This situations has been changing quickly and we've quickly seen high level foreigners that got to top of ranking by playing each other and avoiding koreans. true. Fish ranks are just more meaningful today when you talk about skill in top foreigners. ICCup doesn't provide the right environment or ladder system for the top. | ||

Surely it was a bit special back then. (FA was also unquestionably an elite BW player lol) | ||

Did you know about that season prior to it being mentioned in this thread? It follows that those that made a career of either Starcrafts is a self-selecting group from the top and not randomly distributed from the entire ladder. Why are you popping in here to denigrate people's credentials? Stop it. | ||

Not the weakest season ever but not the strongest indeed. Still, nobody who was bad at BW got to A+. | ||

SC: Remastered will be a "new" game for everyone, including the former Brood War players. How is it difficult to understand people want to come back to the game to create content for it lol. The Brood War elitists should be happy as fuck more attention will be brought to Brood War, especially within the "foreign" community. Will people be making content for SC: Remastered as a "cash grab?" LOL. Facepalms, yes and no - content creators make content to earn a living...so yes obviously there will be some people that suddenly start playing and will make a few videos, blogs, or whatever and then disappear. How is that different from any other fuckin new game that comes out lol I think a lot of people have to realize SC: Remastered is essentially going to be treated as a "new" game despite many players here and elsewhere may be playing Brood War actively since 1998. I also think you'll easily be able to differentiate between the genuine Brood War enthusiasts like Day[9], incontrol, hell even myself, from the random youtuber that pops up and makes one SC: Remastered video in his fake ass youtube broadcaster voice and then disappears xD | ||

Still, nobody who was bad at BW got to A+. yeah obviously all the A+ were pretty good players, prob not compared to the A+ koreans in iccup but among foreigners they had all respectable skill level find it hilarious when the railbirds call top foreigners bad because they could not compete with top koreans | ||
