Pro Gamers - Team Liquid - Give Their Gameplay Impressions
Nov. 14
I often don't link to or report on anything pro StarCraft related because for one, I'm more of a casual player, and two, I feel most people reading OMGStarCraft or Gamepro are casual gamers as well. Sure we all have our competitive sides, and I love to get on Battle.net and pound the snot out of some whiny 12-year old with my siege tanks as much as the next person. But I've never played any game for money and I have no trophies or ribbons to show either.
Alas, these opinions out of the pro StarCraft community are interesting and serve a purpose for any StarCraft fan that reads this blog. These impressions are detailed, informative, and sure to wet your appetite.
This is long. Really Long. While we tried to stay away from balance discussion, it inevitably comes up and this piece was no different. Please keep in mind that many of the complaints or issues people had will be fixed through the beta so they are hardly detrimental - the review build that we played was already out of date by the first day of blizzcon.
Read what Chill, Zatic, SpiralArchitect, Plexa, intrigue and NeoIllusions think about StarCraft 2 after the jump.
You will also notice that most of the writers have varying opinions on each of the races, mechanics etc. While discontinuous, this should be considered a good thing - having variations in thought shows that there are no longer as many clear cut "issues" and that significant progress has been made even since BWWI Paris. There is quite a bit of material here to digest so read through and we hope this gives you a well rounded feeling for the direction Starcraft 2 is taking.

Staying tuned for all the upcoming news. Wanna thank you, guys for the great work you've done and are to do =)
suggested hardware specs? cool... finally get to know if my laptop will run this... hoping it will... would rather not have to buy a new computer to play it...
There's nothing to worry about cus' the game will be well optimized, it's Blizzard after all.
Thanks Barney, I appreciate it.
