StarCraft II<\/strong> is the biggest RTS esport<\/strong> title published by Blizzard Entertainment. Successor to the original StarCraft\/Brood War games, Starcraft 2 continued the storyline of the the Terrans, Zergs and Protoss<\/strong> and added a whole new twist to the competitive scene. SC2 Esports<\/strong> is still the only true RTS competition<\/strong> with a stable established scene and weekly tournaments throughout the year. Thanks to continuous updates by the developers and a committed esports scene, this title remains one of the core esports betting markets today.<\/p>\n

StarCraft II Gameplay and Modes<\/h2>\n

KNOW THE RACES, KNOW THE STORY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Starcraft II\u2019s<\/strong> gameplay offers some choice to players stating to build up their base. SCVs, probes and drones can build any number of the general buildings available to the player. Although each playable race has a different set of structures at their command, they all have a similar function.<\/p>\n

While the Terrans<\/strong> serve as the protagonist race in StarCraft II<\/strong>, multiplayer games<\/strong> offer a wider choice. There are three total playable races in the game, each with its own unique style, structures and units. The individual units controlled by each race are designed to counter popular tactics of other races, resulting in a fairly balanced game regardless of races played.<\/p>\n

TERRAN<\/h3>\n

Descendants of an Earth<\/strong> expedition gone wrong, the Terran\u2019s<\/strong> are StarCraft\u2019s<\/strong> version of humans. Their units are set up to overwhelm their foes with massive amounts of firepower. This kind of all-guns-blazing approach works perfectly when they\u2019re facing down a horde of Zerg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Terrans<\/strong> are described as \u201cthe masters of survival\u201d, mainly because of ancient lore telling how the Terran\u2019s<\/strong> managed to continue reproducing despite being native to a barren planet with hardly any resources. Their Widow Mines are constantly utilised in high-stakes gameplay, as they have the ability to hide from opposing players on the map, and the Terran\u2019s<\/strong> also have access to some seriously scary mechanical warriors.<\/p>\n

ZERG<\/h3>\n

The Zerg<\/strong> were one of the antagonist races of the original StarCraft<\/strong> game, and focus more on their numbers than their firepower. Hardly intelligent, these monsters dogmatically follow the orders of a single \u201cOvermind\u201d, and fuse to halt their endless march until they have conquered \u2013 or assimilated \u2013 the entire universe.<\/p>\n

The Zerg Swarm<\/strong> does not use weapons or armour in their fight \u2013 rather, they mutate their own bodies to fit the need of the swarm. This unlocks abilities and functions as the player progresses with his Zerg army<\/strong>, which goes some way to replacing the heavy machine guns they could be holding. Sure, it may sound like the Zerg<\/strong> stand very little chance up against a heavily armored Terran tank<\/strong>, but their later mutations \u2013 the Brood Lord<\/strong> springs to mind \u2013 are gigantic beasts of war and are well capable to make more than a dint in the armor of any opponent.<\/p>\n

PROTOSS<\/h3>\n

The big bad guys, the world eaters, the mastermind antagonists of the whole Starcraft series so far is the Protoss<\/strong>. They are a race of exceptionally advanced beings who combine unimaginable technology with psionic powers on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

The Protoss<\/strong> (a.k.a. Firstborn) were considered to be the most powerful beings in the Galaxy, until the Zerg<\/strong> invaded their home world. The desperation of the Protoss though has made them probably the most powerful race of all in StarCraft II universe<\/strong> \u2013 each individual Protoss soldier could definitely kill any other equal singular combat unit. Their fleet is insanely well developed, and once a Protoss<\/strong> player manages to fully upgrade their technology, it\u2019s their game to lose. Some of their ship units \u2013 Phoenix, Void Ray, Mothership \u2013 are basically unmatched in the StarCraft II gameplay<\/strong>, and have the ability to completely decimate entire legions of standard troops.<\/p>\n
