Hi, what is the best game to recommend to an SC2 newbie that thinks it is better viewing than BW?
The game does not necessarily need to be played well, but it would have to: + be professional + exciting all the way through + have an active start and middlegame with preferably a close ending + involve many units/tech shifts + many ooh/ahh moments with mines/scarabs/plagues
Basically, the best vod to convince someone outright that BW was a better spectator sport than SC2.
I'm annoyed at this guy at work who seems to think differently without watching any BW epics.
(btw, I don't want pimpest play vods.)
Nal-ra vs savior on peaks comes to mind, but I wanted a game with more... dazzle. That was a bit more like siege warfare. I want a game that explodes in their faces, even if there are many mistakes. And good english commentary is a plus.
Imagine the rocky fights in BW form. with more units.
You can't really prove anything about either game with a single VOD... I mean, there might be one really good game but the average game is boring, right? You'd have to introduce him to the progaming leagues, really. For someone who views a game of Starcraft the first time it's honestly not all that impressive, you have to have a grasp of what's going on imo. Also what Shade###### said.
English commentary? That cuts down the list by a decent amount |: Either way, shouldn't be too hard, considering BW is better to watch then SC2. Unless he's one of those people that complain about how annoying the graphics/resolution is non-stop. -Attempts to find a VOD-
Lol this reminds me of when Ryan Rushia was watching the finals last weekend and me and Rael were explaining everything. "What's that orange cloud thing?"
Idk about BW being a better spectator sport than SC2 tho. I have watched 1000's of BW games and 1000's of SC2 games and I think Sc2 is a SLIGHTLY better spectator sport.

It's preference. People who aren't that familiar with BW aren't going to suddenly enjoy it. Feel free to show videos to him, but I doubt it will make a difference. Just be happy he enjoys part of the Starcraft series, even if its not the part you may enjoy.
