People have already been switching races. If someone feels one race is stronger than another, why would they not play it? Incontrol switched to protoss for SC2, Morrow has been known for race switching, Artosis switched to protoss after playing zerg in the beginning of SC2, etc. They are not looking at stats and determining their race by that, they are deciding by how how they feel when playing and possibly with some advice from professional SC2 friends. Artosis switching his race was one of the saddest things I ever witnessed. 12 years of Terran patriotism down the drain. It's because of the marauder. He said that playing as terran with the marauder went against everything he did as a terran for the last 12 years and that he can't stand it so that's why he switched. | ||

(so was Best) Yup but that was before I knew he existed so it doesn't count. | ||

Yeah, but when you use "imbalance" as an excuse like Hoejja, Piano, Juni and great do, it doesn't make sense. If you say something like it fits their playstyle better (like how a lot of Protosses switched to Terran as it's more drop-based) or how they want to try something new then that would be a better excuse. Imbalance is not really a good excuse as balance changes with the metagame. | ||

Man... It's for the good of ESPORTS but is it really worth it? It seems they are actually making pros play SC2, they are only employees after all and their careers are in danger... It's really sad. SC2 fans rejoice. I will hug my BW CD D: | ||

And he wasn't the only one, seems likely that several top BW pro's would switch to terran in SC2. No. He most certainly has never stated any preference for Terran. His words were that it was a Terran dominated world, and that Protoss was far too weak, and that if you were going to make the race that shitty, why include it at all? He wished that Blizzard would work on the balance better, and that if he had to switch, he would play Protoss. Now that Protoss has been showing quite remarkable results, I don't think he's going to have as much of a problem with staying P. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=276676 | ||

i can bet pros BW using koreans nicknames, example: "Horang2 90% winrate in Korean Grandmaster before" so he probably get GM also in season 7, so it could be this guy http://sc2ranks.com/kr/869893/로켓단 69/15 82.14% ------- http://kr.battle.net/sc2/ko/profile/217724/1/한니발/ maybe Flash - 71/11 86.59% btw.

I am sure there are a few BW players in there but I would argue most of them aren't. At the moment at least. | ||

I'm form SC2 forum ![]() No, most likely not. And the last guy is hannibal, certainly not flash. To think that the top BW pros would be top of GM with 80% winrate playing only part time is way overestimating their abilities. That's close to MKP status. It took both forgg and hyun a lot longer to achieve anything even close to that. | ||
