I feel InControL will be the next American Professional gamer on a KeSPA team for Starcraft 2. Watching this(sc2 streams) is showing me that his backstabbing, macro style of play which will incorporate harass, with zerglings, and hydralisks to bear the brunt of the force. Though he may lack in his multi-tasking and micromanagement in SC1, his style of play is perfectly suited for SC2 greatness. He has a great mind for the game, is a veteran in the community, and has seen many strategical situations not only in starcraft, but also in real life, which will help him to transition to that style of life in south korea. he will also be intimidating to any asian person who wouldn't dare to say an ill word to him for fear of their life.

thoughts?

I dunno. The biggest issue with foreigners in Korea seems to be the culture clash. If he can adapt to their style of life then maybe he has a chance.

Also, would Anna let him? Girlfriends are the bane of pro starcraft players.

he will also be intimidating to any asian person who wouldn't dare to say an ill word to him for fear of their life.

its impossible to predict whos going to be top of sc2. There will be such an influx of players. The top players of sc1 should be around the top near the beginning due to sheer RTS game smarts but I really hope new people figure shit out and become great. Also I hope sc2 in America is huge. I think there's a chance it will be if sc2 is any good.

I don't think I understand why your reasons support your main argument... He plays backstabbing macro style? Wtf is backstabbing style?
1) that is not a supporting reason for why he will be a progamer.
2) neither is anything else you said.

Sorry to come across as harsh or something but it simply makes no sense.
Oh no

it helps tactical, harassing, macro style players... and by backstabbing with like 8 lings and 2 hydras... the type of shit he does to harass while he macros hard.

it feels like more a macro players game, and the type of game that someone who is very tactical can be good at. i expect idra to be really good at it.

But "being a macro player" and "attacking with 8 lings and 2 hydras" is not iNcontrol-only behaviour... So why does this make him more likely than anyone else to be pro?
Oh no

I think I am going to be much better at SC2 than I ever was at SCBW. Do with that what you will.. but I appreciate the vote of confidence I am going to work as hard as I can to make you right!

Anna is in full support btw. Also I am not great at poker and I have nothing like college or something to get in the way. Once my cpu gets here, and SOMEONE comes through on my key I am going to unleash a fury on this SC2 world.

did you get a free lesson for this blog or something, it just seems kind of narrow minded and blind? I don't know, I'm all for support of our foreigners dominating sc2, this just seems out of the blue

i should probably add im a fan of inc, i just couldnt see ever just randomly wanted to make a blog like this, im curious
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

No, I mean, I felt like him playing Z in BW would translate well in that he would have good army sense into splitting his units into subgroups and not keeping them into a giant ball to which he would lose it to splash damage.

Since he has chosen to play Protoss, I will actually rescind my former statement. Protoss balls suck..
