They don't really have two years to get better... Current SC2 pro already have like 2 years ahead of practice so they really need to speed up a lot of things to catch up. But I think they can speed up the process.
Hiring SC2 coach (like Ryu Won for Woongjin and Cezanne for Team 8) would help making them understand the game faster because the coaches already have the knowledge and simply need to teach them. With the amount of practice they currently undergo right now, they would be able to catch up fast. That's it, if they have the right coach.

Bisu on the other hand looks lost as fuck.
Both realllllly need to work on SC2.
It's wierd that Flash Jaedong and Stork have so far looked much better than Bisu and Fantasy. Somethin up with the skt1 sc2 regime?
The PL finals set them back a fair bit. Who would practice for an inferior game when the most important thing is to win the last real BW tournament? Flash is younger and a terran, so there's that.

I don't even think that's the most entertaining TvT. The one where Fantasy played against someone was the funniest game by far.
I liked M18M vs RorO because it was basically stupid shit somehow winning a game. I think someone said that losing to that strategy is the equivalent of getting Stoved.

Also Hots coming at the end of this year or early 2013 ( assuming Flash dosen't destroy the world in december ), they can catch up then, it gonna be a half restart for everyone
The difference between GSL season one and the play now is at least the players now have people to learn from. GSL season 1 they had no one so it took two years to reach where they are now

It looks like he just robo for observer and was going to go chargelot and maybe tech to storm on 2 base. He overteched and didnt stop and make a couple immortals to hold a push that he could have guessed was coming.
