To some extent this is happening but both sides are doing it and neither side has a skill advantage. That said going to GSL to compete would still be alot of fun and worthwhile especially fighting to keep your Code S salary. But its simply not the "best" in alot of respects and most people don't expect these players to dominate tournaments they enter anymore either. | ||

But the way he explains it better unit control can increase the effectiveness of you units by multipliers of like 3-9x eg. good muta control can increase their effectiveness by 9x. Where as in SC2 good unit control can maybe increase the effectiveness by mabye 1.5x. He says that is why it is so much harder. He goes on to explain that blizzards only way to make the game harder is to make maps and things bigger or give more reasons to target fire and such ( I didn't really understand that part that well). Any ways if you enjoy playing/watching SC2 thats good but it should become issue if its "hard enough" because the skill ceiling has not been hit yet. I doubt most people favor a real sport eg. soccer, baseball, basket ball because they believe it is the harder sport. In BW you actually MICRO ur units so they take down the biggest threat to give you a advantage during battle Snipe shuttle, reaver, defiler, science vessels, arbiters, lukers, tanks, HT can change the entire battle. In SC2 deathball kill smaller deathball. GG The last part is a joke of course well.... maybe 30% true.... | ||

But its simply not the "best" in alot of respects and most people don't expect these players to dominate tournaments they enter anymore either. They did not own because they were able to hide their exact play. Flash and Jaedong practiced the most. Came up with new builds for map/MU/player specific scenarios to gain advantages in BOX series. They continuously had the best mechanics between micro and macro. This means they had the best mental and physical gameplay as well as the best mindset for winning a BOX series. They didn't hide their bread and butter because once there is a VOD of flash's double armory build someone can work and come to a pretty decent build order from that information. If your scenario was true and all it took was replays to be a winner how come their teammates weren't nearly as good as them? They had the access to replays. If that is all it takes then every KT Terran would dominate as well as every OZ Zerg. | ||

To sumarize the whole argument here, we have a game, bw, wich is fine and all and people start playing it at a super hight level. Out of all the guys that play the game, just a few are very very good at it, other are average, others are plain bad. Now, the average and bad portion of that game move to another game, similar but at the same time, very different. The argument here is, the competition of this new game is a farce because it has been proven in the other game that there are alot of players alot better than these guys. The counter argument is that, the other game is diferent enought so the results on the old game would not translate in the same relation of power in the new game. Until now, the only thing we don't really know is if the rankings in the old game would be exactly the same. That is to say, is there a certain skill that is not needed in broodwar but is crucial enought in sc2 to make the bw mediocre become the sc2 gods. So yeah, that's the discution, arguing about if clicking minerals is an interesting game design is not really relevant, neither is if watching 2 balls of death colide. | ||

The people that have won in SC2 already are the best of the BW players that switched over. Hiding their playstyles? Wtf they train with eachother...How are you going to hide replays from people that train with your teammates? Maybe you can for a couple days or weeks but 2-3 years? Wtf Honestly you've got to try harder than that. I understand you might be making these claims because you're a proffesional player in SC2 with little to no sucess but come on... | ||

Well that must suck for all those pro's that talk about deathballs, guess they better learn to play. And 500 apm to control a unit is a gross exaggeration. There is no unit that even requires close to that in either of the games. It's controlling multiple units at once that leads to the high APM. | ||

Or maybe it's because they practiced a ton and were the most naturally talented out of a huge pool of potential players. Sure, having access to the best players ever must have helped but even the lowliest B-teamer practiced full time for years and even harder after becoming a pro-gamer. How many foreigners practiced more than 50 hours a week for at least 6 month in Broodwar? It's a testament to Tyler's and Ret's talent and dedication that they came close to getting a licence. But if they had become programers they would have started as practice partners to the practice partners of these players. | ||

And if your argument is that pros should fight the dumb AI/Pathfinding to do so.... well that kinda goes against your hatred for actually having to control units doesn't it? Not to mention that mutastacking and Jangbi storms are actually fun and satisfying to execute (and to watch), meanwhile fighting the dumb AI to prevent your marines from trying to turn into a human boulder is not. | ||
