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. | ||

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? | ||

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 want Jaedong to come to SC2 for a week, lead a zerg revolution and then he can go back to SC:BW  I think there will be some major politics going on in the next few years, SC2 is already proving to be a huge cash cow. The active talent isn't. MVP is actually the first so far and he was far from a top BW player. The rest are B-teamers and has-beens who couldn't cut it in BW anymore. And why does every BW thread get plagued by sc2 posters and their doom and gloom attitude about BW dying these days? I know you want SC2 to succeed, but keep it on the other side of the forum please. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
