Progamers and top players wouldn't be incredible if some random C rank can beat them. It happened the same to me, i beated foreigner players in sc2 that were like A or so in iccup, but in sc2 it felt that we were at the same level, and it felt wrong, wasnt satisfying even tho im b+/a-, the skill gap seemed so little in difference with bw, i mean a player that have godly muta micro can just destroy you with that, ull never see that in sc2, as day 9 said, if you have like the best micro in the world, ull be able to maximize to 1.5x the efficiency of the unit, as opposite to bw when you can 10x it if you have impecable reaver/shuttle or muta micro, or vulture or marine or whatever, almost everysingle unit. Microless units takes almost half the fun of the game to me. Easier mechanics like the ones everyone knows makes the game simpler, and skill ceiling lower, every one can jangbi storm in sc2, everyone can flash macro, none has idle workers, so it feels like every single time the better army wins, well everyone gets the point so, and i dont like that, i dont want to take games and even series off players that practice twice as much as i do, i want to be utterly destroyed because thats the way it should be, to newer players its appeiling i guess, but not to me. I bought it, played it like 3 months, around 3000 games, liked it at first, got bored, stopped played and cared about it, sold it, went back to bw, i gave it a chance and dissapointed me, ill just keep drooling all over my keyboard and scream like a fangurl when i see jaedong play. If you havent played it, give it a change, maybe you will like it as i did first, i cant deny i was exited at the thought of sc2, but it didnt turned out well (at least for me). Now im going to read [SPL] R2 Week 3 - Year of the Dragon yay ! | ||

Well... there's something called the community that has already accomplished quite a lot of error fixing to be done by Blizzard. | ||

I've never heard any good thing about SC2, ever. EVER. It would be good if someone address this ^_^ Well the graphics are pretty sparkly | ||

I never played much, though I watched plenty of bw. I got SC2 when it came out and immediately got placed in diamond (when there was no masters) and then masters. The problem was, I'm a huge noob whose bw experience was plays BGH on b.net and know that I would be D at best on iCCup and that to get to D+/C- would take quite a bit of practice. No ty, I'd rather watch gosu people stomp other not quite so gosu people in a game that has a higher skill ceiling. | ||

As a D+ BW player who has never tried SC2 beyond the beta, I'm certainly more inclined to try SC2 after reading this. And for those of you who said "I tried SC2 and it just wasn't as good", how far did you guys go and what levels did you play against? Since a lot of these comments are along the lines of "No you're wrong, because you haven't played A level people", but how many of you have played A level SC2 people....? | ||

One of the threads that makes me violently ill is the elephant in the room thread. That thread was written off the back of a couple of months of REALLY bad pro performance/games and basically is a thread that bashes SC2 and its players. But by comparison BW players were barely figuring out how to use hotkeys and work out mechanics. Give SC2 another 8 years and 2 expansions and i get the feeling that the feel of the game will be more worked out as well, which is the general feel i am getting from the majority of posters. Tldr: The Op was poorly implemented because SC2 is no where mature as BW yet. Time will tell. | ||

But I am not sure about learning something from SC2 that will help on my BW skill. I can still get different kind of enjoyment out of playing SC2. Maybe I didn’t play enough of SC2 but I do not think playing SC2 will help being better at BW. But for the opposite case…. I feel like I can utilize macro better. Man do I feel weird about rallying the nexus to mineral directly.. I feel like there is nothing to do for first 2 minutes or so….. | ||

Most apt. comparison would be that SC2 was spoiled, like a little princess that gets everything she wants, and now she has no life skills and expects you to wait another 3 years for her to get ready and you're supposed to act like that's okay even tho she is just a generic, boring human being underneath with no depth and won't be worth the wait at all  Every month or so I check up on a few recent games of SC2 to see if anything is different, but it's always the same disappointment because its fans don't know what tough love is. | ||

Besides this fact, if you want to get better at any given game, you should be playing that game. If you're not gaining anything new from that process and you're not a bonjwa already, then you're doing something wrong, it's not the game at fault. It's far more effective to work on your training processes on that given game than escaping to the realm of another. OP neglects any of these negatives and hence makes a post of a half-value. It's still a pretty good one and far more valuable than most of the SC2 vs BW posts, good job. I'm still not convinced to actually go buy the game and play it, though. | ||

Thing is, Sc2 is a game that is very much still in its infancy. Unlike brood war which is 10 (11?) years old now, it hasn't had the time to be balanced, worked out and made more interesting to an extent. The game is still waiting two more expansions so who knows what will happen between now and then. So i feel that though the generally BW community should give it a chance, even though objectively BW may be a whole lot more fun to play.
