EPTBW will continue to thrive for a while still. There's no need to feel so threatened that you have to leveraging pathetic insults against its main competition.

i am really curious what make people think that sc2 need less mechanics than bw? i mean in bw you didnt have larva inject, creep spread , mules, crono and so on. also the resource managment is quite the same. army control too. | ||

You say SC2 is dumbed down, well mechanics are way easier, thats for sure, but game itself is not ''dumber'' in any way. Yes BW is terrific and I too follow it, but Sc2 has awesome international scene, nothing bw will ever have mostly due to the mechanics. Also basing it on at the moment low level pro (lets be real) bw switchover player losing in a single game to I dont know how much practiced player (probably more than Nada)... The game is dumbed down. the strategies aren't. The mechanics are the only real significant change from BW to SC2, and the'yre what sepereted the pros from the semi pros. now that it's so much easier i dont see whats going to seperate them. I think SC2 could have had the scene it has with more difficult mechanics as well.

And im not actually sure players got that much better, Blizzard jsut kept patching the game and modling it into the more macro heavy game it is now. | ||

Tomorrow hwaiting!

I think this is especially because of multiple building selection and army selection. If you have a ton of hatches, or gateways, you have to click every single one, in SC2 you don't even have to look at your base to build them, just use hotkeys. Also the unit pathfinding is much better in SC2. Dragoons need a lot of micro, especially when they try to go through small ramps. | ||

So it's harder because of flawed and outdated mechanics? Ok, I'll take the easier game that isn't harder for the sake of being harder at this point. | ||

Actually people are pointing it out all the time. Even a player like me that has never played BW understands the "BW trolls" as you put it. The simplifying of the game mechanics is making it harder to differentiate yourself at the top, aka it takes more "physical/mechanical skill" to play BW. Not that I agree or anything since I haven't even played BW but just sayin... | ||

Great day for the Foreigner team! But the 4 players they played were the 4 worst on the international team. I'm still not sure whose going to take games off of NesTea and MVP, let alone Min Chul. It should be extremely interesting. :-) | ||

If the game is easier its easier for everyone to get good, if that's easier then the skill ceiling is lower and the difference between the best players isnt as big, how is that not logical? smartcasts are that you can select all your templars and click the hotkey for storm, then choose a target and storm only once. if you did that in BW all your templars would cast onto that spot. So you have to control each one individiually. overkill is when more units attack than are needed to kill the enemy. for example if you run a zealot against a tank line in SC2 enough tanks to kill the zealot will shoot while the rest dont. in BW they would all shoot and you could run the rest of your units in while the tanks were on "cooldown" | ||

A human being is only capable of so many tasks at a time. In BW, you correctly pointed out a number of important mechanics that players have to focus on, skill-sets which aren't necessary in SC2. So here's a thought, doesn't that just leave room for other skill-sets to develop? What I'm getting at, is let's just say the "skill ceiling," the maximum amount of tasks anyone is capable of handling is 400 actions per minute. In BW, you hit your skill ceiling managing these mechanics. In SC2, people will hit it managing other mechanics UNLESS there is no way, mechanically, to play better. Is that honestly what you're arguing? I'd certainly accept that the skill ceiling for mechanical play is lower in SC2...if you're only talking about base management, but micro? There is absolutely no limit to how much room there is for unit control to improve IN EITHER GAME, but there is a limit to how much a person can physically do. If players are using their hands less for the mechanics you listed, they're just going to find other ways to improve. There's simply no reason why this cannot be the case, and THAT is a fact. BW does inherently take more skill to be a top level player; it requires DIFFERENT skills. | ||
