Apparently Leta is over at the gom house and has been playing/watching some SC2! Would be really cool to see him switch over! ;D

I think sc2 scene has good enough players so that they don't need to be so desperate for god tier players in bw imo

Haha, that's cool. Stomping Moletrap and DoA (2v1? Or in a row? dunno) after about 4 games of SC2.

And coaching from Oz I guess.

Carnac's right though, BW loyalists gonna be pissed (>,<)

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 ^^;

It's actually pretty cool to see someone of that caliber checking it out in his free time. Shows lesser animosity between the scenes on a pro level, but it sure as hell won't happen on the fan level, haha. DoA, Wolf, Moletrap and QXC must be having a blast.

Jesus, this is so cool. At least some top BW pro are showing interest in SC2. Actually I think this thread will get better regconition at BW section then in here since most people in SC2 forum probably have no idea who is Leta.

It would be terrible for Leta to switch to SC2.

Why would i want to watch good players play a substandard spectator game?

leta needs to switch and win the next 6 straight GSLs. He'd be far and away the best 'current' BW player to switch over. I would love to see what he could do in sc2.

Leta's wraith control + banshees will break the game into a million pieces.

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

More on topic: I actually laughed at

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 ^^

Most SC2 fans will always be naturally curious as to what an A/S class brood war player could actually come and do in SC2, until it actually happens. I don't think it's "desperate" though. Just curiosity.

Puma was a practice partner, Leta is legit BW pro

oo but why was he there actually? if he really just want to try out stuff he can try it from home as i'm sure a lot of pros have.

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?

leta is not the only BW pros who is following sc2 scene. Zero who got into the last star league final also follow sc2 closely if you keep track of his twitter. 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.

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.

Nothing really huge going on. Leta and Oz are friends and Oz is staying here atm. Leta came over and Oz showed him SC2. He played a couple games against us for fun and said he enjoyed playing the game. Nothing about switching, etc.

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!

Mef, as with all sucessful BW A-teamers, they'll stick to BW as long as they get paid, and being their team's ace, they sure get paid more than they would in SC2 (for now at least).

leta is not the only BW pros who is following sc2 scene. Zero who got into the last star league final also follow sc2 closely if you keep track of his twitter. 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.

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!



:o now you have to quit SC2

That 2-port banshee must have been epic.

Yeah, not a surprise to see some brood war players keep in touch with their former teammates/friends.

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.

I've heard that Stork was checking out WoW and angry bird, I whish he would switch game^^
I wish he could show us what a good bw pro can do in those games.

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 think sc2 scene has good enough players so that they don't need to be so desperate for god tier players in bw imo


Most SC2 fans will always be naturally curious as to what an A/S class brood war player could actually come and do in SC2, until it actually happens. 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 :/.

IIRC, Bisu and Savior played a very early version of SC2. BW pros aren't just BW pros, they're also gamers and a lot of them keep up (at least info-wise) with the current trends. Jaedong was allegedly a pretty fierce FPS player. As a practical matter, every BW pro, whether on the B-team/Dreamleague level, A-team/Proleague, or S-Class/Ace player should know a bit about SC2. It's not a question of the BW scene dying or anything, but you have to be prepared because shit does happen. BW could die not because of SC2 but because of internal politics between the KeSPA affiliates (afaik it's CJ vs SKT - don't quote me on that though).

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.
