I honestly would say the ranking of those elements of gameplay differ greatly depending on what level of play you are at. It should be obvious to everyone but it's worth pointing out. For a beginner, interface management and resource management are the top priorities and are far more than most beginner or intermediate players can hope to handle, but as the level of play rises, these things become a given and most of the focus shifts to "thinking about your opponents strategy"; that is, guessing what your opponent will do and preparing a suitable strategy before the game. The higher the level of play, the more the focus shifts from basic mechanics to a sort of thinking game.

This is retarded. What's more important: units, plans, hotkeys, or management? The answer is you need all of these in every game! You can't win if you don't *ahem* recruit military units. You can't win if you don't have a plan. You can maximize utility without upgrades and hotkeys. And you can't do anything if you don't manage the dough.

Liken this to the human body:

What's more important? Nevous system? The brain? The heart? Thumbs?

Stupid. That that's with 5 O's.

That's not entirely true. Sometimes people leave the game if they scout a proxy (without you actually building units), lose a 12hatch to cannons, etc.

Just being difficult

shouldn't map control be in there somewhere....? or i guess you can argue that map control is multiple factors put together.

the arrangement of these components also depend on your race and strategy.

It took me several seconds to decide that running vs passing the ball wouldn't be a better way to make this analogy because I'm American and was thinking of a different sport
