CS players were laughed at by QW players and probably will be forever. Anyone saying otherwise either wasn't around then or is doing some serious revisionist history.
CS was the LoL of it's time oooooo I said it. |

Neg
Quake players were just feebly minded retards who thought faster pace meant superior.
CS was the perfect mix of strategy, team work, and aim/speed.
Quake was just who could shoot the fastest and most accurately with a little map strategy that a 5 year old could understand. It was just a FPS for kids who couldn't think their way out of a wet paper bag.
CS players laughed at the clearly mentally challenged meth raging quake kids. |

yea just like boxer and nada showed us... oh wait.

lol, the best player to switch from bw to sc2, at the time was MVP. this is his profile for bw http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/players/590_MVP He was not that impressive of a bw player with 40% winrate, and i think a peak rating of 2072.
when boxer/nada switched over they were pretty much retired, and in the bottom half of bw pro's in terms of elo ranking.
While flash has a peak rating of 2443. it's simple fact that if flash switched over he would destroy everyone.
neastea was also known for being laughably bad for a bw pro. http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/players/29_NesTea
pretty much all the top sc2 players that played bw are playing sc2 because they couldn't get a good contract playing bw, because they sucked. |

why is SC2 hated by BW players?
someone also mentioned the winrates being much lower in SC2 than BW, why is this the case? |

Because any scrub can luckbox a win against a top player. SC2 has more variance and doesn't allow better players to be as dominate as in BW. |

Both games required crazy amount of skills to be top top. Though being top UT player, was insane. Just plain crazy skills. |

Because pretty much everyone here spent many years supporting the esport/gaming industry from buying products, playing games, attending events etc. and watching what these scenes are being turned into is like a kick in the balls.
Its like if you were to support a pokersite by playing on their software and paying rake etc then finding out that they stole your deposit and you cant cashout. |

CS required a totally different skill to dueling games.
Its not surprising that your favorite FPS is Battlefield. |

You played Ultima Online didn't you byrnesam (and for anyone else here who played)? I remember spending an hour taming for the 'power hour' (outside of this hour after a certain level you wouldn't gain if you trained) or whatever it was called just to get a 0.1% increase in skill. Sometimes you wouldn't get anything. Wandering the ice lands trying to tame snow leopards or whatever they had been renamed.

Yeh i was a huge UO degen for quite a while. I never played on the official shard, I played on a small private free to play shard that was brutal for learning to play the game because you would get PKed non-stop. That non-stop element of danger made the game so much fun. Setting up macros to train skills and just doing that hour on end waiting for that glorious light blue *Your skill in Swordsmanship has increased by 0.1% and is now 88.5%*
UO had so much customization, it was so sick how many skill combos were available.
edit: I wouldnt say UO was all that skilled, but it was certainly more hardcore than MMOs today which are designed to keep you subscribing for eternity and making you agree to a fight before you get to PvP someone. |

UO was siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick good, probably then #1 game so far on earth. I only played on a freeshard aswell, I remember I my heart used to explode whenever some scary red guy popped up on the screen when I was traveling and shit, I had some serious passion for that game.
Same thing goes for the first months of Darkfall Online was supersick aswell, very very fun until people had high magic skill and the game died. Hopefully we will see a much better version of a similar game in the future! |

Whoa, pretty cool. Obv for those people saying BW was so much harder than LoL- as someone who plays among all the pros (and is top .2% of the gaming community) I have to say that it definitely is mechanically easier to be good at LoL than SC. That being said, this game is easy to understand and hard to master; even now I'm going through a lot of minor adjustments understanding the flow of the game and how to play it out to a victory. |
