Brood war TvP is nothing like SC2 TvP. Bad comparisons imo. Also, all-ins in SC2 have like 90% chance more success than they did in Brood war. If you all-in'd in brood war in PvT and the Terran held it off, you would usually die a minute later.

If you all-in PvT in SC2, it's very very easy to kill 8+ SCVS and even if the Terran defended it, Protoss still comes out ahead.

Eh, so no, they're nothing alike the two games are way different.

its true that a terran, if anything is microed properly, can beat lategame P. The thing thats bohering most terrans isnt, that they have to practice their control in order to kill Ps, its that P has a lot of potential in terms of unit control as well, they just dont need it yet to roll terrans.

Requiring alot of skill is indeed a good thing for eports.

You forgot to mention the Protoss side of things, where late game requires significantly less micro and perfect positioning(im saying less not none)

Thats really bad for Esports, both sides should be crazy hard to micro the whole game.

Terrans are already doing a lot to try to contain protosses in the midgame. Short of all-inning though, its extremely hard to lever an advantage, especially while in the back of their mind they're thinking "my late game comp must be perfect", whereas the protoss is thinking "just defend these drops and I can make the composition I want". It creates a scenario where protoss is fighting for their late-game comp and terran isn't. That doesn't make good game sense.
