I don't even know what you're asking. The guy I quoted is wrong because he said SC2 doesn't take so much skill but he's comparing getting to masters to being a pro gamer... That's completely illogical. The skill cap is nowhere near getting reached in SC2 or players would all be getting around 50% win rates. Players like MKP can be completely dominate in TvP (>70% win rate) for example though. Parting is like 80% in PvT at the moment... If it were so random players like MKP wouldn't exist... | ||

An example of this being blatantly wrong is fOrgg, who won an OSL by beating both Jaedong and Flash in pretty one-sided series, although he did fall off the map after his win he obviously has the skill to beat the best of BW, yet in Sc2 he is barely managing to stay in code S, and has himself stated that BW is not harder than Sc2. | ||

He had the skill to beat them in 2008...the same year that July won an OSL... Seriously the dude was 8-22 in his last thirty games when he switched; I like forGG a lot, but he was not even mediocre when he switched. Honestly this whole arguement is stupid. No one thinks it's going to be 1. Flash 2. Jaedong 3. Bisu 4. Stork 5. Fantasy 6. Soulkey 7. Stats 8. Leta, etc in that exact order, but the fact remains that MVP is the most talented BW player to switch and was the best SC2 player by far until his wrists basically died. There's no reason to think there isn't some correlation, even if it isn't necessarily 100% linear. | ||

I mean it's hard to even believe he had ZERO idea of what like 10 units did. He knew exactly what they did very very fast, stop being so naive. How the hell would you know what every unit does after 10 matches? Not every unit is used in every match, and you really have to actually use a unit to really understand it. I must have played at least 30 games before I realised that warp gates warped in units instantly. | ||

He would understand the basic ideas of the game by then... It's naive to think he didn't know what the units did. He obviously learnt the basics fast and went from there. | ||

Not sure what I think of this. This isn't good news for BW and I don't think SC2 is anywhere close to the beauty of SC2. | ||

 Just wonder how GOM will react to this, if this really gets SC2 going in Korea they sure as hell won't stand a chance against OGN... | ||

When a bunch of my BW playing friends switched over, none of them over C-, they all hit masters in less than a week. Some of them cheesed their way there without understanding anything of the game. I even know a former C- guy who 4gated every single game without building a single sentry that got to masters in 4 days. | ||
