For all the people that don't think these three will eventually dominate SC2 if they make the switch, IdrA was a B teamer on CJ and he's currently one of the best SC2 "pros". Same thing applies to Tester, Cool , etc. This is why I think ultimately more players will start making the switch. Someone like Idra or Tester is gonna win the GSL, and make a whole boatload of money. At that point, BW players who are better than them, but not good enough to be true S-class players who make the big bucks, are gonna start thinking, "wait a second...I'm a whole lot better than Idra, and he just made more in a month than I'll make all year. And he's got an excellent chance to do the exact same thing next month." Of course, the truly top BW players won't have those thoughts. But the mid-level guys? I think more will start taking a serious look at SC2 and the GSL when it really becomes obvious that even b-level BW players are capable of making a lot of money in the GSL. | ||

He went 1-2 (or 1-1 if you consider the interrupted game still undecided...) against TLO, one of the top SC2 players some weeks ago, and he had only practiced for a week or two he said! Since they hardly play BW anymore anyway, I would love to see them in SC2. | ||

If there was a team league to provide the players with a salary, the situation would be different. However, this does not look likely since Blizzard/Gretech do not want their tournament to be restricted. As a fan of BW legends, I wish them the best of luck if they do decide to enter the SC2 scene. | ||

Gretech's made is pretty clear through their dealings with KeSPA that they don't want pro-teams. I really don't see how they expect SC2 to flourish as an eSport if one's only way of making money through it is tournament winnings and not a sponsored salary. I bet if BW dies there won't be another 'Proleague', at least not anytime in the near future. | ||

I bet if BW dies there won't be another 'Proleague', at least not anytime in the near future. The problem with proteams is their exclusitivity and geographical limitations. Players who are trying to get a college degree or who work part time who are potentially great players cannot participate. Also, players can no longer be carried on the backs of their team, even though this is unlikely, it means that players will have to rely on their own will to improve. It might mean less team tournaments, but 1v1 is not a team game. The way it's be set up is much closer to tennis than anything else, which is exactly how it would be if it was a physical sport. | ||
