The games have been amazing. The main thing is the production, it's still lacking a lot that could be fixed so easily it's sad  | ||

I think the unit clumping and the fact that there's less micro-intensive unit like the colosseus in play it isnt as impactful. Also SC:BW had some terrible games as well. | ||

Personally, I like listening and learning how I can better understand an articulate as a player by how not to do it a lot of the time. | ||

The games have been amazing. Edit - Also nice to see the stream finished. Also I'm okay with the down time being just the team's current score and match ups (I'm tired of the "mind mind mind" we had yesterday >.>). Try not to worry so much about how many people are watching and how much attention It's getting and just enjoy it. We have our little community here on TL and that's enough for me. Last night there were 14.5k peak viewers on twitch for KHAN vs STX, It's not doing that poorly. | ||

It's also at an awful time for either Europeans or Americans depending on the match. The division of the market cannot be a good thing for viewership. | ||

In a couple of months things will get more stable but from now till maybe 3-4 months we're going to witness some amazing games. Even if they are full of mistakes, it's not because the players are bad but because everyone is still learning and exploiting that fact. Theres more to that IMO. The KeSPA map makers are more used to the gameplay of SC2 now. They know the adjustments and the kind of maps to make thus some amazing maps like Sanctuary and FS coming into play. The players are also used to the UI and the units abilities, save a few. So it's a combination of players developing new strategies for a relatively novel game and translating better as opposed to SC:BW to SC2: WoL. A great combination. | ||

I know there's obvious bias involved in this question and answer, but were there as many "bad" BW games as SC2? HotS has done an great job at improving the gameplay of SC2, so what you hear about BW > SC2 is BW > WoL. In BW, games do not end in one huge 15 second battle. When people see good games in SC2, they just watched a back and forth game. BW was a game that allowed for more back and forth and things are not as all-inny or committed as they are in SC2. That and mechanics alone can bring yourself back in a game. | ||

BW games were (in my opinion) generally more interesting compared to Wol games. Even the bad BW games were better than average WoL ones. Hydra bust was a zerg all in against protoss where you built Hydras and attacked, pretty much. Some BW zerg players were well known for only being able to Hydra bust against protoss. | ||
