" See, unlike most video games released in the 21st century, StarCraft has a learning curve that's not just a vertical cliff… it's a tidal wave that threatens to destroy you. Much like someone attempting to play a sport without first learning the rules, my pitiable forays into online play showed little understanding of the game’s strategy, and even less of the underlying gameplay." Really good read altogether :D | ||

Ok. As a huge fan of eve online I have to confess that till now I didn’t even know what SC is. I read the whole thing, watched some YT videos and there you go… Downloading my copy as I write this. Thank you! This comment is why this article owns :D | ||

+ Show Spoiler + APM brings to mind the "mechanics" of a top-level athlete, those skills and actions drilled so deeply into a player over years that they become unconscious. It sets the pros apart from the wannabes, and the young from the old. While StarCraft’s chess-like strategy could be accessible to anyone at any age, the high-level APM is only physically possible for the low-latency young (high school age to mid-twenties). Even if old age doesn't get you, carpal tunnel will. StarCraft II has reduced some of the click burden, but it's still not exactly Windows Solitaire. Again, really good article overall though. | ||

And maybe if you stick around awhile you can call yourself a silver player next season! | ||
