flash and jaedong are still going to be chillin in the kespa top 10 for quite a while, a few losses doesn't mean shit. All these people goin crazy cause Jaedong lost a couple games. you need 2 take a step back look at who your talkin about. Jaedong was on fire for the past few months. If he doesn't make ro 8 or better in one of the individual leagues (including gom) Then maybe start worryin ^^ j/k

Skyhigh and Baby are looking really good atm, but they're just fresh faces with a lot to prove. I wouldn't actually call Fantasy the next generation as he's already got himself into 2 OSL finals and is preforming pretty good in PL.

But they're all promising and I'm quite hyped to see Baby perform in a starleague.

But seriously, Movie has the most hideously unrefied style. If he's actually got a style. Just by watching his game vs Jeadong, you can see him sending his units to attack but he doesn't have the elegance that Bisu has. Strategically he's good, but he's not entertaining to watch.

Firstly, i think player likes Jaedong and Flash are nowhere near falling from dominance. Their style is too crazy and the are still just so far ahead of so many others.

In general, these things are next to impossible to predict. Flash and Jaedong largely came out of nowhere to rise to the top. Few players (although Bisu is one of them) are pretty good for a while before being the best.

That said, if I had to choose 1 player, i'd pick ZerO. His muta micro is perhaps the best in the world, and he has the mechanics to go far.

That he's able to show such results with such a blatant lack of refinement is why I think he has a lot of promise.

You say he's good strategically, so I think then it's just a matter of practice and refinement. It's very hard to gain good strategy if you don't have it, but mechanics and refinement are something that Movie should gain with time, I think it will be a very long time though.

From 2008 II and 2009 I drafts (I am not including team licensing players their own). Predicting 2 to 4 players reaching S-class level in next 2 years.

Fantasy is already a well-established star and the most likely Terran to win any given league at the moment (so he's the "best Terran" by that definition). Flash is a better player and still has plenty of time to get his act together. Realistically, neither Flash nor Fantasy has maxed out their potential, though Flash might never get to his max because it seems like it's just so high (higher than any other player for sure).

Skyhigh and By.Hero are for real. I'm expecting Hero to beat Kal in the upcoming GOM match.

Effort is almost certainly for real too. Gotta see more games from Movie but he looks quite good as well.

By the way, what "well known" progamers are younger than Flash? Just Baby? There's no way Flash is done, guys. He's STILL younger than Jaedong was when Jaedong won his first league....

I see OSL semi-finals.... Jaedong vs Hwasin and Flash vs By.Hero...
Nah ok, I dream of these semi-final, I don't really see it!
Not such a big fan of Fantasy. He's great but if you're looking for a titan's battle between Jaedong and some other player, I think Flash is the one to call (as long as he doesn't go for a completely standard mech build that JD knows by heart and get raped before his tech kicks in; play safe Flash!)

I think the CJ trio and Fantasy and hyvaa are my picks. Some of the other zergs like by.hero and hoejja are ok.

I know most of them have been doing well, but I think they will all do even better in the future.
Shorts down shorts up, BOOM, just like that.

I like By.heros zvp, i think he has potential to become the top zerg in 2-3 years along with effOrt.

i have no idea who the rookie toss players are though :/

I think Skyhigh is quickly rising to A class player. He needs to get deep into an individual league, but he's played very nicely in Proleague.

for zergs, by.hero comes to mind. it's too bad he's behind two established zerg in STX.

I got nothing for Protoss.

skyhigh and baby are going to be solid... i don't like any of the new zergs.

Bisu's loss was pure LOLS and Jaedong's loss was because he made a simple mistake which he admitted to. Everyone makes mistakes and he got caught w/ a big one losing the expo to two cannons.

I never said that Jaedong et al weren't on the top, I said that they wouldn't be on the top forever, and now that they've hit a small bump, it's a good time to look at who will be the next to rise to the top.


"A small bump"? Each of these guys lost one PL game (JD 2). You're reading way too much into the result of one set. If you want to have a discussion about the next generation of top gamers that's cool, but you don't have to sensationalize like this.

Oh yeah, and here are my bets for this season of Starleagues:

(Z)Jaedong
(P)Bisu or
(T)Flash
✌

Anyone remember the last MSL Group Selection when the had to compile which player is the the hardest to play/beat something like that and most of them said Horang2.. that dude is good, and will certainly be another great protoss, just like Bisu is/was
