Cause it makes everything easier (not just talking about SC applications). 3 extra buttons work wonders.

^if im going to be using the mouse for browsing, i need the 4th and 5th buttons for forward and back pages

also i play a bit of wow as well and those buttons are pretty game breaking

is the eSPOT sc2 tourny hardcore?
i dont mind going and test my skills :P

Don't compare real sports to e-sports.
The physical advantage men have over women is eliminated in e-sports.

lol, I use keyboard shortcuts to go forward and backward on my browser.
But in think for SC in particular, I only use 2 buttons... maybe the middle button for scrolling in chat.

The only time I actually use more than 3 is when I play FPS.
Only because I like to assign my side button as aim toggle. I like to leave my right click as melee, so both "offense" actions are on the mouse.

is it just me or did all the real pros come back to sc2?

lost 5 in a row before finally getting 1 win. :cry:

All the pro's from SC1 and many from Warcraft are now playing SC2... What race to you play?

Berz out.

anyone else still play? character id 835

them zergies caught on to the banshee rushes :(

1v1 has gotten really repetitive for me..
any new fun ums games out?

havent touched sc2 for months.... can't believe i bought 2 accounts (one for my gf)

been playing 1v1 a lot lately...
terran ftw... :)

i'm in the same boat as you haha

Anyone playing the dota like custom game Star Battle? I just started playing a few days ago and find it pretty addicting.

ya..

that game is awesome when I don't feel like laddering.

that game is :fullofwin:

two accounts too? lol

in house anyone >?

With SC1 I played it a TON... with SC2 I dont know... just hasnt had that lasting appeal for me... maybe because I'm 29 now and not a teenager but it just isnt the same. I ended up selling my WoW account with my SC2 obviosuly attached to it and I doubt ill end up buying SC2 again...

The wait for Diablo 3 is on.

^ Buy a new computer and the awesome graphics makes it that much better....;)

I do have a new pc that I built in September. Game looks good yes... But the repetitive game play just has me bored. I'm in diamond too so it's not that I suck at the game by any means.

The new patch is awesome. Loving it, the chat system made it so much better and my phoenix build will dominate twice as hard now.
