FPS skill is literally correlated with skill whilst MOBAs and other RTS have it correlated to IQ. Creating an aimbot is so easy compared to what they've had to do with DotA and Starcraft. It quite literally takes much more resources to replicate decision making. Now deciding when to push and angle and choosing which direction to kite in or to evade in or whether to heal, now that's something worth talking about.

      @@YT7mc this is more of an argument for the ceiling being higher in Starcraft than it is in physical sports. The ceiling in most world record events have been reached, and the margins that they get broken by are so small that they're generally more attributable to advances in technology than increased physical prowess. Swimming records broken because suits are less resistant and lighter. Running shoes are leaps and bounds better than they were years ago. In almost every sport the theoretical ceiling has either been hit, or is very close. No matter how hard you train, the human body has physical limitations. No amount of training or god-tier genetics will make someone run 40mph. However, the ceiling in Starcraft has continued to be pushed by every generation in some new way. Even after two decades we're not even close to the ceiling that people can reach in Starcraft and the game is still evolving today. It is the literal embodiment of real time chess, the game is so incredibly deep that reaching the absolute peak will probably never happen.

      Yes. Considering a lot of people may have experience with sc2 and possibly other, newer rts games (by the way, if you've played wc3 and thought it has bad pathing/control, sc1 is like that, but much worse. In terms of how fluid and easy to use the control scheme is, sc2 is to wc3 what wc3 is to sc1) and not brood war, it can be hard to understand how insane of a game brood war is - unit selection is limited to 12 units, you can't select multiple buildings at once, pathing is atrocious (if you really want to see how deep it goes, check out the video "StarCraft: Brood War Pathfinding and Micro with Day[9]
      "), but with more involved control, can be improved. I'm not even remotely experienced in BW, I just played it a little when I was younger and I know how hard BW made it to do what sc2's control scheme made so simple.

      But ffs, getting my Dragoons over a long bridge in one of the protoss missions was one of the hardest things I ever had to do in a RTS and there wasn't even an enemy.

This is an on-going tournament in Korea so you can get in on the action--though that link isn't the of the most recent games, it's just my favorite day of the ro. 16 so far with a lot of matchup variety. Highly recommend trying it out. The commentary is actually incredibly well done--Tastosis have been casting games in Korea for over a decade. I cannot stress how accessible and entertaining it is. Whenever it's in season, my 65 year old Dad and I watch it every night--believe me he is not a gamer, but he loves the commentary and the game.
      As for the scene and game itself, like Melee it's still living, changing, and brilliant. Literally last week, a new way to micro (manipulate the movement and attack) carriers was discovered increasing their DPS in some situations by like 70%. Last tournament, Flash played as RANDOM for the tournament and made it to the round of 4 just for kicks; but this year Flash just joined the military for his required two-year service and there are like 5 viable candidates to win the tournament now (sorry not-sorry Queen fans).
      Also, not-much offense to Big A, but calling a game in 2010 "The Last Game" is kinda cringe. It's basically like leaving the Melee scene after Brawl and then calling RoM "The Last Tournament." Just... just NO.
      TL;DR! Link to some exciting games of the current tournament. The commentary is so good my 65 year old Dad watches it. Scene is still very, very alive--even the foreign one.

    i was actually there with a bunch of other fans from TeamLiquid for that proleague finals. i may have been there with you, Atrioc. Flash was supposed to be the one to bring victory to KT, but he lost his first match against Fantasy in an INSANE TvT matchup. despite that, he volunteered himself for the ace match. he literally told the coach "i have to carry this burden" because HE WAS THE BEST SC PLAYER ON THE PLANET. this was despite the map having a crazy imbalanced PvT winrate for the protoss (think Protoss had like 80% winrate). thats why the loss was so painful for Flash because he lost 2 games in one day when throughout the rest of the season he would MAYBE lose ONE game every 2 months, and that ended up costing the team the Proleague championship.
    to an outsider, what Atrioc is saying may sound like exaggeration from an overly excited fan, but trust me, Starcraft IS the hardest game out there.
    like, the best of the best players can literally tell what build you are going for just from counting how many workers you have, or whether you have 2 attacking units or 3. or if your building timing is 10 seconds off, they immediately compute that and lay out like 5 possible build orders or strategies that you may be attempting. they are THAT. GOOD. and you need more than just complete understanding of the game down to the second to get good. you need to physically keep up with high APM (usually in the 300s) to be in the A/S tier. players have literally sweated in air-conditioned booths playing a single game for 40 minutes.

      He has not been dethroned stats and career numbers wise. But there are most definitely players that are in better shape that can beat him on a consistent basis right now like snow and soulkey. He was out for mandatory military service and has injuries because Terran is the most taxing race on the wrists. Aging absolutely does affect your performance and that has not been disproven, dont know why you'd argue otherwise, starcraft is not just being smarter than the other player, you physically have to be able to keep up and be able to put in the hours to stay in shape. @@mgs85

    A Norwegian tv-documentary was even made about Slayer, real name Fredrik Østervold. Which was aired in 2000. I saw that on TV as a 9 year old at the time and that's what got me into Starcraft. You can find it subtitled on youtube in glorious 240p
