[quote name="Monty Cantsin"][quote name="Senor Barborito"]Here's the problem with the Korean gameplayers on Blizzard.Net - they were first to champion the reduction of Blizzard's simplistic <i>rock/paper/scissors</i> game mechanics down to mindless algorithm execution. Rote algorithm execution is <b>NOT</b> strategy - chess is strategy. The point at which a game loses any intellectual appeal from explorations of positional combinations and devolves into unabashed clicking of buttons in a certain predetermined sequence as quickly as possible is the point at which the game has ceased to be fun in an objective and inarguable sense.[/quote] Luckily for us, your basic premise is testable by looking at the documentation of high level games and tournament play. If what you say is true, than these games should all look basically the same, use the same units, build orders, expansion schedules, and end up with a monotonous fight in the middle whose outcome is determined by slight numerical advantage brought about by better resource optimization. I checked, they don't look like that.
