"Q: Many people are starting to play SC2 recently. What’s your advice?

Flash: This game is very easy. Comparing to SC1, multitasking is easier and hotkeys are easier. So utilizing this part, everyone can play well."

If it's so easy, why isn't he winning anything? I agree that SC2 is easier than BW but Taeja and Bomber are clearly playing better SC2 than Flash is.

FLASH FIGHTING!!!

I miss this phrase so much. Yes it was overused but much, much better attitude than what we have right now.

easy is a relative term and a double edged sword

while it gets easier for you, it gets easier for your opponent aswell.

Easy game means very low skill ceiling.

It is hard for players to stand out because there is barely any mechanical skill to seperate yourself from other players.

Really cool interview, thanks larse.

Also his comments about SC2 being easier are quite obvious, everyone who is familiar with both games know it, it's a simple truth. But it is not really a burn, some of you people say pretty dumb things and jump on every opportunity to bash SC2. It is a big reason why I don't read the threads on here nearly as much as I used to, so much stupidity.

That doesn't necessarily have to do with a low skill ceiling, but rather that the skill gap is lower. I think the skill ceiling is not the thing that makes SC2 easier, it's just easier to win against players that are better than you. Two pretty different things.

Easier mechanics allow strategist geniuses to shine, though. What's so great about mechanics anyway? I want to see brains clash and the more intelligent player to win.

Exactly. That's why now we have an even playing field where foreigners are doing about as well as their Korean counterparts - all things considered!

But then, why have players ever been on top for extended periods of time at all?

" I will make foreign tournaments my main focus."

Oh yeah! If Flash comes to DHW13, I can't even comprehend what that would be like for me.

Because they had a better gamesens, because they created their own BO and strategies. I never remember telling "Wow, his macro and multitask is insane" by watching a game on SC2. We usually say "Wow, his timing/his strat is perfect" or something like that.

Broodwar was hard because technology sucked back then.

SC2 might be easier but there is still room for great players to shine and show their skill.HotS made the game a bit more complex which is good.

Some things cannot change right now though,sc2 is designed in a specific way.Deal with it or stop playing/watching.
All I do is Stim.
