Please don't oversimplify either game sir. | ||

In other words, the harder it is to "make as many units as possible and to move those units in the right way", the less "strategy" is involved. Conversely, the less "mechanics and speed" are required, the more "strategy" is involved. Did I get that right? Yes? Good. Let us reiterate, *ahem*: the less "mechanics and speed" are required, the more "strategy" is involved By this logic, all turn-based games are more "strategic" than any real-time game, because they require less mechanics and speed. That's right: by Artosis' logic, Chess is more strategic than SC2. Indeed -- according to this logic -- Hearthstone is more strategic than SC2. Yes.. even Tic Tac Toe is more strategic than SC2. + Show Spoiler [poll] + /thread In terms of percentage of importance, chess absolutely is more strategic than SC, either version. | ||

So strategic If physical difficulty was what determined strategy then arm wrestling is more strategic than being the general of the US army. Please don't oversimplify either game sir. Right click mineral fields for 45 minutes? Once you set up your eco which is usually in the first 10-15 min, unless your opponent is dropping you or doing all kinds of shenanigans to make you lose workers, you'll likely be focusing on unit production (and eventually take another exp etc...). As for the ramp part, hehe, nothing beats managing to move up a ramp just in time before ultras arrive and you block them off using a medic block or d-matrix a unit and leave it on the ramp. I would say its strategic because you read the situation and executed said decision to make sure your army survives. | ||

Or you could take what Artosis said at face value and not assume he is suggesting one game is better than the other. | ||

If you factor in that SC2 has way more matches per year than BW that puts SC2 WAY ahead, no contest. Reported for inciting war!  | ||

He was definitely top 10 USA around 2000 - 2002. He just failed to keep up as the game developed. | ||
