Very good article but I disagree on SC2 part

Blizzard is not the same company it was 10 years ago, they aim to please casuals and attract a lot of players now so SC2 will be much easier to master and less challenging

SC2 will never match Brood War as far as level of play required to be on top in my opinion, but it will make them more money which is sadly what this is all about

This makes me really sad...
Anyways - great article!
Bisu[about JD]=I was scared (laughs). The force emanating from his facial expression was so manly that I was even a little jealous.

Wonderful writeup. It's a good analysis of the overall shift in SC skill level over time, coupled with references to other sports and the imminent SC2 release. If only everyone in those awful "which of SC and SC2 will prevail?" threads could write like this, I might have kept reading past the first couple posts.

Again, well done.
Unashamedly nerdy.

>: The only way to save BroodWar is tradition, and it's not been around long enough for that to seep in.

Why is this in Final Edit again? How can this post possibly be awesomer??

And if you want to compare someone in cricket to Flash, look no further than Virender Sehwag. The man scores triple centuries easier than Don Bradman did in his prime. And seemingly nothing can be done to stop him going on a streak.

Very eloquently written. My only complaint is that you probably should have used a sport with a greater world-wide following, so that readers could understand your analogies and metaphors better. I myself have no idea what playing Cricket entails. You mentioned Soccer/Football a few times; maybe that should have been your major sports focus.

Great article! The way you wrap it all up is especially poignant! But I wonder, how do athletes like Tiger Woods or Kobe Bryant fit into your starting assumption that "bonjwa's" are becoming harder and harder to find?
