EPTAfter I read this, I feel the advantages playing BW before SC2 is simply having a more developed game sense and better multitasking-- the urge to keep flipping around your stuff and making it do stuff. The spare APM also lets me accomplish more than a player new to SC2. I guess its just like if a fairly athletic person took up a new sport, versus a fat guy doing so.

In Starcraft your fast hands have a big role. You don't agree then go play chess or stop pretending that giving Starcraft the controls for casual players will grow the better strategist in them. Something that is easy is not worthy of fame. The obstacles on a running circuit are added there to make the run more difficult not to mindlessly limit the runners. The harder the obstacle the greater the achievement. People really need to think more about why do we like sports and competition. | ||

Analogies are like light jackets with hoodies on them. By the time you need the hoodie--you really should have just gotten a thicker jacket. But the hoodie looks stylish and cool--so you keep using it despite it not making any sense. It's kind of like how people keep saying that players can't dominate in SC2 due to a low skill ceiling, despite the fact that the winrates of players playing the game shows otherwise? They could just say "hey, the evidence shows that it is possible to dominate a matchup--which means it is possible that a player will eventually dominate all 3 matchups," but once again, hoodies look stylish and cool so they keep using them despite it not making any sense. | ||

Yes, bw might be more of a mechanical challenge, sc2 is still a valid and competetive game which has 2 more addons and like 5 years to go. | ||

NFL bench-warmers WILL come stomp the high school team if the high school starts offering salaries comparable to what NFL stars would earn. This is exactly the phenomenon going on in the SC2 scene right now. It's weird that you say this is not the reality when it's already happened. | ||
