Yeah. He looks so innocent and bright, and I would hate to them quickly fade away under stress and fatigue.

SC2 is a much easier game than BW. BW progamers will take little time figuring out SC2's basics. If my point isn't obvious enough it isn't the end of the road for BW newcomers.

In programming, it's like learning Java then moving to Javascript (aka it's a cakewalk).

its like learning assembly then moving to html

The funny part is that there is pretty much no mention of SC2 anywhere in the Korean progaming scene. This is especially emphasized by SC2's complete flop of a debut in Korea. The SC2 competitive scene is entirely fueled by foreigners who are frustrated at never being able to beat Koreans in BW. I know that the only reason I ever have considered playing SC2 is the thought of being able to be considered "good." Then I remember that BW is a more fun game.

Yeah, aside from the Hwanni interview, there's pretty much no evidence that Korea will switch to SC2 any time soon.

Hope he ends up on Oz or Stars.

Also pretty sick that he's only played SC for a year and a half and can still beat Effort.

Why Star? Star got three zergs already. Oz has JD and Killer.

Good on him, I wish I could go pro after 1.5 years of hardcore gaming. Stupid leisure gaming is taking a toll on me as a gamer.

this dude is so cool ! and he could take a game off Effort after only 1 year and a half ! I wish him all the best !

And I'm so glad he didn't say anything like "I am good at bw and love it, but I think I could make more money training hard on SC2, so I am planning to become a SC2 progamer"

SMILEZERG fighting!!!

if he does decide to become a progamer, he'll probably have a tough road ahead of him, but gl to him. also, iirc from the livestream, didn't they say something about him being an online practice partner w/skt1 (i might be wrong, but i think that's what people were saying in chat)?

Such great potential... I hope Blizzard never destroys the SC1 scene so kids like him don't feel like they've wasted their entire lives on a game that won't have a pro scene. That would be devastating

Probably there's many pros who've improved as fast or faster than him. For example I remember TurN from Khan saying he started playing seriously in 1st high school year and he was doing 2nd year when doing his 1st PL winners interview. And that's someone who hasn't done anything significant since :/
