I can't remember what team SonGDuri was on. He was one of the newest b-teamers in professional gaming afaik. TLPD says he was part of the clan _Lt, but I also remember him being a part of NsP_. This might be a mistake. Defy was a protoss b-teamer on SKT1 for a while, though he never got a chance to achieve anything notable. trOt was a terran who had a few decent reps as an amateur, and he became a b-teamer on SKT1, but never accomplished anything notable. hungry was a pretty cool amateur who had really low apm for a bw pro (~200 and sometimes less), but clearly this didn't work out for him. He was a b-teamer on Woongjin Stars. Smile was some douchebag on estro who was a b-teamer for a while. He beat IdrA in OSL prelims afaik. I thought JoJoBa retired a long while ago. Maybe he started anew. As I remember it, he was a CJ b-teamer for a long while, though I don't remember him being part of the team lately. Hamil[GsP] was one of the newer additions to CJ. That's all I know about him. | ||

And I wouldn't be surprised if they did try their luck w/ sc2, considering the skill level of current sc2 pros is so much lower. So far the only players who transitioned have been b-teamers and oldschool has-beens who couldn't cut it in bw anymore. | ||

"For progamers that are retiring the coaching staff is suggesting they play SC2 instead of renewing their contract"? And BW is nowhere near dying -_- | ||

As more and more KRN BW players go to SC2, including progamers, the less and less likely any of them will get any real value from playing sc2. The chances of being "the best" sc2 player or at least be in a strong position to be in the money is high now, but as time passes making GSL prelims will be difficult for past BW progamers. | ||

Why must all my favorite players retire at once? BW is now dead to me. Curse you, KeSPA/Korean military service! | ||

I'm pretty sure it's a matter of time until more significant players switch over too. | ||
