Well to be frank your implying that it is a game worth picking up with the way your wording things. I mean honestly i wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Blizzard didn't quite roll everything out properly. They could have gotten their ducks in a line wayyyyyy earlier and planned their approach ahead of time for the esports side of things. The fact that its a 3 part game that you have to buy the earlier parts in order to play the latter is just quite expensive. Especially for a game that requires you to put heavy time into it in order to learn it. Do i like sc2, sure.....but only because I played bw. But i don't think i would try selling someone on a product that i'm not completely sold on myself.

Well, Starbow is free. But no single player, takes some time to set up ladder, I doubt new players would jump on it.

Any games of the same genre you'd recommend? Thought so.

My friend was nationally ranked in Age of Empires 2, but said BW wasn't his cup of tea.

did he say anything about why he didn't like broodwar compared to AoE??
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

I wish I knew. Sadly, all my real life friends have stopped playing. But when I visit them, I get them into the spirit of playing again because they see my passion for the game. It's way more fun for them when I cast the tournament streams for them. Give them my opinions of the game. I'd say playing 2v2 is your best bet.

Don't give up. They ARE people out there that will love RTS. They just don't know it yet.
