But if they do make the transition, I will definitely be behind them and hope all the ex-BW players own every single SC2 newb. | ||

Im looking forward to this. With the way Medivacs are now, and the increased viability of "cute" units like the Raven and Ghost Boxer could do terrible terrible things to his opponents in SC2. I can imagine a guy like Nada watching the level of play in the first round of the GSL and salivating at the thought of all that prize money. I liken it to when all of us D+/C- players found out that level of skill was enough to get us into Diamond divisions. | ||

but honestly having these genius innovators in the SC2 scene will be really cool. As much as I love seeing these guys play BW, they don't really bring anything to the scene anymore. but noooooooooo T_T | ||

But anyway, let's wait until it's confirmed. I'm still quite a bit skeptical about the Boxer part (as opposed to the other two). Also, silhouette pic doesn't exactly match. | ||

July might as well try it,cause yeah, he hasn't play decent for ages. Might be because I don't like him that much. Nada was on a three game winning streak in PL. I'm sure he could have played some games, and even might have qualified for a league. And when him and Boxer play (for Boxer maybe only in showmatch) you can only be entertained. And this won't be the case in SC2 I feel, for many reasons, not only because the game is inferior, but also because they had a characteristic playstyle that won't transfer, and because the cheering is always huge for them (will that transfer in sc2 ? I'm not sure). It just won't feel the same. Thre won't be the same nostalgia. And I'm really not sure they'll do that well, and they are giving up good jobs (with salaries) for something a bit more uncertain. True, if Gretech win, they might be right anyway  Well, as long as YellOw stays in bw, I don't really care that much. This is BW. Edit : and yeah, I'm not really sure about Boxer. | ||

Should BW die, it definitely won't be because a few ex-players, no matter how renowned they are, switch to SC2, but because either 1) the fans stop showing up for actual matches or 2) BW is forcefully pushed out of the way by Gretech or whatever. Here's to hoping it will be the former. Not saying it should, it just happens. Problem with games is that they totally hinge on advancing technology, which means there will always be new, superior games, in terms of graphics and gameplay. The BW scene existing till this day is as big of an hommage there is in the gaming business. Physical sports like tennis and football will always stay the same since the control you have is already optimal ^^ | ||
