Starcraft II = an army of rock paper scissor lizard spocks against an army of rock paper scissor lizard spocks. I fucking hate articles that are well written with 70% truth in it and 30 % lies. Then everybody believes what they read and become all happy and shit. Luckily this author was capable to only write 50% truths and got his bullshit called. | ||

God this would have been so funny to have been redone as terran at the release of sc2. Not saying it's true just funny. | ||

Whereas the truth is that in an RTS, paper can easily beat scissors if you're managing the paper factory better than your opponent is managing his scissor factory. (although some players would say that the terran paper factory gets repaired and is impossible to kill). | ||

I hope some day the reverent TLers would break away and start using the "meta-word-which-must-not-be-used" freely, like they should. Ironically, Chill used Wikipedia to define the word "Meta", yet he didn't consider looking up the Wikipedia definition of "Metagame" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metagame Metagaming is a broad term usually used to define any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game. Another definition refers to the game universe outside of the game itself. In simple terms, using out-of-game information, or resources, to affect one's in-game decisions. It can even be used as a verb! | ||

maybe if they actually read the article and considered what the words meant they'd realize he didnt mean "SC2 HAS A HARD COUNTER SYSTEM" | ||

At top level good scouting obviously throws his rock paper scissors theory out the window but it is true lots of people just play blind and guess. Top level?? That's pretty much a rudimentary skill in any rts i think... This is a pretty shitty article even for newbies | ||
