Awesome work! The community really is what makes SCBW great, allowing the use of the EUD maps again is part of what makes that tick. Now if Blizzard would just let ASL5 happen...
- my_usernam3 9y agoI'm not convinced Blizzard is the only culprit for the ASL delay. I know there's the 80k licensing fee, but afreeka didn't have to put them on blast in public. Negotiations should have happened behind closed doors.
- ChrisRackauckas 9y agoBlizzard is paying Afreeca to host the GSL. Blizzard is paying others for Overwatch and Hearthstone tournaments. There's no reason for Blizzard to force organizations to pay to run a SCBW tournament. If Blizzard actually has a defendable position, they should share it.
- krzyk 9y agoWhat is ASL5? or EUD?
- s_m_t 9y agoAfreeca Star League 5. The largest remaining Starcraft BW tournament. Extended Unit Death. A buffer overflow exploit that massively increased the power of the map editor's "scripting language" (called "triggers" in the map editor). It was called Extended Unit Death because the trigger used was intended for the map maker to specify some sort of action upon a player having a certain number of units die. By overflowing the unit field in this trigger you could read from any memory address and by doing the same to another set of triggers that manipulated the death count you could write to any memory address. It was patched out in 1.13 for obvious reasons, however, you can re-enable EUD functionality with custom launchers to play maps that take advantage of the exploits.
