Yes, and my 80 years old grandmother opered twice of both hips runs a marathon every months.
Good for her.
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just repeating what Naniwa said.
I'm ready to belive Flash played a lot SC2 during that time, but could we post reasonable statements or at least give a warning ? It's the second time I read this, and last time there were apparently people believing it. Maybe the last week of his recovery I guess. Plus it's not exactly on topic either.

Yeah it doesn't make sense. If we assume that the average game length is 15 minutes, that makes 15 hours a day. I don't think he even practices that much BW when he's in perfect shape, so while recovering from surgery ? What a joke.

It was just in response to the guy a few posts above speculating what Stork, Jaedong and Flash might do.
I'm sure 60 games a day was an exaggeration but I suspect Flash has played quite a bit of SC2 at this point.

Stop suspecting. Give me cold hard facts if you're going to make such claims.
it would be better to seperate the games like one proleague sc2 n one proleague BW. I mean the games are the same as they are both starcraft, but that is it.
Also i feel that most of the high apms that BW players have now will go into things like blink stalkers or terran splits etc.
In regards to who might play in this rumored BW/SC2 Proleague:
TIG> how would players react to an offer from BW pro teams?
Nestea> They would definitely consider it. What I heard was that they want players that are very bottom tiered, the ones who can't even break Code A. They want to buy them cheap and invest in them. Actually, I was approached for my opinions on which players are willing to come and for how much. They even asked me to introduce them and one player actually went.
I think we may see teams approach the SC2/BW duality in many different ways. Assuming that what Hoejja said is correct, perhaps some teams may actually use their BW rosters for SC2. However, I think other teams will definitely try to use pilfered SC2 players, B-teamers, low-level A-teamers, and maybe a few A-teamers with name value rather than use their BW rosters, which may backfire on any plans to get fans of players to switch
Also, Naniwa's story isn't too far fetched. Nestea did an interview with Hwanni on Incredible Miracle's stream a few months ago, and apparently Nestea claims that Flash's play in SC2 is brilliant. How much SC2 that Flash did play isn't really known, but it can be assumed that every BW progamer has at least touched SC2 and has an opinion of it already.

If we want to start talking about wasted talent, its really a shape he's not a surgeon. With that dexterity and intellect he could be one of the best in the world.
I am a new Starcraft fan, pretty much only ever seen sc2, I follow the BW scene and I watch proleague but Ihave absolutely no understanding of gameplay, I can tell what the fuck is going on. Personally I am happy at this becauuse I love sc2 and want to see it grow. I understand that BW people are sad and mad but I really don't share that as I have no attachment to BW.
Edit: I'm just a noob and this might be dumb but what I would want to see is BW/S2 team partnerships. Ogs/KT, IM/Khan, Slayers/Skt, that kind of thing, that would make the s2 part of the proleague more competitive as the BW pros probably won't be as good as top sc2 pros right away.

Wouldnt be much of a partnership. You'd have large national and multinational coorps plus chicken shops?

Then the BW teams should just buy the teams. It might be more likely that they just grab all they really good players but that would wreck the sc2 team community. Maybe it's unavoidable but I like at least calling it a partnership better.
