Tbh, if it wasn't for the shit between Kespa and Blizzard, this should have happened from the very beginning of SC2 AND they would have still been contracted to their old teams. Glad to see them playing again actively and hoping they'll be successful in SC2. Hopefully their departures from BW don't negatively influence the negotiations for Proleague/MSL/OSL, but rather smoothen the road.
Wow, I'm doing the same dream like yours.
That would be perfect!!

It isn't great news for BW, but as with all other games it has an expiration date. I really think SC2 can be a replacement for BW if people are open to it instead of being hardcore against anything new.
There is no reason a legendary game such as BW, as a successful e-sport, should have an "expiration date". No more than any actual sport, at least. Should BW die, it definitely won't be because a few ex-players, no matter how renowned they are, switch to SC2, but because either 1) the fans stop showing up for actual matches or 2) BW is forcefully pushed out of the way by Gretech or whatever. Here's to hoping it will be the former. Not saying it should, it just happens. Problem with games is that they totally hinge on advancing technology, which means there will always be new, superior games, in terms of graphics and gameplay. The BW scene existing till this day is as big of an hommage there is in the gaming business. Physical sports like tennis and football will always stay the same since the control you have is already optimal ^^
You are right in one thing, BW should died some day because is a video game (I dont see anyone playing it in 50 years), but you are completely wrong about one statement, you infer that will be always new and superior games in graphics and gameplay, please tell me one RTS that is superior in gameplay compared to the classics like BW.

Oh god if Boxer switches to SC2, I will switch to whatever race he plays. (although maybe not if it's Terran)

I love korean gossip news, they spread rumors with silhouette puzzles!

another nail in bw coffin? :\
Eh. The coffin is only even there because Blizzard/GomTV and Kespa can't bury the hatchet. It'd only be a nail if a current A-rank or S-rank made the switch, until then I see no reason (barring the legal battle) that BW isn't going to keep chugging for at least another 2 years.

If this gets enough noise, lots of people in Korea will switch to SC II just because of old icons.

Rest assure, Boxer has self respect.

I hope the god it's Boxer :D

So how long do they have to wait for the next GSL to begin again? ONE YEAR?

I would understand Nada and July, they get no play time now and moving on seems to be good for them...but Boxer? he has such a big say in BW, and people would listen to him without hesitation, why would he move on? SKT would do basically anything to keep him around and make him happy, him moving on would make no sense to me.
Until it is confirmed to be BoxeR, I won't believe it one bit.

July starts playing SC2 and ZvT gets balanced but now with Boxer and Nada? Terran will be so OP! Assuming they play Terran.. I'm really looking forward to what interesting new strategies/tactics Boxer will employ

I believe a switch of a current S-class player would be the the final nail in the coffin, or one of the last ones. This is just 'A' nail in the coffin.

Seeing changes like this really kicks my xenophobia in the balls... WHY CAN'T WE HAVE BW FOREVER

BW was a fun and diverse game while remaining well balanced, which made it very popular. Stating that the gameplay is superior to modern RTS games though is embellishment. Pathfinding, AI and ease of doing what you want to do is all better in newer RTS games.
