EPTAs I know it is, but that doesn't mean that the argument makes any more sense to me.

Because what I'm saying is he's got the mechanics but that doesn't mean he's gonna run circles on the defense. And what's this 11-a 5-a? That's is some strange hotkeys you got going there. American football, man. Not futbol. | ||

Be the very best : maybe, maybe not. I have no doubt that the bw pros will be very good at SC2. But I don't think anybody can predict if they'll own every current top SC2 player or "simply" be competitive compared to them. We'll just have to wait & see. | ||

It will take Flash atleast half a year of fulltime practice to catch up to Stephano and that is being very generous. This game is completely different. It's funny you say that cause you never saw an SC1 pro switch from start to about 1-2 weeks later. Literally Dove (a much worse player than Flash) switches from SC1 to SC2, and gets NA Master's in like 2 weeks. His mechanics are stupidly good and he just attacks cause he's like well this might be cool. When you have someone who has the best mechanics to ever probably play an RTS, multi-tasking and just overall game sense to SC2, he's gonna get good really quick. Oh and he just about outworks everyone in the game. It's pretty obvious that Flash won't win with just mass marines, but he wouldn't even need 6 months. | ||

At least do your research before spouting nonsense. From Liquidpedia: Stephano started playing StarCraft II one month after release, joining Millenium in October 2010. | ||

I got NA masters and I'm awful in comparrison to a pro, like embarrasingly bad. Apm in the 50's. There is no Question Flash and other pros will be masters, ladder heros, the only interesting question to debate is will they win GSL will they dominate the current top players of SC2, and hopefully if they transfer over that will get answered. My guess is it will be alot like ForGG, they will be code S level players. Time will tell. they will simply because of the amazing basics and much better work ethic | ||

Not futbol. when you say football, 95% of the world will understand "soccer". you should think a bit more about your "american football" idea. running and playing american football is a totally different set of skills. the comparison of 5vs5 "soccer" and 11vs11 "soccer" is a lot more accurate in terms of BW/SC2 On April 27 2012 02:23 JimmiC wrote: getting to NA masters is not a great accomplishment, of course a BW pro will be NA masters in a day.

Time will tell. forgg is actually quite a good example. he was still not too bad in BW when he switched, but to be honest he was a very cheesy, timing based player. that's why I want a top tier bw pro to switch over so badly. I need someone to shut everyone up. doesn't matter if he owns or not. | ||
