Without official Blizzard anniversary, we have to do our own.
I wish you a lot of nicely spent time in Starcraft, since, even without official support it is still a great game with awesome gamemodes including Coop and all Arcade has to offer.
Let’s hope the servers will stay on a while longer, so we can keep being together and enjoying the jewel Starcraft is.
A nice day to reflect about my Starcraft history. I played it for first time back in 2010 in a guest account, but I created my Battle net account in 2012 or 2013 I believe, and in 2015 I became happy owner of Collector’s Edition of LotV. As for SC1, I had first contact with it in 2007 and played it a bit via Garena platform.
What was your Starcraft story?
I’ve been on and off. I just returned in january to play once more and I sadly see that its not supported anymore. Ranks in ladder are skewed and the API which reports the ladder is broken and not getting fixed. It’s sad but it was a good decade run. It is still fun but I’ll focus my gaming elsewhere. It’s sad since I met SC1 in 1999.
Don’t worry about it, ESL had secured 3 years of tournaments in 2020, so that makes supported tournaments (and of course game) till at least early 2023. Afterwards, the game will probably enter a BW like mode, so it’ll be up to the community to support e-sports, but I wouldn’t worry about the game itself unless the player base becomes too toxic for its own good.
