2 player Hyun (Z). Hyun came out with the statement that he had been ownedapproximately USD 23 000 by Quantic Team management, more specifically Simon Bodreault, team

CEO and owner. Several staff members came out later, stating that they were also owned money. Total

debt for the was estimated at USD 40 000. While Bodreault had no longer been seen, sc2 community

raised over USD 10 000 for Hyun to continue his pro-gaming career.

8/13/2019 ERA January 2014

11/36

Commentary: League of Legends is ahead in terms of average daily viewer count, with LCS reaching

highest viewership counts. Dota 2 is holding stable 2ndplace, Hearthstone, a recent release by Blizzard,

holds strong 3rd, even beating Dota 2 @ 9-00 time. StarCraft 2 is in fourth place with 12.7 thousand

viewers daily on average.

Viewers within top 3 streamers, daily average (21-00): 79%

8/13/2019 ERA January 2014

12/36

Commentary: Viewers within top-3 streamers metric is intended to show barriers of entry into streaming

of the game, as well as number of streamers within the game. For instance, lower number (as for LoL)

indicates low top-concentration of viewers, presenting more opportunities for up-an-coming streams and

smaller channels.
