I haven't played much Starcraft but the thing that makes Go endlessly fascinating is the dynamic behavior of groups and the fact that a single stone placed on one end of the board can instantly & completely reverse the fortunes of stones on the other end of the board. Is anything similar possible in Starcraft?

Yeah, I won a game earlier tonight because I kept a scout in his base, which he didn't notice, and was able to respond immediately to his tactics, allowing me to use minimal forces to great effect.
Although I won, technically my play was sloppy because I didn't have to utilize all of my resources to wrap up the game.
Things don't go to the extremes of Go in SC2, but the dynamic is still there.
