The mechanics of the game is of course easier but that doesn't mean it's easier to be the best. Just easier to play the game at all. | ||

It is easier to play the game at a level where you don't look like an idiot (having idle scv's, units loitering around). However if you are in the competitive scene, the difficulty is the same as in starcraft 1: as hard as you can bear. Because as soon as you don't give 100%, people who do will start beating you. Anyways, nice interview, thanks for sharing it. | ||

Since I'm not a bw expert, I'm asking this, why is clump so bad in sc2 ? It adds a lot to micro like managing your units, making good concave, spreading your units, and increase the difficulty of controling your army etc... It looks like baby sit your units in bw because of bad pathing. No ? | ||

It looks like baby sit your units in bw because of bad pathing. No ? Because the game is a lot less forgiving. One mistake and your whole army is gone, instead of just portions of it. In broodwar, if your attention on army control slips for a second, you end up at a small disadvantage which you can nullify easily by just macroing better than your opponent. In starcraft 2, this is no longer possible. And, from a spectator's point of view, battles are over too quickly. | ||

Anyways, nice interview, thanks for sharing it. No the difficulty isn't the same. -_- There are different things to hold you back in SC2. Dove is still very new to the game and his knowledge of how everything works is still not where it needs to be. That's all he meant when he said he's still trying to figure everything out when he loses because he doesn't necessarily know what he did wrong. Stop comparing the two.

No. -_- There's a reason why there are only a few players in BW fit the criteria. How about we focus on what's happening now instead of things that would never happen?

They do do things to keep themselves in shape. | ||

It looks like baby sit your units in bw because of bad pathing. No ? Because its way to easy to punish it, auto cast/aoe units punish a default mechanic which is clumping. While in BW "punish" mechanic(like spells or reavers) require comparable ammount of effort compared to deflecting it. Simple disproportion of skill used in execution and countering it. | ||
