I don't think being good at BW makes you instantly a good general, but I don't think there is any specific evidence that Savior would NOT make a good general, that is the only point I am contending. And Jibba, I'll post that if no one else has in a bit, I want to see how the react to my current post first. | ||

The idea is that a huge component of tactics lies in the time you're allowed to make those decisions. In Starcraft, strategy does not vary so much among good players because everyone knows the appropriate builds, counters, etc. Tactically, there is a huge amount of variation and time is a big reason for that. If you removed time as a limiting factor, tactics would become formulaic as everyone would know which maneuvers to pull off and how to do them. When tactics and strategy both stall, you usually run into boring, defense oriented, dragged out affairs, as more people become capable of responding to pressure adequately. With a time constraint, the advantage is given to the attackers and it becomes more difficult to respond to each move. Thus you get a fast and exciting game, like the Showtime Lakers. Comparing chess to speed chess is an absolutely horrible example. First of all, chess is a super dumbed down version of Starcraft. Second, it's still a turn based game, so you don't have dynamic circumstances to deal with. You simply cannot accurately compare a real time game to a turn based game. | ||

I already said that Turn-based games / Macro RTS / Fast paced RTS ( broodwar ) are each different kinds of games and it is a matter of taste. Nevertheless you can still make comparisons with other RTS or Turn-based games like chess and point out the characteristics of each games, why you ( dont ) like it, why you think it is a great game, balance issues and so on. But when you make comparisions between 1v1 GAMES and real life battles involving thousands of PEOPLE you are a fucking dork who takes starcraft too seriously. Stop to dream, reaching B+ rank doesnt mean that you are smarter than the D- beginner. It doesnt mean that you would be a better general neither. You are just more used ( or skilled ) to play a fucking video game. I hate those stupids analogies. edit: btw mechanics > strategy in broodwar. | ||

I'd give my classic example of my success at low apm except I said I'd stop doing that after some guy nagged me so pm me if you want to hear me brag. To give a different example, K00lam beat Testie on Longinus with 90apm. He did it by having excellent game sense and strategy, even though his mechanics were, at 90 apm, pretty awful. | ||

I really hope sc2 gets an eSports opportunity in the U.S., even though it's highly unlikely. | ||

I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands (if not millions) more out there, so there's no way that anybody can convince most of them to change their opinion, let alone even change a single person's. I fully trust that Blizzard won't slow down the game just for them so I really don't care what one self-important retard thinks about the game. | ||

I also doubt, contrary to what he claims, that he played progamers in Korea. After all, he's called TL Blizzard attendees progamers. LOL | ||
