Sad but in a good way, epic BW legends that will never see playtime again (except maybe nada) would do well to play sc2 and make the game more popular at the very least

im just glad to see these legends playing, even if it is sc2 and not BW.

If the Emperor moves on to sc2 I expect nothing but pure domination. If he doesn't live up to these expectations I would be very sad

Why are people sad about this? These 3 have literally nothing left to do in BW, why not go to a new game and try to see if they can be able to conquer it too? I think this is great news, as their fanbases move with them, eventually in a year SC2 will hopefully have the excitment and drama similar to BW.

If C really is boxer then I cant See BW lasting to much longer.

Even though boxer isn't as dominate now days

When you think Boxer you think SC2 Boxer IS STARCRAFT!

Mark My Words if Boxer AND Nada Switch to SC2 around the same time you will see a Storm of progamers following suit.

Most Pro Admire Boxer/Nada MORE than 90% of the fans i would say.

The only reason I feel some sadness for these three going to SC2 is to what might happen to SKT. One of SKT's top terran coaches is Boxer himself, he is one of the reasons that fantasy is as baller as he is, its a shame that he might no longer receive Boxer's guidance.

Best of luck to all three of them, if they are the three people going to SC2.

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.



TLO? Not possible to reach the final.

I do hope that the newer players stay with Brood War. Better game imo. Though it will be nice to see the old schoolers see some new action.

With Jaedong/Flash not letting anyone else get to the finals, it wont be surprising if a bunch of progamers check out the GSL. It would be awkward if there is a time when most pro-gamers switch over and you get Jaedong vs Flash every season because their chances are that much higher once everyone is gone. If only you can participate in sc2 leagues and sc1 leagues, then one wouldn't have to necessarily die out... skills for sc1/sc2 are similar imo.

I just wanna know what will happen... all this drama means a lot of popcorn-munching for me...

That is a pretty bold statement. I'm sure it is possible. But he'll probably meet up with IdrA on the way.

TLO is a great player and if you have been watching the GSL, IdrA is the only player we have seen play top notch games so far. Every other play has let their macro slip considerably and consistently.
I enjoy watching more than playing.

Boxer in SC2!!!! That would be so awesome, he was so creative.

wasnt boxer even the guy who came up with using a wall-in in bw? Even though that might not sound as much, since everyone uses builds to wall off andm ake chokes now.

Why is everybody so hyped about Boxer?
Obviously, Boxer is the least possible candidate to win GSL among these 3 players.
