Were you bored of ZvT in BW because every game was MM + Tank or Vessel with the zerg trying to counter it? | ||

Something like you need a factory to build them? If Terran just has marines/reapers early roach could be a HUGE problem. Early stalker push would also be very strong since they kite marines very well | ||

So just to set the record straight, I started watching both games around the same time. In my opinion, BW is way more fun to watch. There are some good reasons, too- I love the massive amounts of action that goes on in BW- you generally have skirmishes going on EVERYWHERE with massive amounts of expos, as opposed to SC2 where you may get 2 or 3 expos and you have 1 core army and then a small group of harassers, or something of the sort. I could go into it in more , but basically, I like how BW has players using their army everywhere, rather than in one giant ball marching towards the opponent at certain periods in the game. I think SC2 might develop to the point to where it's more entertaining to watch- I hope so, at least. Until then, I watch SC2 purely to improve my skill level. | ||

I do think watching reapers in every ZvT is boring, but even still it's an awesome watch :3 | ||

I was bored of Brood War in general because I got so pissed of every time a Terran ruined a great match-up by going mech. It's truly what made me quit BW, man it pissed me of when I saw that early gas. Good bye entertainment, hello torment! So I guess I'm trying to say that variation is overrated, entertaining unit combinations is more important. Micro and macro in Starcraft 2 is far too easy to have the wow-factor of Brood War though. Have you guys seen how slowly CellaWerra plays? And he's doing great! I enjoy watching Starcraft 2 but its success as an e-sport will rely more on its popularity among casual gamers than on its qualities as a competitive game. | ||

Were you bored of ZvT in BW because every game was MM + Tank or Vessel with the zerg trying to counter it? well, bw is amazing because the game evolves (im not saying sc2 wont evolve...) terran MM + Tank/Vessel vs zerg isnt comparable to zvt in sc2... in bw, tvz was based on terrans push, and zerg's need to get a third gas and to delay that push till they teched to darkswarm: this meant keeping the MM at the terrans main by muta harass, lurker contain, etc... also, the all games arnt just MM+Tank/Vessel.. a new trend has come where terrans are going bio -> mech which zergs are having a hard time dealing with... flash's genius goliath -> MM push g1 MSL finals vs jd a couple days ago.. straight mech is also a very viable option.. other openings are 2 port wraith, valk play.. the list goes on this kind of play hasnt been discovered in sc2 yet... (again, not saying it wont come up, just that it took bw a decade to reach where it has now, sc2 has only been out for a lil over a month. beta not included) give it time people! | ||

Well so protoss does only zssi and zerg does only zbm. Wtf is wrong with you people? What the hell are we supposed to build in the first part of the game?? Battlecruisers? We do marine marauders, protoss does zealot stalker and zerg does zergling roach or slight variations. What else is there to do? We add medivacs - you add immortals We add ghosts - you add hts and so on... What do you want us to do? What do we have to build to make you feel better about the game? Fast tanks and get owned by -blink stalkers/immortals/chargelots/vrays/zerglings/burrow roaches/mutalisks or what? Mass reapers to the end of time?? | ||

We all start out by building battlecruiser, carriers, devourer and guardian. /sarcasm | ||

If it's boring to watch for you then simply don't watch it. I'm sure the thousands of viewers on stream enjoy watching SC2, so it's obviously not boring for them. | ||
