Yeah, Starcraft II is as competitive or more than the original Starcraft. The introduction of the ladder means more players play SCII competitively, and the pro scene is just as good, if not better. Here's the commentary for the final match of the last in person tournament in SC2 [0]. Starcraft II did a lot of things to make controlling the game easier (Reassignable hotkeys, being able to select larger armies, screen position hotkeys). This made it easier for new players to get into the game, but the pro players were just able to find new ways to use their precious attention and keyboard presses and the skill ceiling remains as high as brood war.
