I loved watching all 3 of these players, and I'm sure it'd be great to see them transition into SC2. I dislike the potential death of BW however, wish the games could live side by side for a few years, without the issues between them. Still, thinking about the rebirth of the Tornado Terran and the Emperor, I full out nerdgasm. I love July as well, but as a former T player in BW, I have a closer attachment to the first two.

Sad to see them go, happy at the thought of seeing them roll some nubs in sc2. If BW has to die it should be of "natural" causes like this, players switching over progressively, rather than some Gretech BS.

I'm especially pumped about Nada, as he was still capable of winning games in his last few appearances. And of course July needs to save Zerg.

Interesting regarding Boxers. I saw this vid a while ago:




I was curious if that was the real Boxers back then, but no one was able to confirm. Maybe you guys can?

the field in SC2 is wide open right now. the so-called "best" player in the world is probably Idra or maybe Tester, and with a little practice I'm confident any of these 3 could take those guys with one hand tied behind their back.

this is really exciting. SC2 needs legends, especially if it wants to become popular in Korea, and these guys get another chance to show off their skills and dominate. Its a real win-win.

now we just need a legendary Toss player to make the switch as well...

Sad to see them switch. But I guess their prime time in BW is over (at least for Boxer and July, who did hardly get any playtime).

Tbh, if it wasn't for the shit between Kespa and Blizzard, this should have happened from the very beginning of SC2 AND they would have still been contracted to their old teams. Glad to see them playing again actively and hoping they'll be successful in SC2. Hopefully their departures from BW don't negatively influence the negotiations for Proleague/MSL/OSL, but rather smoothen the road.



if fucking blizzard/gretech wasn't trying to destroy SC:BW scene, i'm sure the teams wouldn't mind their over the hill players playing sc2 while on their original contraCT.

unfortunately, blizzard/gretech shortsightedness is going to force these gamers to give up their salary in order to pursue sc2. the korean pro teams have no love of blizzard/gretech, why should they allow their players to help support that league when they are avidly trying to destroy theirs?

out of spite for gretech and blizzard, i don't want boxer to switch to sc2. id rater have him become a coach.

that is not boxer, thats just simply "SlayerS" a guy playing in the GSL atm.

I think his real ID was

Cho Won Kang
(sanZenith)

correct me if Im wrong but im confident about this..Boxer is most likely atm playing on a smurf nickname

edit:

the guy commentating sounds like a dumbass at the beginning..I mean comon..Warlion? and he speaks through his nose? wtf

This only confirms what I've been saying from the beginning; there's no reason at all why SC1 and SC2 can't co-exist in Korea, why we (the fans) can't have the best of both worlds.

Let OGN air the GSL, give Gom good timeslots, then let Proleague run on normally. Flash and Jaedong and the other a-teamers can continue tearing it up in BW, while the b-teamers, the old pros, the foreigners, and assorted other newcomers can use SC2 to make a name for themselves. There's plenty of room for both games.

Instead, we're on the verge of a self-destructive war between competing e-sports powers where the fans and the players are the real losers. Depressing, to the extreme.

What we need now are bridges between the two powers, cooperation between the two scenes rather than competition. If anyone can lead the way out of this mess, it's Boxer. Very encouraging...

And, obviously it would be awesome to see Boxer, Nada, and July tearing it up in SC2. Boxer vs TLO FTW!

IDK I'm pretty skeptical on Boxer, and the silhoutte match looks a bit off.

July and Nada I think are fair bets though. July confirmed, and Nada fits the signs. Boxer meeeeeeh.

I think Boxer will do pretty well in SC2 because boxer is more of a strategical player and you don't need as much hand speed as in SC2 then sc1.

Very happy for the old legends to shine again even if it is in another rts game.

This is terrific news if true. None of them were getting BW playtime, and it will be fantastic to see them come back and give us more games.

Honestly, I would argue to the detractors in this thread these three aren't BW players anymore, so you have nothing to be upset about.

Thanks, Milkis
