The Temple of Dagon

Anthony. Ok, they most likely won't have separate ladders—maybe Blizzard will take the WoW approach where if you want to play LotV you need HotS. Just like if you wanted Wrath of the Lich King, you needed Burning Crusade. But if you didn't buy the expansions, would you really have been left behind? Like I said, Blizzard is smart. Just because you don't have the expansions doesn't mean that you can't experience the rest of the world with everyone else. With World of Warcraft, you wouldn't be in some bizzaro Azeroth where it's only you and a handful of people who didn't pick up the expansions. You see everybody all the time. True, you can't go to Outlands or Northrend, but you didn't want to—otherwise you'd get the expansion. Smart programming on Blizzard's part keeps WoW from becoming fragmented, and should do the same with SC2. Blizzard loves their fans, so whatever they do with wow power leveling SC2, I know it'll be worth whatever we pay and will work out in the end. The Verdict. As always, the lives of these wretched interns rest in your devious hands. Tell us who you think won, and King Logan will be pleased with a new champion of the arena while the other is fed to the lions. PS—no Josh Augustines were harmed in the writing of this article. It so happens that most of the world is not close to Anaheim, California, so getting to Blizzcon can be a hassle. That doesn't mean you can't follow the proceedings though, because the internet exists. Not only can you watch everything that happens at Blizzcon live and in HD, but you can also watch people make rude remarks in the accompanying comment section. There is a catch though.
