Yeah pretty much this.
Why is MVP so well known? Cuz he's good and has differentiated his play so well.
Starcraft isn't stale and i know there is way more to be done to even reach a skill ceiling. Polt's rediculous marine splitting to attack tanks is a perfect example of this.

This unless Browder makes a gigantic mistake and destroys the game, which scaes the hell out of me every time he speaks. *shudders*

I don't want to see BW die, but I am certainly fascinated at what level these pros can push the game. I feel SC2 has a much different type of skill ceiling, which should be increased even harder with all of these new HoTS spell casters. As much as I would like SC2 to be more like BW, it doesn't seem to be going into that direction at all.
Whatever weird WC3micro/BWmacro/Dota-viperhooking mutant game we end up with... I can certainly say I'm curious to see it played at it's best.

There is so much left to be learned with StarCraft 2 it's not even funny. No one macros perfect yet, no one micros perfect yet. Not MVP, not Nestea, no one. No one has figured out every use for every unit. No one has figured out every little crazy glitch and flaw in the engine yet.
The game is barely a year old. It's so amazingly frustrating when people expect it to have been figured out at the level that BW has been at this point.

Ugh. This is so depressing.

I feel like this coulddddd be good for sc2. As I feel sc2 players still arent playing correctly. Micro and macro isnt perfect and theres much more things that are possible. With HOTS possibly raising the micro extent this could be a much better thing than what were thinking

Sad too, because WC4 will likely be nothing like SC2 (micro v. macro), and should be able to stand on it's own merits. Now, it could be a shit game, we'll never known until it's released...but something in Blizzard's track record makes me doubt it.

This. That article was absolutely retarded and there is no other word I can possibly think of to describe it with. At first, their were many praises of it, but then intrigue was bashed for an indefinite amount of posts.
Starcraft 2 is out and so many people are still stuck in brood war. I don't show hostilities towards the BW community, but this is one of the few games where people are trying so hard to inhibit change and stalling the death of the game itself. When a sequel comes out for practically any other game, people flock to it, but with Starcraft it's somehow different.
I expect a lot of harassment to come from the BW community that remains of the BW pros decide to switch to SC2. For one, I would absolutely LOVE to see BW skill in SC2 graphics in HD streams.

the idea that the skill ceiling isn't high enough in SC2 for great players to consistently dominateis totally bogus. The same players keep winning all the tournaments--if good players couldn't consistently beat worse ones, there's no way MVP and Nestea would dominate the way they have, DRG wouldn't be the GSTL monster he is, and the few elite foreigners wouldn't beat other foreigners as consistently as they do. But clearly, all that has happened. Hell, some players in some matchups have dominated so utterly that their win percentages are up there with the very best BW players at given matchups--Nestea had a ZvZ run that was every bit as dominant as BesT at his PvP peak.

Thank you for properly saying what I was going to try to put into words far less eloquently. As SC2 gets older (years after the last expansion) I expect it to look very similar to BW now. It's just going to be a growing process. It sucks that BW fans have gone through it already and have to endure "worse" (really just less developed play) in SC2 for a while, but at some point a new game was going to be made. Nothing lasts forever.

So wait, Flash is switching over? So, is BW completely dead? I hope not. I mean, I watch and play SC2 more, but mostly because it's easier for an English speaker to follow and the community is larger. BW is still a better game, and I'd be sad to see pro-BW die.

and to the previous guy yes every game has luck but sc2 is MORE luck dependent compared to bw iirc there was a bnet attack where jaedong lost against a high level clan member (non-progamer) and was visibly pissed okay it was bnet and there was lag so he couldn't muta micro but still didn't flash lose to lomo and ssak to get eliminated from msl RO32? i wouldn't know if the equivalent happens in sc2 because i don't watch sc2 Virus almost beat NesTea last season, it was ridiculously close.
Virus is a legit professional. That's not even close to the same thing.
The same thing would be if some random ladder hero from MLG Providence open bracket comes out and beast MVP or Nestea on Championship Sunday.

Agreed. People need to stfu about what's possible with SC2, as if they've figured out the game completely. Because I can guarantee A) You're not that smart B) You're not that good. C)You're not a psychic (actually I'm not so sure I can prove this last one)
Above poster mentions an example where even the developers didn't even know about what was possible with their units. Another one would be Dusty's little spiel of the unexpected use of creep spread during Kennigit's interview. With enough time this exceptional generation of progamers will find more and more intricacies within the game and show us just how complex it is.

The two games are different to the point where one will never be like the other. It's just the game design. Whether you like one or the other is a matter of personal preferences, but I think it's safe to say that SC2 won't be "like" BW, because of how it's designed.
Also, I'd also like to note that SC2 has a bustling e-sports scene and it's a game that's been intensely studied on a level that outmatches that of BW. I think it's safe to say that along with simpler mechanics/less bugs/smarter AI/technology the amount of time that it'll take to see what one can do in this game is going to be a lot faster than in BW.
