This a.i stuff is really cool. And finally the Koreans will have some competitio.

 

[Skab]

don't know and don't care hope the game dies..

really? why?

 

[mclem]

Blizzard-authorised botting!

(Okay, not really, but I'm fascinated what real adaptive AIs could do in a gaming environment. We saw the comparatively simple one learning SMB a while ago)

 

[LuuKyK]

That was awkward...

 

[truestatic]

So as a non-Overwatch player, what's the significance of Zarya appearing at the end?



It wouldn't surprise me if the Legion mention was the entirety of the WoW stuff, it's not really a great point in the release schedule for a reveal.

I don't think it means anything new for Zarya, she's just a champion of Russia's against the omnics. So narratively her presence makes sense.

 

[Nokagi]

Well... alright then.

 

[Acidote]

Guy has no idea what to do with his arms lol

He's a nervous Spaniard. We wave our arms while talking almost as much as our Italian neighbours.

 

[Fersis]

don't know and don't care hope the game dies..

Spoken like a true Reaper player

 

[Oscar]

This doesn't warrant main stage time IMO.

I don't play SCII, but the crowd pop alone tells you the hype just died compared to the Sombra reveal.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

"you can help by playing Starcraft 2 online"

Hears chuckles in audience.

 

[Chase17]

lol

pls play s2

 

[BiggNife]

So as a non-Overwatch player, what's the significance of Zarya appearing at the end?

It's just establishing that Zarya is being used as a pawn by Volskaya. She's intensely loyal to Russia.

 

[Formosa]

Sombra Please hack the screen again...

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I guess this is interesting but is it really mainstage opening ceremony material? Lawd.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

im dying here

 

[CelticKnight]

I'd be more impressed if DeepMind could beat Mid-Range Shaman with a Priest deck...

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

don't know and don't care hope the game dies..

Is this like ban bait or something, i dont understand

 

[nubbe]

DeepCraft
Birth of skynet right here

 

[Subpar Spatula]

I'd be more impressed if DeepMind could beat Mid-Range Shaman with a Priest deck...

oh lawd

I can see DeepMind conceding after mulligan.

Yes, it is . This announcement is more hype to me than anything overwatch-related

 

[Sparrowhawk]

don't know and don't care hope the game dies..

So edgy.

 

[Loxley]

I guess this is interesting but is it really mainstage opening ceremony material? Lawd.

Yeah, kinda seems like that could have been a press release or saved for one of the SC2 panels.

 

[ChaosZeroX]

They are saving Diablo for last aren't they?

 

[Spukc]

really? why?

Salty old gamer that doesn't understand online only mp fps games with no campaign whatsoever.

And i love blizz to bits..

 

[Nokagi]

Esports ya'll.

 

[Brokun]

Announce the Diablo something get on with it!

 

[Sky87]

Diablo's 20 year anniversary and nothing about it yet. They better go out big with it or this is a huge letdown.

 

[Ashodin]

ESPORTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[kasane]

Literally nothing

 

[nicoga3000]

That DeepMind stuff is sort of amazing. The implications of AI advancement in games is awesome.

I assume they're setting up a Zarya/Sombra rivalry?

 

[Ketch]

How long is the opening ceremony supposed to last? I've got to leave in like 30 minutes

 

[_DrMario_]

Lol Thijs

Dead.

Surely it can't be a bigger letdown than vanilla D3.

 

[Outrun]

Has it started?

 

[Syf]

DeepMind and the Overwatch stuff is cool but seems to be a lot of filler this year.

 

[Faiz]

Salty old gamer that doesn't understand online only mp fps games with no campaign whatsoever.

Because those haven't been around for like 2 decades?

so because you dont understand it, no one else is allowed to enjoy it?

 

[Ikuu]

It's an hour long.

 

[bjaelke]

Thijs :lol

costing people free packs

 

[Dunfisch]

Yeeeah... if Diablo makes an appearance, it's presumably to close the opening conference. Well get on with it.

 

[btown]

They are saving Diablo for last aren't they?

Save the best for last... hopefully.

 

[Firemind]
