Any changes to the macro-system in starcraft 2 since 07 ? Are units as fragile in SC2 as they were in SC? | ||

Right now you can bind all your gateways, rax etc to one hotkey and each individual gateway appears just above the UI with 5 grey slots. If they build a unit the slot becomes white. You just need to go 4zzzzzzz and you get 7 zealots. It's ridiculously strong. Any changes to the macro-system in starcraft 2 since 07 ? Are units as fragile in SC2 as they were in SC? Yes, things are basically comparable. Stalkers vs Marines is very similar to Dragoons vs Marine for instance. | ||

That's pretty much all i can say at this point.Any imbalances found? Is it slower/ same / faster that sc1? Same (read above)any new units in build? No, some units seem better (like the infestor for instance which is like a ninja  really cool unit)how is the macro? Same as WWI (answered above) | ||

With that being said the engine does allow mutalisk micro, it's just different. Moving shot is still in the game, so you can make you mutalisks attack a target and move away again very very similar to stacked control, but obviously it's not as clean. It is my understanding that they are still trying to make stacking better. Muta Micro possbile? | ||

lol... Plexa: Do you have any idea if the Terran race will be so demanding mechanical-wise as it was in BW, ie almost on another level of difficulty(at least in sub-progamer skill level) compared to the other races? | ||

Are immortals still able to 1v4 siege tanks ? Are Zerg Sunkens movable ? Are Protoss Canons movable ? Also, how is the 30% more movement speed on creep. | ||

Protoss, imo, will probably require the most mechanics as they dont have the luxury of simple mbs unlike the other races. When using the warp-in mechanic protoss are forced to go back to the base and warp in each unit where as each other race never really has to go back except for the gas mechanic. But really, the difference is marginal. You dont need more than 150apm to play this game at its full potential imo. lol...

Can you micro Jackals vs zealots like you would with vultures? How does zealot charge micro works, can you move+click 20 zealots to flank tanks, then after surround you a+click = 20 instant charges? | ||

How does the new stalker look compared too the WWI08 version ? Are immortals still able to 1v4 siege tanks ? Yes afaikAre Zerg Sunkens movable ? NoAre Protoss Canons movable ? Also, how is the 30% more movement speed on creep. I think its a good mechanic. Currently, once you reach lair tech overlords are able to channel creep. I can definitely see overlords being prepositioned and deploying creep as the battle begins to give Zerg that extra edge. There's a strong emphasis on battle positioning in SC2 (atleast thats how it feels to me). It's absolutely imperative that you get your army into the best position possible. | ||

From the one game that i did play that went midgame, the flow feels similar. All the options from BW are preserved (tech, rush, FE etc) but the timings are all different. How does early/mid/late game flow for the races you have played more or less? ie: Does zerg have to play reactive towards protoss early/mid? | ||

The question isn't whether SC2 will be an esport, the question is will SC2 be a successful esport. In all honesty, i dont think anyone can stop starcraft 2. It's going to be huge, there's going to be a huge following, and there's going to be tournaments everywhere for it. Atleast for the next 3-4 years the game will be the dominate esports game (imo). After that, we'll see how the engine holds up and the macro (and the balance). I dont know.. its a tough call to make... There will be that ability to differentiate yourself but every game will be similar to zvz at pro level. One mistake can literally end the game for you. | ||
