As sad as I am to see a legendary trio of players move to SC2...
TBH they never stood a chance in BW with the new incredible skill level headed by JD/Flash.

At least, this way, we can see the (Flying) Tushin, the Genius/Tornado Terran, and the Emperor back winning starleagues on TV!!!

Psyched.
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

Nothing really lost to Brood War, I love July but these players can't compete anymore. While they may not be able to practice enough to keep up with Brood War, they are each a genius capable of advancing SC2, where inspiration will matter more than preparation.

I know July is doing really well as zerg, any word if Nada and Boxer will be switching races?

on the other hand what you say is quite true...

Boxer being dominant again? Would be awesome...

And then we have Boxer vs TLO GSL finals and our pants explode.

Wow I wonder how this changes the blizzard vs kespa debate. Kespa's position to a large part has to revolve around no pros defecting.

So, sc2 is becoming the Esports equivalent of the Senior PGA. I can deal with that.
I cheer for underdogs and Flash

This is exactly the break Blizzard needs to bring in BW fans into SC2. Throwing money works.

Nada/July is not surprising considering they've been playing it quite a bit

Why is anyone sad though? These players can't compete with the extremely high skill of top BW progamers these days, and haven't played in official matches for ages. It makes sense for them to give SC2 a try, and I wouldn't be surprised if more of the older pros did that.

When many younger players switch, or like any single of the current A-team members, then we can start actually worrying about BW progaming (well it's already worrying, but for different reasons).

These three should pull a lebron/wade/bosh and all form a super team.

Fuck, that might actually get me to care about starcraft again...

Yeah, I don't see why people are sad to see this. It's not like they were getting BW playtime anyway... is your blind hatred for SC2 really enough to make you sad to see these legends play again?

Shim Hyun is the cruelest man on planet earth.

Very cool news. July is the player that got me into SC. Cannot wait to see him in the GSL. Not that Boxer and Nada aren't also awesome, but July is more responsible.

Would be sick. Since it's a new game and far less APM intensive, Boxer could dominate, I'm sure.

this is good news to me
we will never see nada or july dominate again like they once did
in BW at least!
i foresee at least 5 more years of continued relevance (3 more years until legacy of the void + many more years)
i think this is a good career move

TUSHIN! JULLLLLLLYYYYYY!!!!

I'm so psyched for this! Prime is already proving itself a force to be reckoned with, but I can't imagine how crazy this is gonna get with July on the scene!

If boxer transitions to Sc2, Gretech will beat KeSPA.
