SC2 is getting its 12 workers back!

Patch 5.0.17 is on the PTR and undoes most of 5.0.16: starting workers 8 to 12, Command Center 400 minerals again etc..

Months of new build orders, refunded. A fresh PTR is already being worked on.

Everything isn’t fixed - but it’s progress!

Elazer swept Gerald 3-0 in the ScienceCraft grand final in Warsaw.

Gerald had beaten him 2-0 in groups that same day and came in ranked #18 in the world by E-Rankings to Elazer's #60. Then the final went Fear and Faith, Blackrock, Old Sun Temple. All Zerg.

Evil Geniuses shuts down Nov 2 after 27 years. For StarCraft fans, EG means 2010: iNcontroL, IdrA fresh off CJ Entus, and Tasteless managing the team while casting the GSL.

Which EG StarCraft moment stuck with you?

Weeks after StarCraft's 1998 launch, Micro Star sold Stellar Forces: 22 single-player and 32 multiplayer maps made with Blizzard's own Campaign Editor.

Blizzard sued, since the editor's license banned selling what you built.

By November it was pulled, stock destroyed.

Is StarCraft II getting a remaster? Not confirmed.

SC2Historian says a source citing a senior Blizzard employee claims a bigger team is now on SC2: anti-cheat first, then something big in 2027, likely a remaster over an expansion.

Blizzard hasn't commented.

This week's SC2 Co-op mutation is a light show that wants you dead.

Mutation 548, Shining Bright, on Mist Opportunities: an enemy Laser Drill hits anything in its vision, a Purifier Beam drifts toward your army, and every enemy hit slows you down.

StarCraft's first numbered novel gave its hero two names.

Jeff Grubb's Liberty's Crusade (2001) sends UNN reporter Liberty to Mar Sara to meet Raynor, Kerrigan and Mengsk.

The back cover calls him Danny. Inside, he's Mike. https://t.co/RoNCizxb2N

@SC2Historian If this is true. I am so happy.
