Battle Report Pet Peeve

I absolutely can not stand trying to follow a game when there is only scrolling from one area to another. Just click the mini-map for crying out loud. Put the obs mode in the hands of a pro for crying out loud. Since macro is such an important mechanic, how about focusing more on that? Show us the expansions, show us vital defenses and positioning of the most relevant units.

There may be something to be said for scrolling swiftly to keep the audience aware of the battleground, but of course I generally agree that they are showcasing things like nubs.

However, this is likely intentional and I'm sure that they are aware of it - they are trying to reach newer players who don't even know what serious starcraft play looks like or have never seen commentating of starcraft. This is part of their effort to broaden the game and promote the health of its future scene as an eSport

Cool blog, just found it :o
