Sure just let them start play sc2. It's great i guess. Hopefull too see them play sc2 on stage.
But they will always BW legends, nothing can take that away from them.

This are still only rumors , though i would love seeing those 3 playing any RTS game . I don't know about Nada he's still pretty good in BW even as an old gamer . Boxer and July especially after he started practising SC2 are pretty much washed up and it's a pretty good decision if they want to continue their career as gamers even thought i think the SC2 developement is still to small with only GSL as the only real profit . I hope this doesn't end up damaging BW , because it is such a great spectator's e - sport right now compared to SC2 that still has issues . This at least will make following GSL more enjoyable .

Imagine the WMF LU after Nada, Moon and Lyn switch over.

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.

Nada has some of the best mechanics of all time, lol at people saying he wouldnt succeed in sc2 which is even less mechanicly demanding.

also, he's been a top player since 2002 which has to mean something?


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.

There will be a point at which it will not be worth it for a progamer to switch to SC2. If the only pay is from the prize money earned, then there isn't enough to go around. I just hope that Nada, Boxer and July don't regret their decision because it is likely that a more skilled BW pro will switch over and the prizes which they thought they had a good shot at will be out of reach.

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.

seriously, someone should make an internet meme out of it.
on a related note, someone should add "a challenger appears!" to those.

I really hate this news. For such famous BW players to switch over to SC2............if BW does die omg wtf am I going to do. I'm probably more disappointed in this than Savior being involved in the scandal to be quite honest. I just feel disgusted right now =/

Yea... 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.

bw has had its time, sc2 is the future and right now its far from being a perfect game, and bw started off not the most balanced either. Reading these post and seeing all these people complain about sc2 or about these legends switching to sc2 just confuses me. Give it a chance. I honestly feel these guys will come over and help path the way for sc2 and its future.! Broodwar was a great game, but alot of what made it such a great game from a viewer stand point was the old school legends. The new kids are machines but the older guys are simply more creative and more enjoyable to watch. I guess thats just the old school fan inside me watching games 6-7 years ago was much diff then these days, but i found it more intense and enjoyable, and I hope they bring this to the rise of sc2

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.
