I see no problem here :p Actually it is more like: S-class BW players do not dominate: The game is hopelessly volatile S-class BW players do dominate: The game isn't hopelessly volatile, but spectatorwise it is still an inferior game... The above stems from people having more faith in the S-class players of BW's skills than SC2 being a well-balanced game... If you are going to flame BW-elitists, at least do it for the right reasons. | ||

If you are going to flame BW-elitists, at least do it for the right reasons. why is it inferior? if they come in and dominate doesn't it mean sc2 has the necessary skill ceiling that allows players to be completely dominant if their skill is better? isn't that exactly what bw fans (and imo everyone should be) hope for? why is it STILL inferior? I really thought this would be the litmus test. the best rts players alive on the planet come over. if their talent allows them to rise above the current crop, sc2 is validated. if not, even as an sc2 fan, I totally get considering it inferior to BW. but to STILL call it worse if they do dominate, that I don't understand. that just seems like you are attached to BW. which is fine but call it what it is. edit - this is ignoring the word "hopelessly" being a bit of an exaggeration for a game with 2 expansions still to come and an untold number of patches. | ||

You are more eloquent about this than I am. I agree, spectator-wise SC2 is inferior. I never believed in the elephant, anyways | ||

*ForGG gets into Code S* OMG ForGG is going to win GSL soon! *ForGG gets owned in Code S* ForGG is way past his prime, wait till Flash switches over! *Flash plays SC2* OMG Flash is going to win GSL soon! *If Flash gets owned in SC2* SC2 is a stupidly easy game that does not reward skill! | ||

I really thought the only issue was the perception (the VERY FAIR perception, I want to make clear I don't disagree with you) that sc2 is too volatile and the skill ceiling is too low to compare to BW. but if that isn't true, why is it STILL worse? | ||

Like, comparing fOrGG is like comparing IdrA now to Nestea in his prime. | ||

I just think all the hype surrounding ForGG made him lose his appeal in SC2, I just don't want the same thing happening to Flash. Just sick of BW elitist will make every excuse if Flash manages to not do well in SC2 I also think Flash's playstyle is too methodical to play SC2 Terran. SC2 Terran doesn't really suit his turtling style, esp in TvZ. I do think Fantasy will do well with SC2 Terran though. | ||

He is just good all around. I would personally say jaejong has better mechanics but flash's are scary as well. also fantasy is supposedly going zerg. | ||

WoL will end soon, since most likely HotS Beta is coming out in the summer, and after a half year or so when it gets released tournaments will switch. So the question is that how he will do in HotS. But maybe I underestimate the power of the God so... But I don't think that he will be done those things in SC2 that he has done in BW in 5-6 months. Oh, and also what if he will play HotS beta immidietly, so he will have 1-2 months with WoL (: I feel like that he won't be able to achive that much in WoL because he won't have enough time for that. But in HotS he will be kick-ass I'm sure. | ||
