Flash seems a little naive and jaded, not even realizing KeSPA-sanctioned Brood War is legally hindered right now. Good luck, have fun, though, Flash.

I would watch Flash play until the day he dies. Hopefully while playing an epic game.

To those responding to the guy banned for saying SC:BW won't last 5 more years, please don't egg SC2-exlusive fans on by saying SC2 won't last 5 more years. Only increases the hate and they'll keep posting back.

5 years is a little be optimistic. Outside of Korea it's all sc2. In Korea, the newer generation is playing sc2, so it won't be much longer before the transition starts to pick up. We're already seening current BW pros looking to join the next gsl.

2 years tops, and even by then i think the bw scene will be anemic at best.

I have no doubt Flash and JD could be top tier sc2 players, but it WOULD take at least 2-3 months of hard practicing, and I find it easy to believe that they will be hesitant to switch because for that 2-3 months, they will have to suffer being non top tier, and games are 10x more fun if you are winning, amirite?

would you take a pay cut if you had a garuntee that you would be #1 in a certain game? moving to sc2 would be gambling their fame and status, not only money (even thought they have some pretty good odds)

Good interview.. but 5 years.. not sure about that.. seems a little outlandish. I say 2 more years before he starts dabbling around in SC2 maybe in the 3rd year he attempts to qualify for whatever big tournaments are around.

This again?

Why do people constantly come to the BW forums to talk about Flash and JD switching over, and how it would be easy for them, etc. They are both raking in the highest salaries in BW, and making a lot more money than they could in the current SC2 scene. They both also stated they're staying with BW for the time being, its been covered so many times now.

I'm not trying to make you feel assaulted in any way, but the new Jaedong interview released today strongly indicates Jaedong is open to making the switch. This is, of course, open to interpretation, whereas Flash appears firmly against SC2.

I think people are reading way too much into that interview (especially in the sc2 thread). He said that one day he will switch over. Flash said the same thing pretty much, so have a lot of players. In fact, aside from a few players who openly stated they will retire when BW dies and not be interested in switching over (like Light and Really) the rest have been keeping their options open. I think that players will consider switching when (if) SC2 has enough of a structure to replace BW (that includes structured teams, team leagues, good sponsors, etc) and there is enough money to be made to support entire teams, not just 1 individual league.

SC2's Platinum and Diamond leagues are likely a direct homage to the Plat/Diamond mouse.

My biggest question about BW at the moment? When does proleague start again? I need mah fix.
