Starcraft 2 - worth buying?

[Frag]

You can play offline, and it's like SC1 but a lot more accommodating to me, Eppie.

As for the macro vs micro thing, Lenny, I believe they've nailed it from a neophyte perspective. Much like coming to the Lounge for D1, Basin for D2, EJ for WoW, I've been using Team Liquid's site for SC2 and found there is a nice balance between some of the best players in the world. Some are amazing at macro (IrdA), some at micro (BigT) and some at flex/aggressiveness (Davie) and all of them win large amounts of games. The races seem to be setup to give a natural advantage to a players natural preference. Zerg for macro, Protoss for micro and Terran for aggressive-flex. With the bracket system, I feel like the only games I've lost so far are games I could have won (strongly unlike in BW & WC3) and that's a huge deal for someone so bad at RTS's and my lack of ingame experience. I have no doubt I could be missing some things, but my impressions so far is that they busted their brains to come up with a perfect product and didn't do half shabby in that attempt.
