So, for all the people fortunate to be in th beta, does SC2 play close to SC1? Specifically, would you say SC2 plays like SC1 but micro and hotkeys are improved in all aspects?

Do you think the Pros will transition rather fluently to SC2?

The game seems faster than SC1 from what I've seen so far. That is referring to unit movement speeds, at least.

it'll be funny to see all the war3 players dominating the top 20 US ladder spots in afew weeks. Bank on it. At least 90%.

Its the WOW players playing right now that sucks, its no question the War3 players are probably owning SC/BW players right now.

They will be, regardless. In general, skill at Starcraft has translated well into other RTSs, and I don't see why this should be any different.

why do you say that?

edit: Everything I've seen, from the mass units to minimal micro style play indicates that SC players will be better at first. After that, we're SC2 players not WC3 or SC players

Ive only played 3 games so far. Its really fast paced. The tech and start up is MUCH MUCH faster than sc1 and the gameplay/battles looks about the same speed but I am not entirely sure.
