After telling his workers to do something, he always tells them to go back to mining afterwards. Its a small little thing, but just shows you how meticuluous of a player he is. I do this and im not even gm. | ||

Blizzard themselves said they purposely made an easier game. Guess that's that. | ||

This, and these rebuttal posts are doing the exact thing I said in my original post. Lol. Comming from a player that won an MSL and beat Flash/Jaedong multiple times, its just showing that not all brood war pros are as narrow-minded on bw's superiority over sc2 as most people on here seem to think. That's all...really. People are seriously trying to elaborate on a one-worded response...chirst man. | ||

Compare that with the end of his BW career where he was pretty much Flash's punching bag in the practice house, and incredibly unreliable and inconsistent in proleague. Yep, SC2 is totally not easier than BW. Lets not mix in level of competition and accessibility/difficulty of game though. Yes starcraft 2 has easier mechanics. Yes starcraft 2 has a lower level of competition compared to BW right now. However, the level of competition can increase to the point where it is as high as BW. They are 2 separate things, lets not confuse them. | ||

Yep, SC2 is totally not easier than BW. just because the players are worse doesn't make the game easier. If all the pro bw players switched over you'd either have the same people dominating as in BW or you'd have a completely different scene because the games is *different*, not easier. Difficulty is relative according to who is playing against who, it's a competitive game. | ||

It is still a highly competitive game that people train a lot to get better at it. Gosh grow up, if you don't like something no need to go around all day screaming that you hate it, similarly if you like something just... enjoy it, no need to bicker over crap on the internet. This SC2 vs BW **** was cute and maaaaybe interesting at first, now you have to wonder if the people actually discussing this have anything else going on on their lives. tl;dr enjoy your crap and stop shitting on the crap other people enjoy | ||

The best BW players came from the largest pool of talent possible, since it had the most prestige and money. When SC2 hit, the only Koreans playing it were the leftovers who couldn't cut it in Broodwar. These players are simply less talented at RTS than the top tier Broodwar players, but they were still really good players. In SC2, where they aren't overshadowed by the superior players, so they are doing amazingly. As much as people make fun of the performance of guys like MVP and MC in Broodwar, they would've beaten every foreigner in the world 95/100 times if they had tournaments to play against foreigners. Idra lived for 2 years in Korea playing Broodwar and was still one of the worst players on the CJ Entus B-team, and his crowning achievement was losing 1-2 in the first round of an OSL qualifier because he managed to win a game. Broodwar still has the best RTS talent in Korea, and that talent is transferable to SC2. | ||

At a competitive level, the competition is inferior to BW. At a newbie level, SC2 is more accessible and the simplified mechanics make it easier to play at a semi-competent level compared to BW. At this point in time, there is absolutely no basis upon which one can say that SC2 is equally hard as BW. | ||

From experience I can tell you that it's pretty difficult flanking with 180 zerglings when you can only select 12 at a time, though of course it can be done. Also I assume people are talking about mechanical difficulty in which case it's no contest. In the case of "difficulty of victory" that you seem to be talking about, you obviously are correct. | ||
