Starcraft II - NASL going strong, thread going strong

Hi ! I was pretty excited when StarCraft II came out ! But for some reasons, I didn't buy it :/
I just wanted to know, does it worth it ? Because I restarted playing some warcraft III RoC and The frozen Throne, it's still fun even if it's mega old

So, as I am an old player of warcraft III and StarCraft I, (Old, but I suck haha) I wanted to know if it's worth buying. Or if I should buy StarCraft I again (My dog literally eat my copy of it <_<)

Thanks

I've been laddering a lot and used up my bonus pool, and I went from silver to plat in about a week

I'd say all the time I've spent watching the GSL, Day[9] Dailys, and streams on TL has paid off. Also, switching to toss probably helped, I can't play as patiently as Terran has to in the late game.

@Ralph54
I'd definitely get SC2 over BW. Its only really the hardcore BW players who haven't moved over to SC2, but SC2 is much better for the casual gamer, its got easier mechanics, better graphics and more people playing.

There are plenty of UMS/custom maps in SC2, in fact SC2's map editor allows for a much much wider variety of custom games inside of SC2's engine then brood war ever could have. Remember this game came a good deacde after it's first game. :p

There are a million TD games, I really don't see the big appeal of them...

I really wanted Jinro to win, but oh well...go MVP! I think MKP is a hack whose style won't last long due to the predictability of it. Marines can only get you so far, buddy.

And how exactly is that bad argument? your argument was that his rage is justified because his race is less likely to win, but he was known for being a jerk who raged all the time (APOLOGIZE TO ME FOR PLAYING THAT RACE!) before SC2 and therefore "imbalance" was any issue..I fail to see where my argument is bad. I have nothing but respect for Idra's talent at the game, he just needs an attitude adjustment.

Also, if there's anyone who understands rage at video games, it's me, so it's not like I don't understand the rage, but he needs to NOT BE BAD MANNERED before I respect him fully. The rage itself has very little to do with why i dislike him.

IdrA has really calmed himself down in the last 6 months or so. I've always enjoyed his playstyle and I didn't mind the BM so much just because it added some variety into the community (if everyone just solemnly typed out gg every game and went on their merry way, life would be boring). I can understand why people wouldn't hop on that bandwagon though.

But recently you see very little BM. He still complains about balance here and there (his Artosis interview was proof of that), but he makes less bold games and doesn't usually insult the integrity of players (unless it's someone like bitbybit who deserves it). And now he's doing the whole production thing with streaming at night and taking questions, I dunno. It's pretty cool, I think he's maturing a bit now that he's had some success and he's figuring out that fans are worth having. If nothing else, it's been an interesting transition to watch.

I love catching people off guard by attacking with nothing but marines. Marines are definitely, financially-speaking, the best unit in the game

I read on Team Liquid they were adding some new maps and modified some others for the team leagues. Sounds very interesting to me
