SC1 rebirths with Remastered Version: Will Blizz become Esports tycoon again?
[SportsSeoul, Kim Jin-wook]
Starcraft: Brood War, a game which has long been popular among nationals over 18 years, will be remastered with HD and better graphics.
Officials say that Blizzard has been working on ‘Starcraft: remaster’, an upgraded version of Starcraft, and plans to release it late this year or early next year.
It is known that Starcraft: Remaster is targeted to strengthen graphics and battle.net services, while maintaining features and interactions of the game.
According to an official, “Blizzard once inquired me about upgrading Starcraft early this year. The most noticeable changes were graphics, but the core point was the structure of Battle.net.”
He also stated, “It looked just like classic battle.net. However, you should connect to the new one to play it.”
SC1 is still popular in the domestic market, but in the foreign market as well. It`s share is 3%, invitation matches attract many audiences and always got high viewer ratings.
However, Blizzard unsupported this game for over 5 years, excusing practical challenges. Releasing Starcraft: Remaster, It is expected that Blizzard is trying to upgrade this game while trying new business model.
Especially, it seems that Blizzard is preparing BW scene`s revival; officials said, “Blizzard strongly demands KeSPA to maintain SC2 teams. Which means, They`re planning to increase the clout of the esports scene by re-switching SC2 Proleague to SC: remaster Proleague. It seems that Blizzard is trying to reclaim the hegemony of esports from LOL and Dota 2.”
Besides, there`re various predictions for BW`s new business model. Since the game is almost free to play, it is not easy to make players pay for it. If the game is play-to-play, it would follow the a similar path as SC2.
With regard to this issue, another official stated that “SC1:remaster`s business model would rather be an battle. net upgrades. Since SC1 has many faithful fans, they would establish long-term plan by uniting Battle.net services.”

Full of apocryphal sources. I`m sure that it`s a clickbait.
