You are only controlling one unit as opposed to RTS where you control an army as well as manage the economy. I am not saying Quake is easier, but it doesn't really fit the comparison to chess as much. Cos of controlling the map and items. You can deny area and build up more health/armor over your opponent the same way you can in starcraft. Keep an open mind and dont be one of those trolls in chat that dis every game they dont play. | ||

Reflexes and hand eye coordination is a small part of QL really, it's more about timing weapons and upgrades combined with map control and knowing where your opponents are going to be by outsmarting them. This is why some of the kills look absolutely outrageous...they just know where their opponents should be and they calculate their shots accordingly. It's quite something. | ||

G_G Foreigners should be thankful there was only 3 of them . i think besides those two there were drg AND genius but I get what you are saying, Hero and Puma may not be MVP or Nestea but they're still fucking good for korean standards. Nevertheless I think during the past month we could clearly see that the gap is slightly closing in and top foreigners ( Idra, Huk, Stephano) have legitimate shots at taking sets of off the koreans. ( Huk has basically proven it for months, I mean ever since He's been in code s. | ||

Awesome FPS. depends on ones opinion ^_^ i like both equally i must say. i wouldn't watch them as much as sc2, but i don't mind them being at big events. SF4 was over pretty fast and for that time i really liked it. and from my experience both are pretty damn hard to be good at, so that's a part of reason why i like them. | ||

Map and item control decision 4-5 steps in advance of your opponent while keeping item respawn timers in your head while moving at a thousand miles an hour and shooting..yeah it's like chess in a ferrari with the top down | ||
