Your points 2) and 3) I feel are somewhat valid. But SC2 seems to be improving on both fronts as time goes by as well. The rather boring no action into 200vs200 army battle-style games are much less common now. The overall easier macro in SC2 and the higher rate of unit production/larger armies probably reduce the effects of micro of individual units. The make the overall army positioning extremely important though, and don't away from the fact that high APM will increase your skill and the effectiveness of your army. | ||

If you are looking for exciting play I definitely agree that you should check TvT and TvZ. Those are the only matchups that have some sort of positional play due to Siege Tanks being still relevant in those matchups. Just try to ignore Marauders  | ||

IPL is about to have a bunch of tvts though in the next couple hours. maybe they will be good. | ||

I saw that, and it reminded me of super late game TvT in BW. The sort of game that rarely comes up, and is only entertaining to watch because it is so rare. On April 09 2012 05:28 antiRW wrote: Many people have said it already, but as someone who previously watched and played SC:BW and now watches and plays SC2, I have to stress that I think your first point, "lack of strategy", is simply not true. It might have been more true months ago, when the game seemed to be a lot more rock-paper-scissors-based and strategies as well as game understanding was not as developed. I am not really sure how to convince you on this point thought. But as an example, take your description of the recent Fantasy vs Flash game. You will find similar early push into containment into timely retread vs tech into map positioning etc. scenarios in many high level TvTs, PvPs and to some extent in PvTs. One thing that (I think) is really still lacking in SC2 is commentators pointing out these things correctly. Some do a good job at this, but many will not commentate on the crucial strategic decisions happening in the background. I often find myself thinking and/or appreciating things that I would not understand if i was not playing the game myself. Your points 2) and 3) I feel are somewhat valid.

The make the overall army positioning extremely important though, and don't away from the fact that high APM will increase your skill and the effectiveness of your army. Again, if you think it's untrue, i would appreciate VODS. Remember, i want to be wrong. | ||

I think bio mech has been available for bw but it is rarely used in TvT although  Sea pulled these bio mech strategy really well and I really wish all bw TvT games would incorporate bio and mech together despite tanks being pretty good at what they do . | ||
