NaDa actually played some WCIII and his account was 150-10 or something. It's reasonable that many SC pros would have tried WCIII because people were saying how SC would die a few years ago so even Boxer himself thought WC3 would become the next popular game in Korea.

that would only shrink the gap, not make the war3 players better.

moon will be quite good at sc2, kind of doubt it for the rest.

I hope blizzard restores sc2 to sc1 mechanically. I dont mind if its easier, but not to the extent they are doing. Workers having an icon saying when they are idle? Fine. Being able to select more than 12 units [say 20] ? Fine. Minor changes that make the game easier, but not drastically so. As is, Im not buying sc2...
Can you dig it?

Maybe some skilled wow battleground gosu will be the sc2 bonjwa. Or maybe a well trained chimp.

You forgot the part where Grubby is better than Moon though..

Not gonna go into a troll t hing but if War3 players went there Grubby -would- be the best. Ive seen him demolish Moon and Lucifer and everyone else he's played..

Hmm I do not at all belive that WC3 players will have an easier time in SC2. If there is one game I would recommend someone who wants to become good at RTS games in general I would go for SC. But then again, I have not played SC2.

I honestly think you are all wrong. Sc2 will have its own generation of progamers. I really can't see any of the pros from either game making into the major leagues. Maybe I'll be eating these words some day. But we'll leave that to time.

haha way to be different, fully support here!


I third that, we won't see many familiars at the top after the game has matured, if any.

Have you heard of Tod ? One of the best Warcraft 3 players at the moment, he was a fucking noob at starcraft.

Elky didnt do well at War3 because he wasnt really interested by a sluggish micro RTS. Espêcially because he could earn thousands and thousands of $ with poker.

You are stupid and not even a good troll.
fuck all those elitists brb watching streams of elite players.

You know how Tod wins Warcraft III games? Massing towers. In terms of skill he's not even top 50, he just knows how to win. And Elky didn't just decide to transition into poker, he did so because he continually failed at Warcraft III and only managed one top three finish. But that's better than most Starcraft players are capable of in a game that emphasizes micro instead of attack move and some occasional focus firing of priority units.

You know him ? sources ?
I'm nearly sure that Elky left War3 because he didnt enjoy it and because he was already earning way more money at poker.
