lots of pro rts types are fairly viable and infrequently considered i think, like being hugely spread out over the map with 10 expansions each in the ultimate war of wide-scale game management; a crazy blitz-like game with rediculously fast unit speeds on a small two-sided map, lasting like 8 minutes average or something, sort of like pingpong; or a game where the units move slugglishly as hell but the strategy is deep, with a huge unit variety and 5 or 6 unique races. and the game takes a good pace instead of by an enormous array of multitasking or the extatic speed of a relatively small number of things that are happening, by the extra skill and effort it takes to work the ui, and the extra room for perfection there is for every action and decision, half way to being turn-based.
I think to anyone who's not a hypocrite and holds an open mind to the fact that a game doesn't have to be exactly like broodwar to be good, such wide-ranged rts ideas are quite viable for a real e-sport. i believe they could be good but i still wouldn't play them, and if i did i wouldn't want to play them more than i do broodwar. just because they're different. broodwar is another kind of rts which has a pretty big number of good viable unique quallities modern rts games lack.
Some of you seem to have like two or three beefs with bw, and are willing to exchange the entire game, for something that's balanced, played on a professional level, and is part of the same franchise, completely different in every other way, so that these couple quallities can be removed. so far they've replaced or reduxed every single unit in the game as well as ass-fucking the ui system. maybe you just don't like broodwar's specific aspects as much as you like its basic quallities that make it a decent spectator sport, as much as i do.
They don't like the risk of making new promotions for an old product -- or maybe it's aesthetically displeasing to them because they like putting their heart into new projects. but i think it could work. unfortunately i at this point dont' have great faith in sc2 not to replace bw at least outside of korea. maybe it will be a stepping stone for esports and bw can come back or something like it.

just because the game is in early stages doesn't mean we should remain quiet or completely unemotional about any huge mistake we think they're making.

If you think that the lack of ability to select multiple buildings and an artificial limit imposed on unit selection is all the separates BW from other RTS and that the ability to best overcome these interface limitations is all that separates a good player from a newb, chances are you are a whining chobofucker.

Idiot, its what makes this game so classic, and challenging, chances your just some stupid wow nerd or warcraft player that wants to impose ideas suited to the noobass warcraft players, whom don't have even have a clue what a real challening game like starcraft should be. I can't believe Blizzard listens to idiots like you, idiots like you couldn't figure that Moon was not really the best war3 player in the world, and won because of circumstances, and that they were plenty of other players that could beat him; but because of chances, moon seemed so dominant but you being the idiot fanboy warcraft nerd that you are worshipped him as the best player in the world without having any idea at all. Your that fanboy, or you're just a stupid noob ass kid. STFU seriously, we don't want CNC, or warcraft in space with elf imbalance that ruins war3. People like you made elf imbalanced in war3. In conclusion just STFU kid.

I can't believe you guys are attacking the people who are complaining about things that they should. Blizzard decision to make unlimited unit selection and many other things, will only make starcraft look incompetent and an unworthy sucessor to broodwar. I say complain as much as possible, I would hate to see warcraft in space, or another CNC. Justin Browder should not have been chosen for this job. Being noob friendly is not an option, are you guys seriously noobs? I hope not, because the original features as someone already pointed out makes this game challenging, for competence. I don't think a pro like Nada will like this, seriously guys, have you been affected by the CNC-I want everything to be easy-EA strat games rock-support war3 fanboys to make starcraft 2 imbalanced with elf in space- attract 12 year old noobs and other ignorant idiots to Sc2 to make the community more stupid disease?
