Just a pretty funny thought that came into my mind when I saw Seinfield, an RA3 player, participate in the beta as well as several known WC3 players in it as well.

This has been a dream from many eSport analysts for some time now that they have even concluded that there will be rivalries between Nada/Grubby and Ret/Moon.

Bless Blizzard so that they can make this successful. SC2 fighting!

no, not all RTS players since SC2 lacks many of the 'innovations' in the RTS genre that some people enjoy

I'm pretty sure that Starcraft has a vast majority of players, so the RTS community doesn't need to be united.

It would be a bit sad if people were playing one game. Plus I wouldn't like Blizzard to have such a monopoly (old Marxist telling you it's wouldn't be good whatsoever).

Nada? The most succesful starcraft player ever has a rivalry with Grubby? Grubby who?

Pretty much everyone from now on will play SC2 except SC1 progamers imo.

Dawn of War, WC3 and AOE players will all switch over when the already limited tournaments for those games dry up.

it'll be the most played RTS, but a lot of people don't like the Starcraft style of gameplay. they'll prefer something like Company of Heroes or Supreme Commander.

in terms of e-sports competition, it'll just be SC 2 with people that can't let go of of the past still playing BW or WC3.
E-Sports is competitive video gaming with a spectator fan base. Do not take the word "Sports" literally.

Most non koreans who enjoy blizzard style RTS games (bw and wc3) will probably play sc2. Maybe some top players from games like RA and C&C in the hopes of making some cash.
Otherwise, I hardly think so, top Age of xxx gamers will probably think the game is too simple and boring, while the mediocre ones will say "3 races only, what????"
And I don't think the game has anything at all to offer people who enjoy games like dawn of war, surpreme comander or CoH.
All in all, most wc3 and foreign bw players will probably play sc2. The chinese will stay with wc3 + some bw and the koreans with bw, at least for a while. At least that's what I think =p

SC2 has so many hard counters even I, a huge SC fan, might not end up liking it...

Surely most competitive-minded rts players will try it. But how long different people will stick remains to be seen. Its unlikely that the game will be so good that everyones happy playing only it.
