From Milkis's twitter:
Some rumors: CJ and Hite are merging teams -- iloveoov and Reach (especially the latter) may move on to SC2. Just the word on the street.
So, is there going to be another bonjwa on the field? Are the protoss finally going to have a new hero to rally around? Credits go to grettin for finding it and milkis for writing it.

Don't know how official it is, but I for one did not expect Reach to come over so soon.
Reach:
Fan favorite and amazing protoss
Iloveoov
Boxer's own protege, turned bonjwa.

Reach to SC2? Blizzard is gonna have to nerf zealots again.
|
REACHLOTS! or MANLOTS everywhere... 
The Gorilla will eat a lot of bananas that's for sure! macro mode fighting!!!
|
Battle.net testosterone levels go out of the roof the moment Reach log´s in.
Let´s hope the mantoss sees SC2 worthy enough...
|
OMG Mantoss :o That would be so cool. Also Iloveoov!
Lets hope the rumors are true
|
the return of manlots! i highly anticipate it!
|
Cholera, you must return to herald the return of the ManToss!
|

here are some other tweets that are relevant:
http://twitter.com/pjs1212/status/26432644283 : "Discharged Oct. 29, and I'm back to KT " -Reach, tweeted on Oct. 5th.
http://twitter.com/jinhoda/status/26929407224 : "스타2로 인해 웅크리고있떤 친구들이 하나둘씩 튀어나오는구나.." - Yellow, tweeted on Oct. 10th. From what I can tell, this means something along the lines of "one by one, my friends are switching to sc2", but somebody who actually knows Korean should feel free to correct me. This was tweeted the night boxer did his gsl qualifiers, so it most likely refers to him and not reach, but it is possible that he means more than just boxer.
|
Return of the manlot incoming?
|
Im glad to hear all this. I hope they'll move to sc2.
Thank you Milkis!
|
Manrays, Mannerships and Mantries incoming! God, I hope this is true! + Show Spoiler +Yes, Reach makes me believe there's Gods around :D
|
Poor Fantasy, all of his mentors are leaving.
|
More BW legends wowow
Crazy if true

Reach vs Tossgirl in SC2 GOGOGOGO. I think this might actually bring Cholera out of retirement.
|
Reach will avenge July's loss to Gaybar!

well, at least everyone will stop saying "wow, great strategy by Boxer and Oov" everytime Fantasy wins an important game.
Also, if that doesn't bring Cholera back to commentating, I'll give up any hope that's left.

Lets face it, everyone is switching to starcraft 2 now. Next week we will have Jaedong practicing zerg in sc2.
|
Yeah for the return of the Mantoss and his Manlots!
|
lol where is cholera! he needs to come back...... and commentate all this stuff
|
I'm still waiting for Flash's contract to end and he stops being delusional about the future of Brood War and joins SC2.
"Come on Flash you know Starcraft isn't going to last 5 more years."
|
Yay a toss! and its THE Reach!

Incontrol obvious trolling spoted !
I really hope for the rumors to be true, but never the less, just by seeing how fast the SC2 korean pro scene is developing you can only guess that BW pro's switching will be something natural and common pretty soon.

Let us enjoy these moments :p We are just happy how soon this happens
|
Wow. Amazing news indeed. :D
|
Last thing I remember of Reach (except for his ACE PL failures) was ret BMing him and beating the shit out of him afterwards. ^^
Even though they are legends, these have no future in pro BW as players.

OOV OMG WTF. He's gonna tear everyone apart!!1
|
Would rather see them make another go at BW but eh...
|
|
|
Clearly Blizzard and Gomtv are paying off players to switch to SC2!!!!!!
But this is pretty awesome, GSL3 is going to be even better! Can hardly wait til GSL 2 starts, and now can hardly wait til GSL3 gets rolling.
|
Holy crap SC2 is about to get a whole lot manlier. Unfortunately this means another zealot nerf is probably going to be necessary...
|
Now if only Kang Min would return...
|
Reach! If he does move over, it will be great to see my favorite player playing again, but at the same time, sad to see him leave BW
|
MANTOSS!
Theyre gonna have to change the zealot's sound back to their ferocious manly grunting attack before anyone can call em manlots though. Zealots sound like little girls when they die too.
Cant wait to see other old-school tosses join the fray.
|
NOOOOOO
Mantoss needs to stay in Brood War and get to the finals with KT again. At least for one more season o.O
|
wow really?.. great^^
Reach + SC2 = zealot Nerf
iloveoov + SC2 = "MBS" removed
|
SC2's Protoss just got a whole lot manlier... Man, imagine how fast iloveoov will macro in SC2 @_@
|
OMFG!!!! Reach??? Iloveoov?? We gonna bring back "new memories" with SC2!
|
This makes me happy and sad. Happy 'cause that means SC2 just got that much more manly/amazing.
Sad because this just means it's one step closer to the possible end of the BW proscene :'{
|
This isnt even news anymore. Every player that has no hope at succeeding anymore in bw will come to sc2. It will be news when someone who actually is still good at bw decides to make the jump.
|
Manlots with charge incoming : ) too bad there isn't any spidermines and that mech sucks vs protoss
|
THE RETURN OF THE HERO!
MOTHER FUCK YEAH!
MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Would be baller if Yellow transit too!
Mother fucking Lim-Jin Rok in SC2!
CJ merging with Hite sounds reasonable. CJ owns OGN nowadays and both teams have been weakened. A merge would solve quite a lot of problems.

But it's nice if it means these guys have a chance to make money and win tourneys again. Besides, people complain all the time about SC2 being less macro-intensive than BW. If we accept the premise that old players suffer because they can't keep up with macro anymore, maybe they'll have a chance to win in SC2 (honestly I think decision-making seems to fail a bit as well..) 
|
Great news ! oov was my favorite player but i assume he'll also continue with T
|
So goddamn torn, on one hand, Mantoss is coming to SC2! on the other hand, no more epic manstorms. Storms aren't as epic in SC2. T_T

why would anyone quit a job that already pays well?
stop being bitter.
|
Reach would be baller lol, but didn't he JUST re-sign with KT?
|
Fuck yeah, Mantoss!
I'm worried he's just going to sit on the KT bench all year keeping it warm for Flash's butt. So he really needs to switch to SC2. Rumors are gooooood.
|
whaaaat. does this mean flash and jaedong. bisu, stork, etc will switch over by GSL season 4?

I demand you apologize for even implying Reach might switch races
|
All I could think of while reading this was inControl talking about it on the state of the game. What are the chances of Starcraft players leaving the 1,000 dollar grand prize tournaments in favor of an 85,000 dollar grand prize tournament? Pretty high probably.
|
Reach is actually a really really creative Protoss. That would be awesome.

iloveoov already plays sc2 hardcore, even though still under kespa's thumb. what a naughty boy.
|
Even Reach switching won't bring YellOw to SC2. He's too close to his Starleague now.

If Reach goes to Sta2, we will appreciate more Protoss.

I will have nightmares of not seeing them both in the sexy KT uniform now.
thx
Iloveoov wont be good unless he changes his style ALOT, sc2 is more micro oriented than scbw, especially considering oovs period off greatness

This is very true for those of you who don't know Reach. He knows timings very well, isn't afraid to be aggressive, and isn't afraid to make tons of MAN-lots!

Boxers drools over Medivac and salvageable bunkers, Ilooveoovs gets a banana grin over mules
so begins the man hunt for iloveoov BNET ID?

MANTOSS. I can not believe this is happening :D
A protoss bonjwah for me to admire in sc2 !
I had hoped reach would come but damn damn damn nice but sad though for bw scene

Too much Ownage in those two
I wish one of them change his race to Z preferably

People get excited to see their favorite BW player playing SC2 sooner rather than sometime in the next 5 years. What's so hard to understand?
|
Sorry to bump this, but with the recent transition of YellOw to StarCraft 2 i thought the possibility of Reach transitioning over to SC2 aswell has risen.
I searched for any news on Reach, but only found this thread which is rather old.
Sadly i guess the rumor back in Oktober 2010 wasnt true, so i wanted to ask if anyone has any info what happened to Reach now. is he doing something else or is it still possible that we will see him on SC2 in the future??
He was quite close to YellOw so maybe that has an impact on the situation now.
THanks for all the answers
|
ohhh my godd if this happens and oov joins slayers they will be unstoppable
|
oov is joining the military after the final if i'm not mistaken. isn't he?
|
GOD dammit MasterRey :D i thought this was a complete new thread (eventough i think i read it back when it was new)
what a tease ^__^
|
I got so fucking excited when I saw this title then opened it up to find it from October last year -_-
Damn you, damn you to hell
|
Damn thread got my hopes up. I still doubt Reach will switch. He's the captain for KT and still regularly participates in the OSL and MSL pre-lims

Non BW players will finally be able to see a Kenyan manlot in action aswell.
(assuming reach actually switches)
|
Got my hopes up for a while..
|
For gods sake don't bump stuff like this. Just post in the YellOw thread if you think it's related.
I swear a bumped thread will eventually give me a heart attack. 
|
OMG i was so excited and then i see 2010 <_<
|
Nooo I was so happy at first.

Perhaps we should close this? Don't bump things like this its just rude.

Hahah best necro bump ever 0-O
|
Can we close this thread?

the original rumor seems to have been proved false in retrospect, and this thread is pretty old.
