How can you say what is better when SC2 is not here even an year ? BW is a big boy, now we have to take care about his sister SC2 to have a beautiful family. God i hate when someone doesnt give a chance to something and is narrow minded. lets see where SC2 will be in 2-3 years. Even BW needed time to became our sweetie. and BW needed a lot of time too.


idc if sc2 is better to some people, if BW is better to some people, or you have no opinion, but I'm getting sick of these posts more than anything.

just saying, this is my opinion (and the opinion of a few others). SC2 rode on the success of BW. after seven to ten years, brood war became the most structured e-Sports (clarify me if I'm wrong). then blizzard announced SC2. OBVIOUSLY people believed sc2 would be the shit, the successor to BW, etc. TBH, broodwar was fun to watch even in '00 (yes, I watched bw since I was 6 -__-). with the success of bw riding on SC2's shoulders, no wonder people are disappointed at SC2's quality right now.

maybe it is the money, maybe it is the fact that all ins are too powerful right now, but some people can't really agree with the way SC2 is heading right now. why don't YOU stop being "narrow-minded" and actually realize what some of our opinions are. many of us bw advocates, including me, have TRIED and watched sc2. guess what? we didn't like it.

disclaimer : the only reason i don't like sc2 is because the core units are too... slow...

Y/Y/Y

A game catered to casuals specifically for corporate profit will never reach the same height BW once did.

But I'm ashamed to admit, because all of my friends who used to only play stuff like dota now play sc2, I definitely stopped BW in favor of 2v2/3v3/4v4 in sc2...

Accessibility and popularity.. just killer man.

Why are people so insistent in proving BW was better?

First of all it doesn't matter, BW is on it's way out and SC2 is looking to fill the void and hopefully some eSports importance around the world.

Secondly, why do people expect the same depth in a new game as a 12 year old game has? The game is still being figured out, patches still change gameplay on a monthly basis and that's not even considering the two expansions that are on their way. There isn't even standard builds yet.


First of all, it matters a lot because BW wouldn't be on it's way out of people like you just realized that it's stupid to throw away the better game.

Secondly, this is probably the dumbest, and most common statement on teamliquid. In fact, you probably already know how I will respond to this because literally almost every sc2 thread has this argument over and over again

Do high prizes in tennis make people do 'boring' things like focusing on serving aces all day?
Well, some people do; but only because that's what they're naturally good at.
If the best strategy for winning is to do something really stupid, it's a problem with the medium of competition, not the prize. Federer and Nadal are racking up the millions, not whoever that Slavic guy was that served a billion miles per hour.

I wish there was a way to give negative stars.

1) No for the first because i dont have a strong intent to get better, but to have fun. and by all means is BW more fun than SC2.
2) I joined pretty late but i had a passion to play melee like a real korean!
3) PROBLEM WITH SC2 -> its not as fun..
