EPTI don't really think this means BW proleague will fall off the face of the earth. Kespa will do their best in court to halt Gretech/Blizz lawsuit. It just means that more fans will gravitate towards SC2. Which, in the long run, is a GOOD thing for E-sports.

Nada boxer and july going over to starcraft 2?!?!?! i'm starting to think savior going to jail really WAS a conspiracy by blizzard, especially since iirc savior was the progamer that said sc2 only required 50 apm and wasn't as good | ||

What is Boxer gonna do in SC2, invent cute builds that will become obsolete after time? July and especially NaDa will improve SC2 far better in theory. They will bring more into the table by displaying better standard play through macro, game economics, and unit control past the early stages of the game. | ||

It isn't great news for BW, but as with all other games it has an expiration date. I really think SC2 can be a replacement for BW if people are open to it instead of being hardcore against anything new. As for Boxer playing SC2, in his Artosis interview he already mentioned he was playing beta a bit and that he wanted to be competitive as progamer in any game possible. Him transitioning to SC2 isn't really that farfetched. Lots of fans see him as BW symbol, but as a progamer he probably isn't content to sit by the sidelines of a dying game. As for NaDa, it's probably true as he's already done the showatches with TLO.and has stated he likes the game. July was already confirmed ofc. | ||

Yep. Christ. I know Blizzard isn't popular around these parts, but that doesn't mean they have black magic powers. | ||

In fact it has absolutely nothing to do with skill. Boxer is the biggest name in BW. His name *still* draws enormous attention. Him moving to SC2 would generate a huge buzz for SC2 in Korea. Even if he ends up having a 20% win record, SC2 will embrace a lot more fans. | ||
