The burden then is laid on us, the players.

I think SC2 will remove a lot of the newbs/hackers from BW - that has to be a good thing!

This is a critical point

My play skills are very very bad (I was too old when brood war came out) however that dosent mean I cant enjoy watching the game.. and SC2 is better to watch than BW, and will make better TV.

I can't watch SC2 streams at all. Neither I can watch any tournaments they make. Really simple, its friggin booring. Seriously at this moment(maybe not in future of prosports in SC2) all I've seen is bashing the wall tactics. Make army composition (1-2-3 units of type usually), bash them to opponent, cross fingers for GG.

Thats not entertaining, and fairly intresting in competitive point. There is few fancy micro rushes(also some call them cheeses), but thats about it.

I really hope SC2 can introduce something new to the board, maybe new maps that bring diversity or new "must" micro, to give it "who is doing something right" factor. When I just see 2 masses of armys clashing and other GG, it gets boring in the long run.

Another aspect that is lacking severly is in Terran matchup where stationary battles and slowpushes make entertaining games, In SC2 its just too slow to keep up with anything.

As singleplayer game its overachieving and really fun game. Multiplayer esport game that is broadcasted, just "no". Let's wait till few expansions are up and we get to see more... maybe then (big maybe).

Oh, so BW is more entertaining to watch? For example the Flash vs Jaedong games where the whole "action" of every game was whether Flash was going to successfully wall off his fast expo and defend it against 5 hydras? Come on, seriously. Also, the fact that you call SC2 "too slow" tells me that you've probably never played it.

So everyone who says that SC2 is boring to watch has never played the game or just hate the world or blah blah?, for me SC2 is a hell of boring game to watch and I got the game, I even got a new pc in order to play it, but you are only a fanboy who just wants to criticize the people because it is free on the internet.

I like SC2 because it's so much smoother. My drones don't glitch out when I try to pull them out of the mineral line or when they try to build hatcheries. I actually like MBS and infinite select and automine because I can focus my attention on cutesy stuff that I wasn't able to do in BW. That said, SC2 still doesn't (yet) have the strategic depth of BW, but I don't think I'll be going back as long as the SC2 competitive scene remains alive.

I also fit in the ''watching SC2 is boring to watch'' category. Even playing it after a few weeks was getting boring (and no, not because I got crushed).

I think the main problem with SC2 right now, not mentionning Battle.net 2.0, is the lack of oh shit units. Units like vultures, reavers, lurkers, defilers, spectacular units that can turn the tide of the game in just a few seconds.

In SC2, I can think of Banelings in this category, maybe hellions... that's about it. Last time I watched games, Reapers, DTs were semi-viable, High Templars lost the ''one storm wonder'' aspect of the show, it seems all about armies clashing into another, it feels repetitive.

I still have a lot of faith in Blizzard and I'm sure expansions will fix most of our complaints, but for now, I couldnt care less about SC2 and it's competitive scene.
