Loool

yellow brew was building up inside Artosis' sinuses

man has ptsd from plyons and also idra

Unironically true. If he played Terran in SC2 he would actually want to get with the times and play it competitively over Brood War

not even close lol. BW is objectively a better game. activision dumbed down sc2 for 12 year olds and ruined it

@@bigmikeobama5314I would say comparing their games to their respective times BW is objectively superior (what the team accomplished decades ago was outstanding) but SC2 is strictly speaking the superior game in 2023

​​@@bigmikeobama5314You have no clue, pal. Coming from someone who grew up with BW. SC2 is so fast and so hard I'd bet you couldn't even follow a Reynor replay without seizing.

just not as hard or taxing on the brain.

@@bigmikeobama5314 Sounds like you never played Yahoo Checkers.

@@bigmikeobama5314 People who have jobs already have their brains taxed.

You don't get to stack your pieces on top of eachother either. Another W for Checkers. Clearly the superior game.

Checkers are racist though. I mean the board has both black and white squares but during a checkers game you only use squares of one color to play. Some might thinks chess are racist too since there is all black vs. white thing going on, BUT in chess both black and white are shown as equals. They have the same pieces and positions and players are obligated to play both sides. ps. this is obviously a joke.

​@@Anubis1993KZBut the thing is in chess white moves first, clearly having white privilege, therefore chess is just as racist as checkers

You're right. That's why I mentioned the fact that players are forced to switch sides every other game to negate that fact.@@shoganflamemasta3975

no en passant checkmate in checkers tho

Lowko, Winter and Harstem bring a lot of ppl in

Nope it just keep decreasing since 2016

Because sc2 doesn't allow room for greatness to expand. Broodwar is a WAY harder game. This means the most skilled players have infinite space to get better and better than the competition. In sc2 it is harder to become better than your competitors because the game is easier to play.

There's a video from jinjin5000. It's a translated clip of Flash to be precise. He explains that SC2 was made too easy compared to bw and he elaborates futher. Short summary is that macro-skill was simplified so much that it didn't matter on high-skill level. If everyone has great macro then you can not "out-macro" your opponent.

Broodwar has all of that as well. On top of that everything is harder to control and less forgiving. That's why Broodwar is harder. Also it doesn't follow that if you master a difficult skill you're also a master of any easier skill. Like saying "If rocket science is so much harder than auto mechanics, why can't they just fix their own cars?" Some probably do, most probably let mechanics handle it because cars are not the same as rockets, 2 separate skills. Some knowledge carries over for sure, but there are alot of little nuances you don't get till you master the craft. Doesn't mean auto mechanics is just as difficult as rocket science.

Grew up playing BW. Dudes... sc2 is WAY harder. BW skill floor is way higher but SC2 skill ceiling is noticebly higher than BW's as well. Don't let your inner F rank Bronze heroes fool you on this and don't fail to recognize the big difference between skill floor and skill ceiling. The most skilled sc2 players are faster and more precise than any gamers out there. No wonder why they dominate in any e-sport they go if they migrate which can't be said as categorically for BW players; which are gods too, though, don't get me wrong

​​​@@Anubis1993KZWow, so easy that he dominated SC2 like he did with BW, right? Flash is an olympic god but Sc2 is just too fast. Also, if you really think that you can't outmacro your opponent in SC2 you're pretty much clueless. I'd bet Flash said that back in 2013 or smth when no one was really good at the game nor the strategy was any polished like nowadays.

SC2 has less dynamism, its mechanically far more similar amongst the top pros. You can vary in strategy but the mechanics are similar from pro to pro because of it being more user friendly. Also BW has more dynamic map rotation in high level play. In my opinion there are few ways to consider it more dynamic, its far more focused on extreme macro and cutting edge timings because of its increased speed. BW has much more room for maneuverability at the user control level, makes it more interesting to watch.

@@avanhokie Watch Clem playing Terran and then watch Gumiho. Enough said.

I haven't found it interested in years so I'm not going to do that, but are you really going to tell me its more diverse than the play between BW pros like Mini, Snow, Bisu or Best as protoss for example? Those guys aren't playing remotely the same at the top level and you can often tell without a name who it is likely to be within a couple minutes of gameplay. This extends far below the top, its evident in the high level foreigner scene as well, nobody will ever confuse the way Bonyth plays with Dewalt, etc.@@keizan5132

i find sc2 more cancerous. its also not aging well. and has too many hero units.

I think there's a cream for that now.

That's funny, I find SC2 unwatchable. I can barely tell what I'm looking at half the time.

@@abstractdaddy1384 It's just muddy-looking deathballs

BW is beautiful, wdym?
