Again with the nostalgia argument I don't know if you are trolling or not but you can't say it's nostalgia when the game is quite relevant as it is today in terms of high competition and skill level . If you think it's just the past than be my guess and register yourself at courage tournament and beat all this guys who have been playing this games for years and still some of them could not qualify to be best in proleague .

Do I need to carry my pc to my friends house to play lan ? What the hell ? All I needed to do was just go to my local pc bang and play broodwar with my friends and after that go for a drink . Seriously back than computers are quite bulky I am amazed that you as a 14 year old kid can carry it over you must be pretty strong !.




So if you don't recall when it is release you are not a bw fan ? I think it's quite pathetic to label people as a hipster just because fans like the old game maybe you should call cs source fans and 1.6 fans hipsters too because they just love the game and not joining in the Halo and CoD crowd after all not following new trends make you a hipster right ?

LoL at the bashing of the retarded UI let me point you to a article where ret was talking about sc2 having no micro
http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft/news/11475-ret-micro-almost-non-existent-in-starcraft-2/0
At least broodwar had units which is microable and if you are able to micro them carefully they will last as long as you can micro them . Case in point Boxer v Yellow if you recall that game where it was even made in to a highlight video on youtube .
No I am not interested in seeing Flash being a beast in sc2 what I am interested is seeing broodwar and as a kt fan maybe I will drop by tl.net a few days just to see how my team is doing in the sc2 scene .



This statement confirms that you don't know a thing about broodwar if you think broodwar is all about fighting the AI . Seriously I can't believe it after 14 years of broodwar and you are complaining about the game AI still ? I have gotten over the minor technicalities of the game and the A.I always serve me well because I play terran and even though If I off race as protoss I feel like stork possessed me and I was able to use dragoons and massacre siege tanks after siege tank . No experience broodwar player would have bashed the game just because of few minor difficulties which could have over come by having a little patience . Sorry but I think you are a troll.

It is not about the drama.

What separates people is the ability (willingness?) to accept the notion that BW is a great game while SC2 has the potential to be, and is becoming a great game. You can like both games...

I know that SC2 has huge problems, but it is not like SC1 didn't have any problems before Brood War. Psi storm anyone ?
WC3 Reign of Chaos was also a bit flawed.
What you have now is a situation where a lot of really solid RTS players are starting to play a new game. I think it will be interesting even for all BW zealots to study how the game play in SC2 will evolve with all these great players are switching over.

I was 14 years when Starcraft 1 was released in 1998. Before that I had played a lot of Warcraft 2. I used to carry my computer over to my friends place so we could connect them with serial cables to play WC2 vs each other , lol

How many of you BW hipster boys actually did that? How many of you remember the release of SC1 ?
For me it was such a huge thing. The game really blew my mind to the point where I thought that it would be impossible to ever make a better game.
And I maintain that this is the most bad ass intro to a video game ever.

Now I have to face all these rude people who seem to look down on me for playing Starcraft 2.

They wonder how I can bring myself to divert any time at all to "that unspeakable game that we don't mention".
It is like I have to apologize. And the undertone is that I don't understand anything about SC:BW so that they can dismiss anything I say as ignorant.

But a lot of your favourite players and casters have already switched over to Sc2 , and a lot more will follow soon.

Wouldn't it be interesting to follow SC2 to see what a beast like Flash can do with a game with a lot less retarded UI ?
He can devote more of his apm to more important stuff than trying to get his units to walk down a ramp in an orderly fashion.

This doesn't mean that you can't allow yourself to be nostalgic. All the good stuff from BW will still be available as vods.
And if there is interest by progamers, maybe some will stay and continue to provide good games for you.

Trying not to let my hopes up, sc2 really doesn't allow for players of this level to show what really differentiates them from your average top Korean but at least we should see a lot less mistakes than we currently do.
