I like how this thread turned around. ^_^

wow that wgtour korea dream team thread. Filled with so many old-school names; ssamJang, Love, SONJJANG, TheMarine, pre-God of War Julyzerg, Enough <-- (*-_-) on this guy though sigh.

Enough vs intotherain are some of the best classical pvz games ever (on LT).

Interestingly enough, IntoTheRain was on ShieldBattery last night and played some games with us. Played 1v1 vs bioboyAT and we played some 3v3 on Hunters. Was a lot of fun, he seemed to enjoy himself.

Whaaaat ? No way !!

Actually nvm, I was mistaken. It was IntoTheRainbow, not IntoTheRain ^^.

This is for SC2, but a lot of the concepts still apply to Brood War.



You can also check out his BW podcasts, which are spectacular in terms of strategic thinking:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/bw-strategy/89581-day-podcasts-e14-tvz-on-heartbreak-ridge

I definitely plan on making some educational content for BW in the near future .

So, I keep hearing people making sports analogies and they always just seem like not the best.

He was close with football. What he wanted to say was football with no hitting: "contact and tackling are archaic and outdated, the game has developed past that and they should implement a system of tagging for blocking and tackling so that teams can focus on the strategy of blocking schemes and play design."

Soccer and hand usage: "Not using your hands in soccer is unintuitive and awkward. Learning to use only your feet takes away from setting up plays and passing and strategy. They should just allow using your hands."

Basketball and dribbling: "Dribbling is just a mindless, repetitive action that takes away from passing and picks and plays. They should just get rid of it."

Baseball without pitching: "hitting a 90mph ball is too hard and games full of strikeouts are too boring, we should all use tees so that we can focus on the strategy of where to hit the ball."

None of these sports would be improved by these suggestions, they would all be turned into completely different games (some of which, actually already exist). Likewise, unlimited control groups and multi-building selection would not improve Brood War, they would change it into a different game.

These are better sports analogies, I think. Being a sportsball type of a guy, hearing people use analogies that are not as good kind of just bothers me. Not like it is really important, though, but I already typed all this and at least somebody reading it will me me feel better and that is what is really important, right?

Best analogy is traction control in F1. They are happy they got rid of it.


As for sports analogies, when a person starts playing SC BW, they want to be able to easily approach a level of play comparable to Flash or Bisu, so they won't completely suck at playing the game at a progamer level. That is what I see people say about SC Remastered and why they don't want to play it.
But when a person starts to play soccer, they have no expectations of being able to play the game in a similar way to Messi or Ronaldo.

This I find extremely odd. You can just move the mouse and build some units in the pace you would like to play at. The game is easy to learn. In the same way, you can be given a ball and play soccer with your friends any way you like.

But for gaming it has to be made easier, through the interface, to control just as many things at the same time as a progamer, so your play isn't filled with obvious flaws. You as an amateur must somehow be able to put up a fight when you are playing vs a top player. Otherwise, the game is 'too hard'. No one makes that argument for soccer, or for chess, or for anything else. It is just video gamers saying this.

Probably related to how in computer games, it's actually possible to influence the interface. I'm sure a lot of kids who play football would like to be able to shoot, pass and control the ball flawlessly without practicing for thousands of hours.

It does not mean we should indulge them, of course. Removing skill required to execute something means that it's no longer amazing when the execution is flawless. If every free kick was perfectly curved into the top corner, it'd stop being impressive really fast.

But the possibility of rebinding hotkeys does not constitute a significant simplification of the game. People are gonna move their m to a and p to e and make a couple other adjustments, and it's gonna make some elements of macroing slightly easier. It's not gonna significantly alter skill relations, at all. There's still gonna be more than enough things to do that nobody is able to do them all, it does not significantly alter balance in any way, it just makes it easier for people who haven't ever played the game, or who quit 17 years ago, to pick it up again.

Arguments regarding skill differentiation etc are super valid for why we can't have multiple building selection or unit groups bigger than 12 or smartcasting or smarter unit movement. But hotkey rebinding is not an issue that is like that.

Glad he's coming back, but how big is the hype for SCR exactly? From what I've seen the majority of people who are excited about it are closely tied to the sc community. Just trying to get a feel for his audience.

Yes:


New BW videos will be coming in ~2 weeks time. The focus of the new series will be "Zero to hero" - learning how to play BW properly if you've never really tried before.

Source


"Let's Learn Starcraft" will be a ~3 months series of videos to help bring players from an "I know nothing" level of BW to an expert level. They should be starting in ~2 weeks (I'm recording clips for the series that I'll talk over to keep the pace good, and those are taking more time than I'd expected, so I delayed it 1 week longer than I had said on the SC:R stream).

Source

He made these posts about a week ago, so one week from now is when we should expect to see this series kick off.

edit: added quotes and another source

That APM/Micro video was really solid.. Thankfully, I've instinctively did most of the things mentioned in his video somehow naturally - But that video explains so much, It should be manditory for all new players.

I truly believe if stronger players make good tutorial videos and we get more tournaments, BW can have a decent revival. No, we'll never get any RTS to the popularity of LoL, Overwatch or Dota, but I think we can maintain a respectable viewership/eSports scene - maybe even develope the "difficulity" into a positive, some people love a challenge and being good at the hardest eSports game ever should be a benefit, not a drawback. We need local offline tournaments (regional qualifiers) and more positive figureheads in the community making content, rather than how the current "top" SC2's content creators are more trolls than serious players (avilo, winter, protech, nathanias).. We need Day9, Incontrol, Artosis type content created (PiG is doing a decent job, but thats it IMO)

Day[9] just made a post on r/Starcraft about the upcoming show. I'll repost it here with TL formatting. I asked him if he's going to make a thread on TL. If he replies with a negative, I'll make a post about this in BW General.



Ahoy /r/Starcraft!

As many of you know, I am over the moon happy that StarCraft: Remastered has released. I grew up playing StarCraft as basically the only thing I did, and now I’m once again BGHing and 1v1ing away! Loads of people are revisiting StarCraft (or even trying for the first time) and, as many reddit posts have noted, the gameplay of the original StarCraft can be a bit daunting.

So, for the next several months, I’m going to be doing a twice weekly show called Let’s Learn Starcraft! The purpose is to help bring someone from “zero to hero,” from someone who knows little to nothing about StarCraft to someone who can enjoy the game as a regular player and watcher of competitive SC:R.

StarCraft is a true challenge, but once you’ve learned enough, the simple act of playing StarCraft feels so good whether you win or lose. I sincerely hope this series can help showcase the joy and beauty of StarCraft
