i really, really hope these guys start beasting it at this game soon. HotS better be the shit, i mean, it better be the ultimate shit. i cannot wait to see if Flash can keep a 70+% winrate. it might be impossible, and maybe i shouldn't even be talking about it or i'll jinx it, but can you imagine how monstrously cool that would be? im almost scared to think about it. | ||

They're not saying that -_-;; What they're saying is that Toss is the easiest to pick up, but that means little in the long run, since what really matters is how strong Toss is at the truly tip-top level, not for BW pros who still aren't caught up with the top level of play in the SC2 scene. And with MC being the only Toss player who consistently takes tournaments, being successful with Toss at the very top level of progaming clearly isn't something anyone can do. | ||

I would have liked to seen more questions not pertaining to SC2, but ofc it's Blizzard's deal to promote the game. | ||

What kind of questions would you have liked to see? Keep in mind all four players were in the room answering the same question at the same time, so Flash was the only player still in a Brood War individual league at the time. I didn't really think there was much to ask about Brood War that would be appropriate for the setting - them interviewing the day of a SC2 event match. | ||

What was the hardest thing to get used to about StarCraft II? Jaedong: I feel Brood War and StarCraft II are completely different games. Every unit in StarCraft II has very clear counter units and this seems to make it harder to turn a game around. That was the most difficult thing to adapt to in the new game for me. The new UI also made me frustrated. Flash: The biggest difference from Brood War is that it’s hard to turn the game around. In Brood War, each player’s performance in unit production varied, but in StarCraft II, everyone can make a lot of units with ease due to the convenient interface. I think this is the most important point that makes tuning the game around harder. Bisu: Unlike Brood War, unit combinations and the counter build order are very important in StarCraft II. This is the hardest part for me. Stork: Brood War has “standard” build orders which are viable against any kind of opposing strategy, allowing for a long term fight. In StarCraft II, I feel it’s difficult to come back from having my build order countered or from making a mistake. If I take my first expansion a little bit later then my opponent, the resource gap between us widens due to Chrono Boost, Larva Spawn and MULE. It makes the game hard to turn around. Yeah this is a huge spectator concern as well and one that Blizz isn't really addressing. | ||

Well, they have stated that Zerg has a hard time pushing forward and winning the game after winning a battle, in comparison to the other races, so they were trying to make it easier for Zerg to do in HotS. | ||

You can feel how JD and Flash are itchy for the new game, while Stork and Bisu still need to have more victories I guess. Somehow I had you down as working for EG not Blizz, Shiro. Oh well. Good job. I was with EG for a while, but now I'm with Blizzard.  Glad some people remember my name! | ||
