The TL community has become primarily SC2 based. The TL community has grown VASTLY. The TL community has become much less experienced with many people having low-post counts. The TL community has become a lot shittier. The TL community has dropped to the level of flame wars. Take a good look at yourself. Good post OP. I think it really did show the elephant in the room. Just happened to be two. | ||

I think only a part is the time they invest in the practice. The quote by Min tells us the other part. Quality of practice is essential. Are you working towards certain goals? (e.g., 40 games on the same map) or do you just mindlessly play games for fun? | ||

This is just the best thread to vent that, and if you look through the thread, it's a pretty even division between people who take shits on this thread/argue with the OP while having no understanding of BW and people who agree with it. I think one of SC2's biggest advantages is the quality of it's fanbase compared to Brood War's. I've actually been trying to get back into Brood War, and every time I read a post like this I'm like "nope. Nothing for me here". | ||

It's about practicing efficiently, not so much about the sheer # of hours. The mechanics demanded by SC2 are less than SC:BW, so quite frankly thousands of hours aren't needed to really get them down. However, true analysis and a deeper understanding of matchups/maps are done by really trying/targeting different things while practicing. I think, at the moment, too much of sc2 is mass gaming as practice or maybe trying out very select build orders. Honestly, I think (and I posted about it earlier) the inclusion of a true SC2 ProLeague would be huuuuge for its development. When players have a better chance to be chosen and have more games to prepare for, they'll spend their time more wisely. At the moment, with so few tournaments available to the majority of players, most of their time is spent down twiddling their thumbs. edit: To extrapolate on my Proleague issue... BW actually has it down correctly, in my opinion. The foreigner scene actually has almost the opposite problem compared to the Korean scene. The sc2 scene for foreigners is almost an over-saturation of tournaments, so they spend so much time playing tournament games compared to legitimate practice it hampers them. In Korea, the opposite, there are so few games to prepare for that they don't spend their practice hours wisely. BW's balance, in comparison, is far superior when look at MSL/OSL/PL. | ||

Nick Diaz is the Strikeforce middleweight champion (mixed martial arts). He's just an average, B-level boxer. In fact, there aren't any MMA champions that have had success in high-level boxing! What a farce the competition must be in mixed martial arts! There are clearly hundreds of boxers that could switch to MMA and dominate shortly thereafter. What an utterly stupid line of thinking. Success in one sport, or in one game, does not automatically transfer over to another similar (but still quite different) sport or game. | ||

My pros are better than your pros... hence my game is better than your game. Lets draw a line in the sand and take sides and fight about it. Lets ignore the age of SC2... or the fact that its a different game... or the fact that bw pros make too much to be bothered changing games and proving the op right. I want BW pros in sc2. I want bw to die and sc2 to be balanced perfectly by blizzard so the whole world can join in unison to play the ultimate esport and have a true global champion! I want a global cup... that actually does decide the BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD. But until sc2 is more balanced and strats ironed out and learnt (look at the changes to the meta game/balance patches in the last year... its far from being finished... not to mention 2 expacs to come) and gains more popularity in korea, this dream will never happen. So for quite a few more years we will have these pointless dick waving posts and a divided community until either sc2 dies or bw gets eclipsed by sc2. Have to wait till after legacy of the void to see which happens. Patience children.... blizzard has much further to go before any real comparisons can be made. Why can't we all just enjoy the ride? | ||

I'm talking about Koreans, not foreigners. Foreigners have a different problems when it comes to practice. | ||

Apparently the SC2 community is not developed enough to take such awesome (and opinionated!) posts. I honestly do not see why people take it so personal. Be happy that someone has a different opinion than you and learn from it. It does not harm you one bit. Or at least, it should not. | ||

Bonus points for not making a list of popular strategies. | ||

I'm not talking about everyone, obviously, and there have been some stupid comments from the SC2 camp that warrant angry responses, but a lot of this thread is just... </3 | ||

MVP, the only A class player to transfer over is dominating pretty hard as well. If there was no solid relationship between SC1 and SC2, they wouldn't be winning nearly as much. . However, people like IdrA still lose (rarely) to people like Combat-EX, whereas in BW someone like combat-EX would never be able to touch IdrA in 100 games. | ||

BW has had the same players for so many years, it's only natural that the BW community was more mature and in general had more 'quality'. But quality is a dreadful word for that, I think maturity is a better word. But for SC2 to grow, the younger and more quantitative fanbase is needed oh so much. So in a way it is a double edged sword. Apparently the SC2 community is not developed enough to take such awesome (and opinionated!) posts. I honestly do not see why people take it so personal. Be happy that someone has a different opinion than you and learn from it. It does not harm you one bit. Or at least, it should not. i think talking down to sc2 players isnt mature or showing quality at all... | ||

Why would this be flaming? It's simply a different opinion, and an interesting one that makes a (good) point. | ||
