sad that it won't come out this year :/

I wonder who they build these games for. Could they ever have foreseen SC multiplayer balance extending to the pro gamer levels and did they balance for that?
Watching those pro gamer videos from last week just blew my mind.
In 1998? I was amazed that SC balanced 3 completely different factions and playstyles... that all of that has held up even at 500 operations of input a minute from some players just seems inconceivable to me.
With SC2, who are they balancing for? The general populace so that they may enjoy single player and competitive multiplayer or for the absolute extremes of competition?-
It seems like they'll just take the same approach... Design for the masses and let the few insane players take it to the next level. I just hope everything's as balanced as the first one was.

Yeah, but it's one thing to balance for perfect play versus a bunch of average joes getting together and things still working out.

It's most likely a huge compromise to appease the new or casual RTS gamer and the Pro SC gamer. Blizzard is always about reaching the largest potential market. Yet they also know their hardcore target market, the already established RTS lovers, and the Pro Korean leagues.
I'm sure their balance and design meets are quite interesting. -

Well we know that's not going to be true with the way the toys they've already shown work. It's not a complete revision, the Zerg will still be cheap and swarm, Terrans will still entrench and be mobile, and Protoss will be expensive micromanagement... but I bet 30% of the game will feel different.

I'm not questioning them, I have immense faith in them. It's just something I'm curious about, not that it's perfect, but it one of those things that an army of economists and engineers couldn't get so right.
