While the answer may be incredibly clear and obvious, let's propose our THEORIES! | ||

poker isnt something that u can guarantee to succeed in but tbh if uve been a progamer in sc2 or wc3 scbw w/e i think u have talent and practice enough to make it. the games r almost the same in theory and i dont see a better way to prepare a career of poker than to practice strategy games like this when ur a kid while ur in school. obviously this sounds hilarious to most ppl but this is what i think is true :p | ||

I can't wait to see the builds/strata that unfold in pro matches for sc2. At least go back and edit your post... | ||

You like competition or you don't I think SC1 dying is fine since SC2 will prob be huge, I mean even when I got 2nd in wcg can in 2005 it was starting to die, the foreign scene was fading away, and I don't give a flying shit about koreans, take out koreans from broodwar, and the game is pretty much dead | ||

Why not compare CS:S and CS 1.6 with SC:BW and SC2? Because CS:S was a piece of shit from the release. It had good graphics and some solid game engine, but everything else was a fail, from esports perspective. i know Arqon (from Q3 promode) was working on a mode that would work give the game back "the feel", while SC2 already has it. Blizzard gives a damn. It's evolution, baby. | ||

But where SC is different from poker is that you can constantly learn and become better in more realistic terms game by game where as poker being based on probability is not a game where you can force a win through shear skill and determination game by game; as luck dictates your hand(in poker) not your hand dictating your luck(in SC). | ||

While the answer may be incredibly clear and obvious, let's propose our THEORIES! Hahahhaha oh lol anyways, big tournaments will turn to SC2 if the game is good. And I see no way for it to become a bad game given how the Beta is coming... also coupled with Blizzard's support + 2 planned expansions, this game will be awesome. SC1 will still survive in smaller hardcore circles though, and may even get a fair amount of Retro champs if the international progaming scene evolves. It seems to me that the two games are way too vastly different to be compared in the "superior" and "inferior" sense. | ||
