shit looks like blizz is actually going the right direction here and doing a good job. hope has been revived.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

I really don't want to start an MBS debate here, but what Blizzard wants to do is have an even balance between the micro and macro so that either play style can be effective. they don't want a game that can be dominated by just Micro or Macro but one where both have their places to shine.


I think macro is more about, when/where to expand, what units to produce from how many factories and eventually where else to spend the money. The MBS is less related to macro IMHO. The MBS would just help to redirect the APM to other places, and I think it would be good. It's like having ctrl+1, 2..9 for units. Without controls, the player would just need much more APM to do the same things.

Now, making easier for player to deliver its decisions to the computer is a good thing, because it increases the entertainment. Also it helps discover the imba places in the game much faster.

It's not good when you make it too easy by taking away the need for high APM and make the entire game completely micro-oriented. That's not good, because that's Warcraft. Starcraft is all about balance between the two (micro and macro).

Making the game easier to handle doesn't make it more entertaining.

I hope SC2 won't become a FIASCO, like SC Ghost... estoy cruzando los dedos para que no sea asi... at for now it's looking good, but not an total exit!! pero eso es lo que yo pienso...!!

technically yes, macro is not just the mechanic part; however handspeed should still have to be insufficient to do both macro and micro except at the highest levels.

It's not hard speed. It's mental speed.

A pianist or super typist doesn't play with 220 APM. And someone who does isn't also a great pianist or typist, etc.

David Kim replaced Pillars. He's Korean. I posted his real (korean) name here once and an article he wrote about balancing and the role of top players in this.

I think he was an amateur in a clan with a few people who later became progamers.

as long as the game is balanced as bw was then im perfectly fine. I hope that buildings can block. I hated how warcraft 3 the buildigns are circular so you cannot block only perform some type of crappy funnel. that was alot of strategy gone there i hope sc2 wont make the same mistake...
