I'd do the same in his position probably if that job was my only source of income and if I had a lot riding on SC2's potential for global success, if SC2 is a massive hit in esports he's one of the people who's best-positioned to get a job in the opinion/commentary side of things with his experience as a gamer and in Korea and his camera time, so it'd just be stupid for him to ever say anything negative about SC2.

It's just really unfortunate because he truly does have a great RTS mind and his true opinion is something that I actually would be very interested in hearing, but I definitely haven't read it anywhere yet.

actually, i've jumped around to MANY rts games in the past, played them massively, and said 'this game isn't very good compared to SC due to X, Y and Z. but i hope it gets big so i can win money!'

i take it you haven't played sc1 competitively for 11 years like me. SC2 at this stage in its life is so amazing compared to SC1 at the same age.

also, the macro and micro still exist, people saying they don't should be #1 in their platinum leagues cuz the game is so ez amirite?

What I want to know is why you betrayed the entire human race by turning your back on Terran. Especially to zerg since you lead the crusade against inject larva in the first few weeks of beta

Nice read artosis. Would love to hear a more detailed explanation on why you think zerg has the highest skill ceiling.

why do so many guys think it is cool to complain about how sc2 is so much worse than sc1???
If it is too easy why aren't you #1? If it is not fun why are so many watching the streams or why are now alomost 100.000 (30000 on each server) beta testers online?
If it is not balanced enough why are all the matchup statistics almost 50:50?

For all people who do not like SC2 there is also a Broodwar Forum on this site...
Yes we can complain about certain aspects that can be improved on SC2 but i if you think it is just a shitty game just stay away from it!

i find posts like the 2 from kentucky, where he complains that artosis does not hate sc2 enough, just embarrassing...

sc2 IS easy imo and it is a LOT worse than sc1, but compared to other RTS it isn't that bad.

It's only fun cuz it's new and exciting cuz so many people are on (for those 100.000 I suppose)....the latency is crap, b.net #2 is crap, the ladder system is crap, the seperation is crap.... so many things involving actual gameplay, but latency and server based lag is biggest annoyance, game is very unresponsive compared to sc1 iccup/hamachi/lan.

esports/the SC name and SC1's history as a constantly evolving game is enough to save sc2 anyway and with enough patching it might turn into something ~ who knows.

thats alot of insult to the succesor of a game youve played for what, 10 years? TT_TT
