He's likely the most creative player to have ever played BroodWar, and he just got the chance to play a game where his creativity will be more rewarded and being a robot is not neccessary anymore. The ONLY question is how much real motivation he has left in him. | ||

 Would love to see all of them play, atleast until it becomes insanly mechanical like BW. But the silhouette of Boxer seems off. The angles and and cutout is wrong. But Nada and July seems good :D Hoping for a fast confirmation.and that the silhouettes arent random. | ||

July pretty much confirmed, nada likely, but the last one i don't see it being boxer, maybe it's yellow, or has his return to KT been confirmed ? so for now my guess : July, Nada, Yellow. | ||

Boxer would switch if he foresees the whole scene switching to sc2, but for now, unlikely July pretty much confirmed, nada likely, but the last one i don't see it being boxer, maybe it's yellow, or has his return to KT been confirmed ? so for now my guess : July, Nada, Yellow. If C is Yellow, there won't be any recontract talk with ACE for Yellow. | ||

Same thing applies to Tester, Cool , etc. On the flipside, Iron, recent a-reamer who played semi-regularly in proleague tgis last season was knocked out 2-0 in the Ro64.... | ||

At least there are already Tester and Rainbow in GSL. Isn't ITR playing Terran? and Tester was hardly a big name in BW--nothing like Boxer, July or Nada. More comparable would be if Stork or somebody made the switch. Which probably won't happen cause he's still near the top of his game. Same for Bisu and most of the other top Toss players. | ||

He's a fairly recent addition to the scene and is already ranked #1 in the world on the ladder. Not sure you can use 1 loss in a bo3 as a stick to beat him or BW pros with. There's no reason to believe any BW pro that switches over wouldn't maintain the same kind of standing in SC2, assuming they put the hours in. | ||

If it's July/NaDa/Boxer going over, I really can't see any of them except for NaDa doing really successfully. I could be wrong, and part of me hopes I am but I don't really see July/Boxer being able to win the GSL and make a big splash like they did in Brood War. However, if Yellow is going over rather than Boxer, I think he'll end up being the best of the three of 'em. | ||
