Good luck! This game is x100 harder than CS tho, be prepared



lol. SC2 is not harder then CS.

I play CS:1.6 and its wayy harder.
I dont play pubs.


SC2 is a 1v1 game and CS is a team game. There also different genres. So comparing the difficulties of the two is nigh impossible.

Yeah I agree, apples and oranges.

Well, if you consider the time invested into becoming good, sc2 could be harder than CS. I used to play CS (until 2002) and with a proper environment you can get good relatively fast, probably 2 years or even less. With bw it was nearly impossible, with sc2 it could be hard too (depends on how you define good), because every B- and above player that switched from bw will have at least a 4 year head start on you in terms of mechanics. Old wc3 players count too.

I think sc2 would be a lot easier to get good at than BW at this point in time. I was never that great at BW, but I always wished I had gotten in right at the beginning so I could participate in the discovery of the "official" strategies in each matchup.

I'm really excited now that I have the chance to get into sc2 at the very beginning and experience the evolution of the game.

GL in your quest!!

Difficulty for what? To beat a single player campaign? To beat player X? It's all relative. Given roughly the same competitive environment, there is no more or less difficult.

Versus the average player or team. Getting into upper diamond isn't much of a feat, and even though CS's run is near its end, the skill level of your average CEVO-M team is much, much higher than CAL-M teams were 5 years ago.

The same thing happened in BW.
