How about we gather some cash and make a tournament for real gosu old school players to invite them into sc2?
Like old school only invite with their own sepperate tour like Kespa does.

1. Invite loads of players, that havent played sc2 for very long time if any and are gosu oldschool BW players.
2. Set a date in the future, like 4-6 months or so.
3. Players who accept gets added into the tour.

Imagine seeing players like:

Eriador
Elky
Testie
Fisheye
[3rD]Christian
Advokate
Androide
Smuft
Slayer
Sven
Saft
Draco
Trek
Froz
Legionnaire
Grrr
Midian
Blackman
Suker
Hellghost
Rekrul
Assem
PJ
Legend
Stinger
Maynard
Squall
Anon
Schnibl0r
Breakdown

probably forgot many? :p
What do you think? or are none of these interested, maybe too old?

I think Maynard does play Starcraft 2, just not professionally. I remember seeing some blogs about his progress from him.

A chance for old legends or fan favorites to relive some former glory? Win. A chance to bring more viewership of hardcore BW fans into SC2? Bonus. As long as people can avoid the BW vs.SC2 nonsense, everyone has a good time!

Crowdsourcing the funds to put on the event may be the quickest way to kick-start such a project - I like yer style

Most of them are probably earning good money doing whatever they are doing, how much would you need to get them to put down the time needed to participate in this?

I like the idea in principle but why would you want them to play SC2? Why not let them play BW, wouldn't that make much more sense? I mean, they are/were BW gosus, as you said yourself.

You are quite right. They probably have jobs where they earn more than they have being pro.
I was thinking like a 10k$ prizepool would be realistic of some sort to attract many to start training. Though probably not going to happen. Just an idea from my part.

Well obviously they retired for a reason, either better earnings or lost their former glory. SC2 is a new start, and there is no point going back to BW anymore since its pretty much dieing? (sorry to tell you the truth) They are all such a good genious players that can bring SC2 a lot. Also, players like Nestea (aka Zergbong) is a good example of someone who is quite old, past his glory days but still shown us that he has what it takes.

That is kind of happening already, but not with all of those players and instead of SC2 it is BW: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=344183

The games and the casting are hilarious, check it out!
