This post just makes me rage. Not the fact that Flash plays SC2, I plan on supporting him and hope he does well (if he stays terran). But you are trying to rub your 1 inch esports dick in the face long time fans of Flash.

Its the same dude posting that crap, he is just a bad troll. Best to ignore him.

Say you have FBB playing BW for SKT. Since you want them playing BW again ASAP, the next game, they'll be sent for SC2. The other 3 spots can alternate, but say you have Sun, S2 and Hyuk. If they play SC2 the first match, and the next match sOO, S2, Hyuk play BW, Sun will be on a 2 match break assuming the FBB line isn't broken.
This whole alternating lineup thing can get very confusing and very dirty real fast.
Yeah, they should've just let the teams choose who plays what throughout the season. It's not like everyone in the SC2 half would just be pure B-teamers because of the ace match(which needs experienced players that can handle an important game) and even if some teams will decide to send the bottom half of their roster for the sc2 matches, they could still dominate just like the other B-teamers who transitioned earlier. I know that they're just helping the players prepare for the pure SC2 switch next next season, but, imo, this silly alternating games rule is just a stupid way to force the teams' main line-ups to play both games which could've been done better.

The whole thread has been chocked full of sc2 trolls going after anyone who's a fan of BW with "I told you so" and "look who's laughing now" since it was created. Really could you expect anything different with how things have been going on TL forums lately? I'm really not going to be surprised if I log on one day and the whole BW section has been deleted or merged with the SC2 forums.
As hard as it is, and as many of them as there are, its best to try to ignore them.
The reason that the BW pro's like flash and stuff are enjoying sc2 is it's probably the first new game they've played since they got signed.
I love SC2, however I feel that either their opinions are forced to them (happens in korean society) or that they are really enjoying doing something new...I mean its like working in the same job for 4 years then moving to a new place in the same company...the job gets exciting again at least for a little while.
Wait for a few months and then we'll see if they still really enjoy the game
And to all the fellow sc2 fans bragging...please shut the fuck up...without Brood War we would have nothing. We may have been right about the eventual switch, but deep down all BW fans knew it. Stop being ass holes...you guys are making me sick
Can't wait for this travesty to commence. It will be more of a comedy show than a competitive league though. They should have given the players at least a month more, before they televise their SC2. It'll make it a reality show of "look how we suck at some new game" and "look how we suck at our perfectly mastered game, because we are still busy learning a new game".
I should have foreseen the rule about a picked progamer having to play both BW and SC2 eventually. It makes a lot of sense. It's a really good rule for a mixed league, because it makes it truly mixed for all competitors. Otherwise each team will design a BW roster and a SC2 roster, which would make the whole idea of a mixed league almost meaningless.
For the ace - I hope they only have SC2 during the season and change it to BW for the playoffs and grandfinal. That would be nice. An epic grandfinal with ace in BW is all I ask for.
Lol all the angry Stars comments about not missing post-season because of points. They are lean and mean, I like it! And Rush becoming zerg in SC2 to fully merge with his separated twin Zero.
Sad that T8 zergs are having a hard time. That probably means Jaedong...
this is going to be the most awful starcraft ever. man fuck. I don't think I'll even give this a try unless I hear really good things from BW fans. this is going to be like foreigner-level brood war (or even worse just cheeses every game) and sc2 which will always be bad no matter what. I just hope there's some chance that kespa will change back to full bw if the korean fans complain and boycott enough :\
There won't be much time till pro-teams will start buying sc2 pros for their games, and let the bw pros practice better. But there's a risk that bw will disappear and those players will have to retire.
i'm really looking forward to this! And i would love to see some organisation do a stream with a korean translation of some kind for all the global fans as long there's no global stream set up

kespa fully plans on going 100% sc2 after this season. so unless this is a huge failure and kespa decides to try to go back to bw (which they might not even be able to do if they made a contract with blizzard?), I don't think they will concentrate much on BW at all :\
we are going to see ODT-quality (IE HORRIBLE) games for the entirety of the next season probably :\

KeSPA's switching for a reason. If the SC2 experiment fails, BW will be replaced by nothing, and the KeSPA teams will collapse altogether. BW tried to survive on its own, and it can't anymore, and it's not like there's a huge desire to see Flash in LoL

Never happening. Wolf, Khaldor, Artosis, and Tasteless all work for GOM, not OGN. No one else is moving to Korea. The best English casters OGN's gonna get are Torch and Moletrap, if they get English commentary at all.
