I love watching BAR multiplayer games but definitely felt a bit overwhelmed in the midgame with this one. How anyone can comprehend a 40v40 in real time is beyond me haha. I guess it's just a muscle to build.

Looking forward to a break where I can get into BAR, I've been utterly nerdsniped. Uthermal's VODs are good stuff [1].

I think that's the point of those massive RTS games, your attention is like a resource you must manage

It isn’t only massive RTS. In 1v1 Brood War attention is also a resource.

More and more repitition. You get better at recognizing familiar scenarios and employing an effective measure without thinking about it too much.

Early skill curve can be rough. Recommend playing 8v8 noob lobbies pvp or against bots to learn.
