Let's Play a game: Announcement of an announcement!

Been awhile since we've had one of these!

So i've been busy working on something...

Who wants to guess what it could be! I'll add some clues each day.

*If you already know, please don't spoil the fun. Perhaps throw in some false clues/guesses of your own

Coming soon... could it be WCS info?

Or maybe a Wol tournament for all people with sick hair like Artanis?

**Philosopher** · Wed, 9th-Dec-2015, 5:56 PM

Is Probe going to Dreamhack? oh wait, that already happened.

ROOTDemi · Wed, 9th-Dec-2015, 5:57 PM

WCS SEA/ANZ Details?!!! but that would have to be announced by baldie .. or maybe a SEA LOTV invitational with some NA/EU/Kr pro's?

if it's not a massively multiplayer starcraft slash fiction limerick crowdsourcing platform i'm going to be disappointed

uJeanZ · Wed, 9th-Dec-2015, 6:46 PM

Archon mode tournament?

SLCN.NXZ · Wed, 9th-Dec-2015, 6:50 PM

Are you going to announce when the announcement will occur?

Or just that an announcement is going to occur at some point.

PS I hope this thread lives up to it's spiritual predecessor, http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=3516

I'd have to be on this show for the tension.

Alright let me take a crack at this

If we look closely at Eddie's photo, there are a series of hidden images that we can see. (Pay attention, they are very well hidden) I will attempt to show them in these following zoomed in images.

+ [Top Secret Images #1] +

If you look closely in the top left corner, you may be able to see a graphical depiction of the world (or Earth). Eddie has in the past liked to use this as a representation for OSC tournaments, and the impact they have had in unifying the starcraft globe. I think this is a critical piece of the puzzle, but still, only the beginning.

+ [Top Secret Images #2] +

The depiction of the world is mirrored by the opposing corner, the bottom right, where it appears a cartoon character is depicted; giving a thumbs up. I'm still not sure who this is meant to represent or if they are someone we should know. However, if we interpret this image at face value, I believe this cartoon is to suggest that this announcement will be something positive. In combination with the graphical representation world, I suggest that this announcement will have globally positive impact.

+ [Top Secret Images #3] +

Moving on, you'll notice here that an area of Artanis is covered by Coming Soon and StarCraft II signage. I believe that if we combine all our information so far, it suggests that this new change will be coming soon to have a very positive effect on StarCraft II around the world.

With me so far? Now, here's where it really goes down.

Now, if you compare the original with the following photo you'll notice something very subtle,

+ [Top Secret Images #4] +

Did you realise?
Well, it is clear that the area which is covered by the StarCraft II logo is where a typical human nose would exist. In the above image, you'll notice that Artanis, does not have a nose.

This. Is. Huge.

I propose that in a soon to be announced update, in a series of single player missions, the protoss will discover plastic surgery and thanks to this, all protoss will receive a nose through surgery. I believe that this is a very viable path for the lore to take and that this would indeed be a hugely positive change for StarCraft II world wide.

Here is how I envision the new protoss design:

	Eddie:	rofl. WP
	ROOTProbe:	+1 +1 +1
	x5.Crescendo:	Yeah, but what about the armour on Artanis' chin that looks vaguely phallic? Where does that fit in? : ^)

Acl + esl + osc???

I think the cartoon is eddie's attempt at drawing Jim Raynor with his thumb up. This could suggest that terran is happy and probably getting a buff.
