I'm actually sort of picking it back up, mostly because one of my friends is moving across the country and we'll probably start to play this. I definitely follow the pro scene, though the last month I've watched a lot less games for various reasons.
Anyone with an interest in either starcraft or watching esports should really just pay for season of GSL if they haven't already |

GSL is GOMTV's league, universally acknowledged as the best SC2 tournament in the world both from a competition and production value standpoint. Each tournament lasts a couple months, and every match is cast live in English by on-set, GOM employed casters (if you've heard of any SC2 casting team, you've heard of Tasteless and Artosis, who do GSL's Code S). The format is fairly complicated, but easily the best format I've seen for an esports league.
It just so happens this season's finals are tonight, so if you'll be awake in 7 and a half hours you can catch the crappy quality free broadcast |

I should have a beta key soon tooooooo~~~~
I keep wanting to commit to getting good at this game, but I can barely commit to getting up in the morning. Even with my pretty terrible mechanics it should be possible to get low masters with something approaching dedication. One day! |

I think the main reason for this belief, which is fairly common (keep in mind I am a bad SC2 player and a completely awful BW player, but I at least Know Some Things), is because SC2 is a faster game. BW is mechanically more difficult, obviously, but the battles are slower and the pace is more deliberate (and the AI is way dumber). so your army isn't getting annihilated if you look away from it for a second, and smaller groups of well controlled units can play a bigger role than they do in SC2. things like siege tanks and mutalisks were also way better in BW, so you could make things happen with groups of units that would get swarmed over in SC2. |
