Uh, why in War3 don't we see proxy buildings?
Also the only people I know that have played at a high-level (top foreign) are Wizard (P/NE player from the US) and Elky (we all know him). You do. In fact you see proxy-shops in at least a quarter of matches by Korean Orc or NE. Other buildings are too expensive to afford to lose, so are only proxied if you are doing a tower rush. Also, Insomnia (who recently retired) played SC at a high level before. Insomnia might be more known to some as Mr[X] (I think the X was in brackets?). Bulgarian zerg player, and if you go to http://www.battlereports.com you can find some totally sweet battlereports by Breeze (who posts/used to post here, now posts on liquidpoker.net) featuring him. Tonnes of old school nostalgia.. Mr[X] vs Intotherain from KBK (I believe), a multiparter vs Whear (I think that's how you spell it, US terran).. Ah good stuff =]
I recall a replay with MrX vs ElkY (?) TvP replay where the terran got manner pyloned twice on LT 6 o'clock and then the toss built gateways. There was some really cool rine micro but the protoss won later on with proxy robo-bay.
I think X was T and elky P (but that would mean that they were both off-racing). Anyone recall this? Just as a fun fact, not trying to steal thread, but it was one of the coolest replays ever.

That's true I guess. My argument is done with. It all was just a misunderstanding it seems anyhow. Thread doesn't have to "stop".

Blizzard themselves have said that they aimed to make warcraft more micro intensive and less focused on macro, thus the 100 food cap and the upkeeps. I personally like wc3 but thats because idont have the patience to learn the intense macro skills sc requires.

If you look at youtube Starcraft vods gets so many more views than warcraft 3 ones Isn't it because W3 players can watch replays while SC obviously can't?
Both games give you the option to watch a replay if you wanted.
And btw starcraft got this first.
I am guessing that you have never played StarCraft in your life.

He means that SC leagues dont release their replays, while the WC3 ones do.

The sad part is that while it used to be true. Used to be. Nowadays, sadly, WC3 is the more fast paced game. The SC BW game these days doesnt even start till 7 minutes into the game, when the uncheesable macro monsters has set up 2 expos and massed to half the limit. Gone are the times of the Boxer and the Ra, and we have an army of clones fast expanding, whether they be zerg, protoss or terran.

The worst part about warcraft is items. You don't know which player has the cool items for his hero, or you just forget. Then in a battle, player x pulls out staff of pwnage and player y loses two grunts and runs away. Ok... that was anti-climatic, I was expecting a fucking battle. It is also too easy to run away in Warcraft 3. In Starcraft with the units having lower hit-points if you really have to run away you have to do it with skill, timing and prepare for it. In warcraft you throw a slowing spell and right click away.

He should have said it more clearly.
