I wouldn't just assume BW proscene is going to immediately die out because of SC2. If theres still going to be people to play it and people to watch it, which there will, why wouldn't it continue.

about that "if he goes to korea and fails his future is down the drain"-argument: if he still goes to school in seoul it wouldnt throw him off too much. if he goes to college afterwards, no one cares about his a-level grades so it wouldnt even make any difference if he was bad in school coz of his progaming career, as long as he makes the a-levels.

and imagine how kickass it would be if u make an application for a job and there u write "ive been to seoul, south korea for 3 years when i was 14, i was working for samsung group in a team of professionals... and im not kidding" or anything like that.

Sure, 8000 seems like a large number. But do the math yourself-
2 Years- 730 Days, that's like 11 games/day. Considering the average 1v1 lasts about 15-20 minutes, that's about 3-4 hours a day. Not that much by any pro gamers (not even including the korean scene) standards.
11 years and counting- TL #680

I think that SC2 will be initially dominated by returning ex-Korean pro such as Garimto and Foreigners at first while the active Korean pro focus on Broodwar. If Koll wants to make his name, SC2 is his best shot.

We need to somehow send this guy to Korea, if he fails then everyone will. On the other hand, may be he should just try to win courage or at least make it to the finals, b/c if someone is accepted just because he's foreigner it usually ends bad, lol.

And then he 4pool'ed IdrA. Twice!

Yeah, and he lost these 4 games. You must admit that statistically speaking, his theory makes sens!!!

I'd like to know why on earth he thinks Stork is better than Jaedong.


Especially when he thinks that Jaedong would win..

he probably interpreted the question as '' vs whom do u have better chances '' and as his best match ups are zvz and zvt and his weakest pvz..

and zvz has a big luck factor in it..

whatever..

koll plays zerg.


Remember that. Theres a reason there are less terrans than anything else in the foreign scene

Kudos to him for a good showing though.

I like his point of view on the foreigner going pro thing. He is right, if a foreigner goes to Korea it should be at a young age when he can sort of commit like most progamers do, not at 25 having finished college and an MBA.
