(Edit) Another suggestion I have is maybe have a free starcraft multiplayer weekend like you see games doing on steam all the time to get new players into the game, now would obviously be a great time with the WCS finals. We all know the focus of the dev team is co-op vs AI and the 1v1 ranked ladder, these are core to the SC2 experience and the money makers for blizzard but the arcade is an additional extra, why not allow the Archon ladder to be played in the free to play starter edition of Starcraft in the same way the arcade is allowed? Archon mode solves these issues to some degree allowing 2 players to split the responsibilities between them and also the stress of playing alone against another opponent.

When I ask them why not try SC2 they all say that its too hard or intimidating to learn, or they just want to play a game with friends and are not interested in 1v1. I know a decent amount of people who are interested in RTS games like AoE, total war and C&C. You'll contain the top spot of the game, add as many. PvT: 8 Zealots, 2 Stalkers, 2 Sentries, and 1 Archon vs. The first is to select 'Single Player' from the top of the main screen, then select 'Play Versus AI'.

So I think Archon mode is a great way to ease new players into the fun of Starcraft 2, however it currently is not as popular as it could be with only 18 teams being GM on NA and around 60-70 across all ladder regions. Some attempts at a StarCraft 2 AI build on the framework provided by the default StarCraft 2.
