[Pick]

I don't care who wins. Just hope we get to see the game.

umm.. SC2 is a faster paced game than BW, units can go over cliffs, meaning chokes will be less important. BW is really based on choke and position, where it will totally change in SC2, and since War3 players are already used to attacking multiple fronts while creeping, they could be focused at 3-4 places at a time (split creeping and harassing) which is almost impossible for any BW pro to do (least do and maintain it well, only afew special people can like Jaedong). Of course, the micro will be easier in SC2, but still War3 players have the mindset to deal with more action, theres not gonna be 50% of the game just attack moving and sitting in your base pressing T on your factories like in BW, this will be all out harassing from 3-4 sides at a time, something SC players never deal with.

And I keep stressing, most War3 pros, are at a semi-pro and above level on SC also. Moon could win Courage in 1 month of practice, if he hasnt already won it before (I know he was amazing at SC but I dunno how extensive he went) and im sure many other top players can easily make the transition. There is nothing in SC2 that they will not already know how to do, other than learning the game itself, which BW players have to do also.

SC2 favors aggression, not sitting in your base making 3/3 terran ball.

While I would say that there's an argument to be made for that, we have hardly seen enough SC2 play to make such a statement one way or another. It's certainly entirely possible to sit in your base and turtle, if that's what you want to do. And, due to the higher mobility in SC2, it's very possible to both turtle and effectively harass, defying any containment.

Flash-style play may well be possible, but it would look rather different than just turtling until you get upgrades and then moving out onto the map. Also, since the +1 upgrades come from Tech Labs, Terrans have a real opportunity to make specialized upgrade-based timing attacks. Double-armory-style builds come more naturally.

Do you realize you sound like a asshole?
Do you realize that discussing is different than arguing?

It seems your the one that's trying to be a smart-ass here, you could ignored my somewhat off topic post but you chose to jump into a argument but oh yeah they happen often so its perfectly ok. Im mostly referring to the typical SaharaDrac arguments that where going on a few pages back and a few other post..its not like something amazing out of the ordinary is going on in this thread. I just you know felt like posting, kinda like how you felt like jumping down my throat.

Anyway we are now the ones ruining this thread so this is my last post on the subject.

He's banned for continuously derailing threads with his incessant, juvenile attempts to insult me.
