*Plays Starcraft 2

I dont really get what the hype is about this game. I played starcraft back in the day and it was pretty great, but a shitload of RTS has hit the market mixing up the formula since then, like Dawn of War 2 with coversystems and squadbased tactics taking a large and much needed role. SC2 just seems like starcraft 1 with flashier graphics, am I missing something here? 
 
And no im not a hardcore Korean RTS player, obviously :)

i requested a day off, so i am covered!!! ;-)

i would love to, but i don't know what day its being delivered :p

I'm a grad student and our summer vacation here actually starts the day after SC2 comes out, it's pretty brilliant timing.

I still haven't understood what all the fuss is about StarCraft II, but I won't be one of those pulling a sicky to play it.
In fact, I probably won't end up playing it at all.

I'll have the week off, because tomorrow I am resigning.

I'm still in the middle of my summervecation :) although I will probably buy the game, finish the singleplayer campaign and give the game to my brother. I cannot possibly win against people who have been playing this game for 12 years. I stopped playing it in 1999.

Yeah, it's really not that bad. I played very little of SC and BW multiplayer, as I was always probably the worst player out of all my IRL friends so I got destroyed every time we played. I went from turtling with cannons and teching to carriers, to a player who ONLY massed Dragoons, to a somewhat below-average Terran player after watching some SlayerS_Boxer replays, but I stopped shortly after that.
 
And yet I'm finding decent success at SC2. I was put into Bronze league after my placement matches in phase 1, where I only played around 10 games total before the beta went down. In phase 2, I was placed into Silver and actually had a better than .500 record, to the point where I was being pitted against players in the Gold, Plat and Diamond leagues. A lot of that had to do with watching a lot of Day[9] dailies I believe, as it really tightened up my play. Getting a build order down, making sure money stays low, not getting supply blocked, etc, so I strongly agree with neozephyrox.
 
Anyways... I work an early shift tomorrow, so I will be able to attend the midnight launch of SC2 no problem. But I do have work the following day (and all the rest of the week as well =/), so my playtime will be somewhat limited. *sigh*
