When this game first came out I refused to play it because its balance was so much worse than SC1. I just tried playing it for the first time today, because my friend convinced me. He trains with plat level players, but his account is pretty new, so he's just pulling out of silver now into gold, but he beats top 20 golds err-day. Stupid cheesers trying to all in with roaches and shit like that.
Anyway, I still think the game isn't as good as the first one, tactics-wise, with things like medivac/marine/marauder being a lot more powerful than even hydra mill was in SC1. So yeah, I'll play a bit, but fuck this game. It's packed with cheese and shit, and the Terran race is far too powerful in competitive play.
