Starcraft II is special because it's the sequel of the greatest game on earth, Starcraft Brood War.

The game itself is terrible, but what makes it special is the community that it inherited from Brood War. Blizzard may have done a bad job, but there are so many people who trying hard to make this work as an esport.
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

its in the name and the fact that it is Blizzard(which has to do with the nanme I guess) if not it would be written off as a decent game like Dawn of War or supreme commander but really nothing special.

I don't see how you can write something like this without referring even once to Brood War.

i´m no veteran poster myself, but i´d try contributing more to TL before making a "read the whole post from my blog" blog. This way it looks like 99% self promotion, 1% contribution.



You do realize that he was just describing the how he felt about the community and the game, and that he was wondering what made it special for us, right? No need to bash him...

Anyway, what makes the game special to me is the vast amount of skill needed to play it and the great community. Also, this is the first and only game I've ever watched streams and tournaments for, which makes it unique and special to me.


Well i do realize that but if if all comes to sharing the love and whatnot, why couldn´t he share the "whole post" with the community in the TL-blog itself ? I´m sorry if i sound like a douche, the text looks legit, it just doesn´t chime well with the "read the rest at www.lookatme.com" at the end.

Its played internationally and growing every day.

Unlike a certain game only played in one little country and slowly stagnating.

This is the truest thing I have heard on this site so far. SC 2 stands so high in this world because it stands on the shoulders of giants, just like how the highest rock in this world is sitting on top of Mt. Everest. Gotta give credit to where it's due: to the greatest game in history, SCBW. Cheers.
BW Forever. Flash is the Ultimate Bonjwa.

Well the season 3 player count compared to season 2 and 1 state the exact opposite. The competitive scene and the viewer base may be growing, but the majority of the actual player base (from bronze to masters) is shrinking.

As much as I kind of feel like people are hasty to agree with Rekrul, I have to look like a hypocrite now and say he's pretty much right, It's all about the BW legacy and what was transferred over. In short, it was BW that succeeded, not SC2.

This. Basically an elaboration of Rekrul's post. It's so sad seeing all the hard work put into making BW an esport being thrown away because of sc2.. Even boxer abandoned BW. Shameful selling out imo.

lol....

And Rekrul just bent the OP's intent in half like it was nothing. Kudos~

It's like SC2 is the crown jewel and BW is the actual crown.
I wonder how many people would rage if the teamliquid logo turned into "teamliquid: Starcraft II Progaming News - Community - Team"?

Wow.. It looks like the BW Elitists have taken over the blog section. And because I am a BW Elitist too, I will quote what was said before:
