Been engrossed with the WCS and GSL lately. Super stoked to see Serral take the WCS Trophy! Really been enjoying some of the GSL series. Really exciting games and a lot of new strategies.
The games always hype me up to go play but as I am in a bit of a lackluster internet situation at the moment I'll have to get by with watching. Hopefully I'll be a little bit better setup next week!
So, any of you up for a game if I can online? The game is free to play now if you don't have it and wanted to try! I'll play 1v1, 2v2, Arcade, Campaign, really anything idgaf. I'm not amazing or anything, I hover around Gold/Silver and would probably be a little rusty.
Never got into Starcraft. I used to play Age of Empires 2. Even watched some high-level tournaments. I was never a big fan of the emphasis on micromanagement in competitive RTS games, though (which is also why I never got into MOBAs). It seems to mostly be about who can click the fastest to exploit small glitches or gain small advantages.
AoE is a classic. Great game. It took me a little bit to get into Starcraft because of exactly the same reason! There is micromanagement but it does go alongside macro gameplay. It took me a while to really understand how to play the game. The learning curve for me was a beast. But I can say that Blizzard really has their ranking system worked out though! It didn't take many matches to get put in a reasonably competitive bracket when I started.
