I play sc2 because i enjoy winning over people. I guess you can say i am conceited, when i beat people in games like SC2/Chess i feel superior to them. Not like oh you suck but just like theres a little thought "I am the better strategist HAHA"

This is also why i don't like cheese games, i love long macro games because when i win them, i feel that i had better macro/decision making and i was superior to them. Its honestly something i never told anyone because it just makes me sound like a complete asshole but yeah.

You wouldn't think it if you talked to me, i am a pretty laid back person about winning/losing but since i don't care when i lose games (ironic i know) i can only be happy when i play SC2 (Except losing games when i clearly had the win)

Plays against every MU with nexus first.

I played SC2 for a couple of months because BW always crashed on my computer. Then BW started working so I stopped playing SC2. Then I realized I just suck dick at RTS and gave up on both games. Now I play DotA all day with cutiepies like Kona <3

Trying to win a game and failing hard then raging and not playing SC2 until the next season so I can play my placement match and then failing that and not playing til next season. It goes on and on in an endless evil circle. T_T

Both for fun and for the competitive aspect. I really like the game, and while I don't ladder that much, I enjoy playing CG's with people that are better than me and participating in low level tournaments
Also SC2 teached me enough about mechanics that I can now play BW without feeling like a total idiot. Lulz.

To increase the size of my e-peen. That and i guess it's pretty fun when I feel like I didn't play agonizingly bad. Improvement is always good too... it's a little of everything for me i guess.

I play now because when I was younger I would play competitive sports. Now that I am older and no longer play competitively, SC2 allows me to do something competitive.

It's my way of inflicting self-harm upon myself. Eventually, down the line, it might end up helping me with learning to deal with anger and stuff like that, I don't know...

I play for lack of other RTS games.

I really DONT like Broodwar, i don't know why but it really fails to sit with me and I just find it less fun when Im at home.

However playing in a room with others is fun.

You missed an option. I only play when I need to test something I saw a pro do so I can understand it better, either cause it was difficult for me to pull of or I was just amazed by. Same goes in BW, I play BW so I can understand what I'm watching better. But I'm a full time spectator. In fact, this applies to all sports, basketball, soccer, football, I play most of them so I can appreciate what I'm watching. And ofc, they are all fun.

I have to admit; to me it's all about crushing nerds, the thrill of victory.

I play because I must. I try quitting regularly but I get extremely bored, and I find that playing and hating it is far better than sheer boredom. If there's no struggle, there's nothing.

Also winning is fun, however rare it may be
