Starcraft 2 beta just came out one week ago, and even if it's just the beta, its already better then many other games I've played in the past 4 years, with the exception of Warcraft 3.

As always, Blizzard did a wonderful job and the game looks very nice. After I’ve played like 300 games, I think they still need to work on balance: roaches are a bit too powerful, the zerg can expand very fast and you can’t rush his expand or make yourself an expand, no matter if u play protoss or terran, you got the same problem vs zerg.

I always heard a lot of players saying wc3 is easier to play compared to sc1; I think they are wrong because in sc1 and sc2 there is no item luck , no critical luck and no damage luck, things that sometime reduce the skill gap between two players (obviously the more skilled player being disadvantaged).

Playing Warcraft 3 at a high level for a long time, and now switching to Starcraft 2, I see sc2 fitting my style better then wc3 did, even if I played sc2 only for a short time. I think sc2 will be better in terms of balance, so it has a lot of potential. Any gamer from sc1 to wc3, who will work hard, and won’t cry about stuff like "this game is so easy to play that anyone can go pro”, or getting too obsessed with balance issues, has a chance to get in top.

To sum up, I think that Starcraft 2 is a great game, that will give a huge boost to the e-sport scene in next years.
