I think I just described 80% of PvZ games
Not enough Adepts.
My personal favorite at 4100 mmr is the Adept harass into more Adept harass into mass Adept/Phoenix to ensure that literally no unit I produce will be sufficient to take an engagement if their harass was even somewhat successful at inflicting real economic damage.
But if I defend the harass well enough, the Protoss at this level are still bad enough to lose to mostly ling/bane with Muta contain on a superior economy.
I was a true junkie in high school, so it's possible I've sunk more actual playtime into SC and BW than anyone else ITT, but this is not going to "revive" the Brood War scene for anyone.
While I get there are people who play BW and prefer it over SC2, those people are and will continue playing it with updated sprites or not.
This was a great way for Blizzard to cash in on an old beloved franchise, but the sizzle is going to be gone in a week.
A dejected, "Oh yeah, I forgot that _____________" will be the most uttered sentence for most people who buy SCR, and they'll maybe replay the campaign, lose some games on BGH, and call it a fun weekend.
I still have ~$2400 in Blizzard Bucks to spend, so I'll certainly add it to the collection, but Brood War gameplay hasn't aged well for the casuals.
