Can't be lack of experience or practice at this point, is there some intricacy about the game that they're missing? or is it that in this new game there's just better players than they are? | ||

SC2 being easier in Flash' words means easier to get good enough mechanics. BW and SC2 honestly require slightly different skill sets. | ||

In context to the question I think he was simply trying to sound encouraging to newer players. I think everyone is reading too much into that answer.

and also reduce caster potential, and nerf the immortals shield to make a mech slightly more possible in TvP... or make ultras more viable in ZvP because the only Ultra transition works is when the Toss doesn't scout it. | ||

Towards the end of the BW OSL's you could see that the best mechanical players were not the ones consistently winning. This can be seen in the past as well, outliers like Savior for example who had decent macro/micro but were not the main reasons they won. On the other hand iloveoov had better macro than anyone else in his lifetime but even his wins did not only come from his insane macro skill. I don't really remember correctly, but iirc Hiya was super fast but wasn't "that" good. | ||

" Terran is a race with limited diversity, and my strategic diversity is even more limited" "Who doesn’t know that SC2 is facing difficulties? " This is the Elephant in the room. The problems with SC2 have been well studied and described for a long time now. The limited diversity of terran is only one of them. Instead, large parts of the community have a very negative attitude towards even discussing this. Let alone to do something about it. Make yourselves heard. Stop being so damn politically correct. It is dumb. You are one of the few here who are not discussing "sc2 is easier". I never thought that becomes the main point of discussion. I thought people will discuss the retirement wave and sc2's decline. . . | ||

SC2 and BW are hard in different aspects - don't for a second believe that BW is harder in all of them.

Since it is so easy, there are less things a player can do to differentiate themselves from the rest. The skillcap talk is meaningless - there is no "cap" that a human being can reach as it would require you to do everything perfectly. It's just not possible and never will be. Besides, I think what he's saying is that it's easier to reach a decent level mechanically speaking, not easier to play at the top level. | ||

Sc2 is by far easier game than bw and that is why its difficult for top players to even remain for long time. The game simply has no other skills like macroing( i mean going back to your base to spam z z z z z into your gateways while you fight and rally your workers), or 1a2a3a4a5a6a7a ing micro constantly, or having to multitAsk while doing all that. Bw simply was much harder. The lack of those skills and possibly more don't allow sc2 players to be really distinguished from each other. There's a reason why bw legends were able toget 4+ awards constantly and dominating even b/a level players who are also really good. | ||
