Nah I posted it here because it's not like he's switching lol, he's just checking it out and I think it would be cool to see a great BW player come over. That's all ^^; | ||

C'mon Leta, switch over!! I wanna see a real BW talent come over and spank MC around with his left hand while blindfolded and taking a poop. I mean, Leta is solid A-class and has never had good fortune in the individual leagues and has always carried crappy team league teams... it's time he made some real money out of his career  | ||

Well maybe its not only about the money. Sc2 is international while BW is limited to Korea. I would get somewhat jealous of MC flying around the world. Oh well who knows what he or CJ is up to. Edit: Wasnt Puma on hite SPARKYZ with Leta. ? oh well maybe the NASL money got him somewhat interested ^^ | ||

Maybe he wants to meet foreigners? or if he want to watch competitive sc2, why not just go to gsl studio instead. Or maybe his house/dorm is near the GOM house? | ||

the only reason BW pros wont switch is that BW A team run by salary and SC2 is running mostly by prize pool. | ||

Also, gratz on 1337 post ^_^ Yeah I mean obviously the competitive scene might not be as developped as bw/sc2, but imagine the effect of a player of Stork caliber switching ? The whole korean scene might be tempted to follow, especially as Angry Birds has a much larger playerbase than bw or even sc2 I believe. Wouldn't it be sick to watch a stream of Stork playing angry birds ? Wouldn't you watch ? I'd do. | ||

And yes, he went 2-port banshee in his first game. Should have seen his face light up when he realized he could have multiple buildings selected at once! | ||

He even tweet to congrat scfOu or leenock after some of their wins in GSL... the only reason BW pros wont switch is that BW A team run by salary and SC2 is running mostly by prize pool. That's not the only reason why pros won't switch. Some won't switch because of the money yes, but some actually like playing BW. And regarding Zero, he has a number of friends/former teammates who are now SC2 pros. Same as other BW players. I don't see what the big deal is. | ||

Leta would be the very very last person I would expect to switch to sc2. He is one of the few progamers who truly shows a ton of passion when he wins a big game (or loses). His reaction after beating flash in the playoffs said it all. he was so happy. | ||

Stork is known for not practicing as much as other BW pros and playing WoW and Angry Birds instead--it's not like "switching" for him. | ||

I don't think it's "desperate" though. Just curiosity. its really this. Considering how good a lot of ex bw progamers are and how good they are doing at sc2, I would really like to see a top S class from bw eventually switch over just to see if they do as good as I feel they could. But I also don't want that to happen because I do love watching bw still so its almost like it would be cool but lame at the same time :/. | ||

On the possibility that the BW scene collapses, then it would be better for the players to be familiar with the alternative game than be completely left in the dark. | ||
