[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.
Those are extremely superficial elements when you think about what "gameplay" actually means as a whole.
Newer game usually have smoother gameplay, would be a better way to put it. But that's it.

It is more of the psychological impact. These 3 are legends, and if they switch, it won't look good on BW, no matter their current playing status. They still have clout and name, which is why the teams are still paying them money to sit on bench and be poster boys.

Those 3 are switching over?? FUCK YES!
This will bring hype to a whole new level! Can't wait to see if it's actually them. 
|
just accidentally read this since I don't read the BW forums... but shouldn't something about this be in the SC2 forums? :D boxer and nada would be freaking amazing.
|
I saw a FantaPrime (July) VOD 2 days ago. His play and control looked very crisp. Can't wait to see him do some tournaments. He was my first fav pro-player.
With bunkers having salvage, dropships having heal and reapers being awesome, I think Boxer is going to be SICK to play against
|
JulyZerg gonna dominate :D
|
This is pretty awesome, also with Boxer/NaDa/July switching over theres a likely chance that many others will follow, even though most of them wont get much screen time in the proleague, they ARE starcraft, they helped make BW what it is today, and them switching will make it much more likely for other known players to consider switching aswell.
|
so, besides these 3 rumours(okay maybe 2 since JulyZerg is more or less been known to be FantaPrime) who else would you want to move over?
i hope for more of the old guys who aren't dominating and just bench warming, caus i see no reason for the young powerhouses to move atm when they are at their prime
maybe Real Yellow? so he could get a better nickname than "king of silver" 
|
It'll be interesting to see, if for anything, then the effect of these names having on SC2's popularity.
As for their personal competitive perspective? They've been losing the edge their experience gave them in BW already, they will be heavily handicapped against them young'uns now with similar starting grounds. Then again, until sc2 gets even remotely as "mapped out" as BW is now, these clearly exceptional minds will be a lot of fun to follow.
|
I am getting goosebumps thinking of Boxer, Nada and July swtiching over to SC2, total nerdgasm if its true... but seriously though, seeing how committed Boxer is to SKT1, is there really a good chance for him to do the switch?

i ono, i see a lot of similarities between this and beckham coming to la, or nba players going to europe. Causes some shockwaves for a bit but doesn't really affect the core audience or players
|
Those legends are now dead to me. God damn, why can't I be interested in SC2 
Argh, I hate that Broodwar is too perfect!
|
tlo you better be prepared when boxer comes.
|
all the noncompetitive exbwplayers will try sc2, for the money offcourse , and for the simple fact they are not capable of playing bw anymore
|
I get a warning that malicious stuff is on fomos.kr, just throwing it out there to you guys.
Maybe they got some bad ad-code on their site?
|
Boxer leaving BW is breaking my heart. Whos gonna nuke killer now. . . . .
Guess it's only a matter of time before everyone else follows suite. When Jaedong and Flash switch over they'll have to make SC3 to get rid of their dominance ^^
|
If actually Boxer, Nada AND July start to plaay SC2, ...
I dont even have words for this!!

Calling Nada, July and Boxer "noncompetitive exbwplayers"? These are legends.
 NaDa played great in the Lost Saga MSL last year?
He won his last proleague match and had a three game winning streak this summer? He is probably as good in brood war as his motivation, simple as that. When you have won everything, have won more games than anyone else, and the only thing left is a proleague you will never get, motivation is not that easy.
Good luck to anyone standing in the way if Nada practices for GSL like he does when he wants a title. And that includes July and the Emperor (much <3 and please prove me wrong!).

not surprising considering how much money is being thrown about in these sc2 tournies lately
|
this will be epic - hope it is true
