I think TVT is pretty much closer to chess since its all about territory and making a move inch by inch (leaping tanks, nuke, vikings etc..) | ||

Really? Are people still trying to argue this? Outside of immortals that's completely untrue. The whole post the OP quoted is the tired OLD argument of 'BW is better!'. Trying to say macro/micro don't really matter in SC2 and it's all about RPS/all-ins is completely ridiculous at this stage of the game. | ||

BW didnt have Banelings, Collossi or Thors, which are easy to micro in comparison to their outcome. How can anyone disagree to the fact, that counters are much harder in SC2 than in BW? | ||

(DT, Void Ray, Colo, Fast Expo, 4 gate) TvZ is a mixture of both. (Don't get flanked, know whether if enemy is Muta/Roach/Ling/Bling heavy) From Terran perspective  Here's my 2 cent: ZvZ is more like chess. ZvT is more like poker. ZvP is a mixture of both. And honestly, I don't like poker much. | ||

You can't never be 100% sure what kind of hand your opponent has in poker but if you scout an fe in sc2 it is an fe then. It doesn't matter how fast or precise you are in chess or poker (ok <5min games in chess maybe kinda) Even rally driving requires you to think ahead and have good reactions. So imo it's neither. It's RTS at it's finest. In chess, you do have to be precise, and you can indeed fuck up with a single move. | ||

in sc2, if i'm countering roaches with marauders in even numbers, a legion of broodlords aren't going to suddenly appear on top of me for some fuckall bullshit luck reason. | ||

ZvT is like poker, but you reinplace the pokerface with a trollface when the terran goes marine/scv allin. ZvP is Starcraft 2. TvT is World of Tanks. TvP is kind of like chess i guess. | ||
