Why?

Progamers that don't actually play on TV anymore don't impact our enjoyment of the game besides nostalgia. It's a lot better for us to see them once again on a new stage where they can not only get air-time (like going to ACE), but actually be competitive.

This isn't 200-yearofyourchoice, July being in SC1 doesn't do anything new. July being in SC2 hopefully will.

Wait, did he say Starcraft got harder from the original? Did anyone else get confused?

So a legend like July should stick to spinning his wheels in a game he can no longer compete in rather than take a chance at revolutionizing a new game where his skills and experience will likely set him apart? That is a very selfish sentiment for someone who is supposedly a "fan" of BW.

It would be terrible if players at the top of the game like Stork/Flash/Jaedong switched over, because they have so much more to offer, but guys like July/Nada/Boxer who have already left their mark on BW and aren't likely to do much more in a game that is constantly evolving, can really progress SC2 if they switch now. I would rather see them competing in and revolutionizing a game like SC2 than relegated to being mere figureheads in BW even though I enjoy that game much more.

A mod has already asked that this not be used as a Brood War vs SC2 thread, please stop the "subtle" backhanded compliments.

Tushin fighting!

Looking forward to seeing the god of war feast on the blood of his enemies once more.

Sc2 - Where former BW pro gamer retire after they can't keep up with a more APM intensive game.

Actually, July has massive APM. Had well around 500(sometimes 600) in his peak, so I don't think speed is the problem.

and thus switched to a game where the general level of mechanical skill is lower.



Can you prove that? Mechanical skill seems to be on par with each other with extra, mechanics thrown in to make things more attention based read: Larvae/Chrono Boost.

I'd agree with in combat micro but, as it stands thats a dubious assumption due to the novelty of the game everyone makes so many mistakes *watch the GSL* that micro is often not needed to a high regard because you mostly out number or out comp the opposing player.

I have yet to see an example of stark game mechanics where BW requires MORE apm. Yes SC2 has mechanics made simpler but there has been so many more added that I don't see either game having a difference in skill.

Besides, what determines skill in a game isn't the mechanics it'self it's your opponent.


Did you seriously just argue that SC2 takes as much APM as BW? MBS, 12 unit selection, manually making each worker mine, no smart-casting....those things alone make the requirements in BW like 100 apm higher at least.
