Best quote I've seen in quite awhile.
Or, to do it all internet style...
Jaedong: "my fans went bananas."
Jaedong: "my fans bananas."
Jaedong: "fans bananas."
Jaedong: "bananas" i lol'd

lol Jaedong won't 'switch' to SC2. That implies he would leave the BW scene for the SC2 scene. He means he will go to SC2 if it becomes bigger than the BW scene in Korea...which all pro gamers would at that point.

Sorry to rain on your parade of wishfull thinking here but he said he would switch, the only question for him was when, tomorrow, in a week or in a year.
That is what the man said
He never said he would go to SC "ifs" or "buts" or "maybes"
Sorry but that is what the man said, respect that and stop trying to put words into his mouth

Although I personally don't mind 4-pooling and shit (I even wanted him to do it in their OSL games since Flash had been going 14 CC like literally every game between them in the last year before that), it's great that he decided to refrain from using that kind of stuff in their WCG games. ^__^ Game 2 will go down a Flash vs JD classic. Gonna rewatch it now.
Thank you JD for being so awesome!

Players can't make something out of nothing, if the game doesn't allow anything special to be done then it can't be done. Jaedong didn't do anything in BW that we didn't even know about, the huge mechanical skill level required by BW just means his play was impressive solely because of that, and this isn't even true for SC2.
I dunno why people are acting like Boxer/Nada/JD etc etc are going to pull something amazing out of their ass that makes the game actually interesting. We aren't going back to the dark days of RTS, SC2 is and will be furthered figured out extremely quickly. I'm sure the BW players will be much more refined play but these days they are not just going to invent stuff out of nothing.

perhaps he will go to SC2 if he breaks Nada's record before Flash does.
|
JD plays CS?
Wanna see that!
I agree that having pro bw players play sc 2, while interesting doesn't make the game more watchable. But it is inevitable that the scene will transition to sc 2 eventually so I guess we'll adapt.

So Jaedong is basically saying BW is starting to decline and he wants to rape international face (metaphorically speaking) in SC2?
...*watches as everybody drops a rank*

They translated the whole interview now: How do you see the future of StarCraft: BroodWar and will you change to StarCraft 2? - I will definitely change to StarCraft II when I feel that StarCraft 2 is having a higher status then StarCraft: Broodwar. We will see more international tournaments in SC2 compared to StarCraft: Broodwar and this will make the change natural for me. I want to build my reputation abroad and reach out to the international audience. FUCK NO. Ugh, I hope this is like what happened with CS where it goes all the big players move to CSS, then the majority goes back to 1.6 when they realise it's much better.
No one really liked CSS in the first place, they only played it because of CGS and the easy prize money. Everyone who stayed in CSS either became too bad to play 1.6 or were newcomers who never played 1.6 in the first place and wouldn't know how to play it if they tried.

Which is obviously not the case at the moment. He will only switch when sc2 is more popular than BW. If sc2 fails do you think he will still switch in a year? Maybe you are the one who should stop puting words into his mouth.

Nooooo ((.I like SC2 but i don't really want them to leave SC1.SC2 is kind of easier since you can control big amount of units at once and has many new things.Especially cause zergs can now make creep where ever they want and have 6 larvas at a hatchery so no wonder they want to switch.... Let's not mention terran making twice a unit from 1 barracks at a time.I haven't tried protoss yet in Sc2 so i can't comment .But the point is Sc2 is easier and is overpowered.Sc1 is harder and requieres more skill that's why i love it.

Jaedong brings out the homo eroticism in all of us

Gravedigger of this topic is so epic :D

Kinda funny considering how many people were pessimistic about success of BW pros. While some did fall prematurely, at least Boxer and NaDa is pouncing ahead proudly.
