I just want to point out that EG hyped this well.. what I would call an acceptable level of hype for a big time announcement. It's us as the community that is making it "OH MY GOD SOMETHING APOCALYPTIC IS HAPPENING IT'S THE END OF THE SC2 WORLD THIS BETTER BE EFFING HUGE!" I am assuming (just assuming.. no evidence) that EG has an important set of announcements likely related to the formation of a joint-venture foreigner project in Korea. The player acquisition bit I find unlikely. The hype they gave it is about par for the course with an announcement like this, but I don't think we should blame EG if this doesn't turn out to the be the coming of Starcraft 2 Jesus.

Incidentally, the thread would only be half this size if people actually read it and stopped recycling the same questions/suggestions.

You guys must be delusional to even entertain the notion that this has anything to do with the two biggest BW players... The last thing in the world top BW players would do would be to quit and join a nonkorean sc2 team...wtf... BW players are completely isolated from foreigners at this point, they probably would be surprised to even hear theres nonkorean teams doing anything in sc2 unless they are actively following the sc2 scene which I doubt. So yea, top players in a game (bw) which doesn't even have foreign teams on the radar anymore making hundreds of thousands of $$ a year suddenly leave that all and join a foreigner sc2 team for probably 1/10th the money... keep dreaming.

If bisu/flash ever do jump to sc2, either it will be when kespa weasels their way into the korean sc2 and takes it over or gom will be all over it with a show like the Yellow one and theyd probably have one of the big BW teams transfer over with them or at the very least sign on with Incredible Miracle or something. It wouldn't be announced on some silly eg viral site, it'd be the biggest news in sc2 and coming straight from GOM or Kespa(if they manage to switch to sc2 at some point). They wouldn't just randomly join a foreign team, and without even a whisper of hype from the korean scene beforehand.

He's being friendly and chatting with everyone in the channel. I saw no harm in asking one question. Are you dumb?

So according to BW elitists, Flash, who made $200k this year, would never ever ever switch to SC2 because he would make soooo much less money playing it, and yet he would definitely be much much better than any current sc2 pro, the best of which earned about $200k. This logic probably made sense in BW where you needed better mechanics though.
