I definitely see your point and for the most part of my sc2 experience I have had the same opinions on the matter and still do to a point. I don't know if I'm just kinda irritated tonight or whatever but that phrase "Best player in the world" is brought up so often by them specifically and most of the time they're saying it about a player who is clearly not the best in the world... It's just annoying to hear it now. Looking back to BW and the great fun part of watching it were the stories behind the matches and what not, that is something that I personally think is severely lacking in the sc2 scene making it just not as fun to watch. I think it would add to the viewing experience if the title of Best player in the world was rarely attributed to a player. So when you hear "X player is the best in the world" it actually means something, like "wow this player has done this and this and won this many tournys in a short amount of time they really do deserve to be called the best, they worked for it" ~ I want to be able to say that when I hear that phrase, it should be prestigious in the SC2 scene... you can only have one #1 best player. Flash was the best player Jaedong was the best zerg Those players truly deserved a title like that, but it just wouldn't mean anything if you would hear casters saying other zergs or just other players in general are the best in the world or their respective races just because they happened to end up winning one tournament. TL;DR I think it would add a lot to the viewing experience if the community/casters would actually hold the title of 'Best player in the world' in high regard only given to a player that truly deserves it and has shown that they are the best over a longer period of time... like re-evaluating who the best are at the end of the year, once a year. Right now they toss around best in the world titles like it means nothing, like just throwing candy into a crowd of kids or something. Give me more of a storyline. Sorry for typing so much... Adderall blues. I see what you mean and because you were a BW follower hearing the title get tossed around must be frustrating because none of the current "best in the world" were even close to the dominance that Flash or JD had. But using the title is a great way to build hype for a match so I can forgive them for that. I long for the day that starcraft 2 gets fully figured out and the great players rise to the very top and truly earn the best player in the world spot beyond dispute. | ||

There's a lot micro (and positioning) that can really raise the skill cap higher than people think. (yes, sc2 has different mechanical skill preference than either BW or WC3, wow) Unfortunaltely this kind of micro in protoss race is not really APM effcicient imo. Of course there is also some very APM efficient micro in protoss too, but in less cases than terrans/zergs. | ||
