To me, what was SC2 but just another cheap knockoff of the game that defined years of my life? The late nights staying up rooting for Bisu, Flash, and Jaedong in the OSL, the connection I felt to the players – I thought it could never be recreated. Uell, I was wrong. I love SC2. 1. Cooler units in SC2 -Kick-ass-ness: The Goliath may be a giant robot suit, which is cool and all, but come on guys – the Thor? Fucking giant robot gundam suit doesn’t give a fuck. Shit’s cash. Nothing beats Thors except more Thors. -Kick-ass-ness 2: Ultralisks actually look ultra in this game. Nice and fat. Not some deformed cow shit. -Interesting units: Banelings. They blow up. Not like Infested Terrans and Scourge, but they actually blow up instead of running around with dumbfuck AI and then get killed without doing anything. -Actual alien feel to Protoss: Colossus? Mothership? Void Ray? Shit’s straight out of War of the Worlds. The races have a much more unique and distinct identity in SC2, or at least Protoss does. Terran is same as always, OP as fuck. Zerg is meh. 2. New blood: We get a chance to see players from other ESPORTS like WC3 switch over, as well as a new generation of SC players. It keeps things fresh, and SC2 has a chance to be a truly global, long-living ESPORT. 3. “Terrible, terrible damage,” or, more memes and catchphrases: Now, memes are potentially a very bad thing when overused and abused, but in the case of SC2, it brings the community closer together. Day9’s Trumpets, Destiny’s stream antics, Idra (or should I say the Gracken?) rage, are just few of many examples of ways the community has bonded over seemingly banal events 4. Excitement(related to new blood) Let’s be honest – watching Broodwar get dominated by the same handful of Koreans repeatedly gets old. In SC2, we can see foreigners go toe to toe with Koreans, and taking their fair share of tournament wins. Instead of MC and MVP winning everything, we can see foreigners on foreign teams like Hero and Puma win tournaments too! Starcraft forever!!! | ||

Hey, guys, you don't have to diss BW so much. I'm so glad it's finally dead and we can move on to a game which actually has graphics, but it was actually an okay game for 1996. You aren't being serious, are you? A game that is a national sport in a country and probably has more popularity in one country alone than SC2 does in the world is dead? What am I seeing :S. | ||
