When will blizzard address how gimmicky sc2 is? HoTS better fix this game because as it stands, it is not a strategy game. Sc2 has slightly more depth than command and conquer. Before any Sc2 noobs start crying, realize this; you didn't play brood war and you have no right to disagree as you are totally unequipped to argue what I'm saying. You are fans of an inferior game. Satan aka as eric hirschberg squatted and shit out sc2. Unless blizzard throws out this turd, and starts from scratch than esports will never grow into anything permanent. Mark my words. Before some uninformed sc2 player filled to the brim with credit less opinions decides to defend his inferior hobby, go watch a Brood War VOD. The very movements of the units in that game are more beautiful than anything in its successor. In sc2 you just get to watch a clusterfuck of crap move out to fight each other, 1A. The entire world's standards have gone down considerably, just from the 90's. Mediocrity is a goal now, and sc2 is proof of this. If you disagree, well than you are wrong.

P.S. Day[9] must stop comparing sc2 to Chess. There is no similarity, chess is a strategy game. Even to make this comparison is insulting. I love Day but that must stop. Even brood war could not approach chess in depth, but at least it was beautiful in its own unique way.

P.P.S Forgive punctuation, this was written hastily and in a bad mood. My mood regardless, I stand by everything I wrote.
You know when you see a planet and you see that light, that planet isn't even there thats just a light, that's just your neighbor shining a flashlight into your backyard looking for coons.

I wanted to disagree but I'd be wrong, evidently.
