EPTPlayers will have to play *both* bw and sc2? I'd rather see them switch completely to sc2, or stay with bw for one more season.
Nevertheless, still interested in how the top bw players will do in sc2.

All RTS is not alike, and SC2 is a different animal. You're not gonna see any SC1 pros suddenly curb stomp current SC2 pros. That said, I'm looking forward to Anaheim very much ^.^ wonder if he will learn to play bio now ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qVfzJ.jpg) | ||

That made me laugh out loud. Have to bring that one back big time. ^^ Anyway it's going to take a lot of time before you see any of that. HotS will help immensely. What really baffles me is KeSPA was supposed to help bring more legitimacy to the scene in Korea and what did they do? They decided to go ahead with a nonsensical format. I wonder why the media didn't poke and prode for more answers. | ||

I guess it's to make sure that not only the players are warmed up, but the fans aswell. From what they're doing, which is pretty weird in a competitive stance, makes sense when considering that they need to make sure that the fans don't just stop watching. | ||

I wonder why the media didn't poke and prode for more answers. It's pretty obvious this format is just there to transition to SC2. I highly doubt it will run this way for more than one or two seasons. I mean imagine you're in their position (ie. you want to transition to SC2 but your fanbase still is BW) - this seems like the best way to go about it. | ||

Unfortunately it's jsut not good vs. Protoss. Maybe HOTS will help. Battle hellions more beefy vs, zealots, Warhound (anti-mech) if it gets back in... Also, KeSPA could use the English Client when HOTS comes out. Multi-language support is one of the HOTS features. | ||

It's not the be all end all and there are certainly other methods they could have used as I've mentioned many times in several different threads. It's very short-sighted. The only good news is we will only have to deal with it for a season. Seasons are long. But, when it's over. It will be over. | ||
