Flash , Jaedong , Effort and most top players are well paid , so unless there are more leagues and paid salaries they won't change . And with the current balance of SC2 i see no reason for top players to switch for just only GSL and have some terran player use 1 of 100 rush builds and cheese them out of the league . Then they will only be watching SC2 on TV . Unless you are bad/retired in BW and you still want to be a progamer there is no other reason for top BW players switching to SC 2 . so what your syaing in SCBW will be composed of the top 5% of their players and everyone else goes to SC2? fun!

Almost all units have an on use or special ability making incombat micro more difficult. The SC2 APM recorder puts out 40% less than BW. So when you see NoNy playing at 250 its really closer to 400. TLO against losira playing at 300 is really closer to 500. So the APM argument is out of the question. The constant chronoboost/larvae/3 options for command centres make a massive long term macro difference in the game and requires an immense depth of knowledge of the game to determine what is the correct choice for a player that needs every single last edge in a game. My friends that are BELOW the top 200 push around 200 apm for an entire game and they still regard themselves as slow being unable to perfectly bounce between their macro mechanics and perfect incombat skill-usage splitting their 4-5 different units and skill types in their fights for the best effect. Saying sc2 isn't comparable to the BW in terms of taxing its players simply isn't a fair or reasonable request. Saying one is harder than the other is also far from anyones judgement except for those that DO play on the absolute bleeding edge, if you're just a scrub that plays casually and cant break into the 1500 diamond levels or push into the a- range of iccup then honestly you have no right to say what is hard and easy. | ||

The thing is, B-teamers still get some salaries, they may not be as much as top players get, but people still can live with them, which is something SC2 doesn't have, there are no sponsored teams, so you either win or starve, which doesn't attract many StarCraft players On September 16 2010 15:02 Thurokiir wrote: If you smart mine to get 7% more minerals it requires individual manipulation of scvs which is harder than the current mining requirements in BW so that is out of the question.

Actually, this thing about APM that Tasteless said is utter bullshit, there is no such thing, it is just that in BW AND SC2 clicks are not registered as actions. | ||
