Progamers and top players wouldn't be incredible if some random C rank can beat them. | ||

... this entire post is terrible, doesn't make sense, and actually points out the bad parts of SC2 as reasons to try the game. The broodwar one was at least a good post... | ||

I'm was B- and I approve of this thread. Please qualify that. Lots of people abuse ladder to get higher that their actual rank. Were you C+ on one map in one matchup and for one day got just enough points to be B-? Did you consistently get this rank? Did you ever do series play, or just 1-4 builds over and over again? IMO ladder ranks are an ok judge of skill but they're imperfect for these reasons. To be good at StarCraft you have to have depth, and before you hit A and start playing the same people over and over again, you could basically do one thing over and over and a great deal of players did do this and don't really have that high an understanding of the game. After years of progamer replays and VODS to draw upon I could turn off my brain since I knew mutas weren't going to be at my base until 6:45. This is kind of the crowning example of exactly what I mean. This isn't a true BW experience, this is the ladder experience on a season when everyone was doing 3 hatch muta over and over. When you play a series a person who does one build over and over is very bad and predictable. People forget about predictability on the ladder and do the same build over and over because they think they're playing strangers and it doesn't matter, but then those same people whine like babies when someone does anything not predictable, call it cheese, etc. This is what happens to me when I play ladder. I do anything that breaks this comfort and I get Idra style complaints (esp now that sc2 players are trying bw lol). I went 5gate zealot speed +1 vs a zerg who thought I was fe and went 3 bases and he called me a noob. I'm guessing you have the same reaction. I'm guessing you have selective memory and don't remember all the VODs where progamers didn't use that exact timing. My SC2 experience was just that it had much less depth and didn't let me do many things that BW let me do to be better than my opponent. I did ok based off my mechanics and general rts knowledge, but it just wasn't fun. I am not someone who plays just to see the victory score screen, I need the game to be interesting too (and I know there are actually a lot of people who just care about the score screen... those are the same people that grind the same build over and over on ladder). | ||

In the upper 90 percent tile, BW players have tried SC2. I'd say 95% of those who did, didn't like it. The other ones couldn't run it on their computers. End of discussion now plz? | ||

Well, you can give it a try again when the game becomes cheaper. | ||

Yeah, but I'd also guess that most of them were trying it during the phase when everybody was just 1basing, the maps were awfule and everything as horribly imbalanced. I think the point of the OP is that people should give it a try now (or at least later). | ||

Didn't like her once, wait 2 years until she's had some traumatic events in her life, maybe you'll like her then? No entiendo. | ||

But what if "She became very obese because of the over-hyped she's feeding?".

If you want to convince others to play , you should at least try to list why sc2 is good/ worth playing Now that you mentioned it, yeah. I've never heard any good thing about SC2, ever. EVER. It would be good if someone address this ^_^ | ||

I'm sorry to say this, but I think BW people deserve more than people telling them they need to try out SC2 for whatever reason. We know what we want, and this feeling cuts across all BW people. It's a matter of | ||
