Given people bump it everytime an ex BW pro wins I'm sure it'll happen the other way around too, it's obviously an issue that gets people passionate one way or another heh.  | ||

I think the amount of BW pros that could switch over and dominate are around 20-30. Like you said they have a high enough salary to keep them comfortable and dont really have much motivation to switch over. Ill let the OP speak for himself 300 current pros? many of which are making crap money right now, but apparently could be crushing the competition! 300 pros is a total hyperbole, and i think the OP wants that number to be huge so he can justify his belief that any sc2 competition right now is just "high school football" LOL wut, guess i should edit my original post from 8 months ago. one of the top 30 sc1 pro gamers just lost to leenock. Doh... OP is just a huge troll who was trying to be all elitist and hating on the SC2 community.  | ||

					The problem with this article isn't the prediction that BW pros will dominate when they switch over, it's calling the competition thus far a farce. Unless there's cheating involved, it's not a farce. GSL could be full of bronze leaguers and it wouldn't be a farce.  | ||

After a completely well reasoned post that leaves no doubt of the author's intentions or stance on the subject, you choose to take offence over semantics? Getting upset over a minor word choice when both you and I have no doubt of what riptide is really trying to say is not missing the forest for the trees, but for the twigs. ![]()  | ||

He should have said "The competition has not been the highest level possible" or something. The impression I get from that opening statement is that GSL, NASL, MLG and the like are not legitimate competitions. And I'm not upset...I'm making a post. You have a sad face in your post, not me!  | ||

It just doesnt mean you instantly beat the best ZvTer in sc2 though. Still have hope for fin I think he'll outdo tired mc and a supernova If you see a lot of posts, they claimed that exact thing... Some people say that Fin is already on MMA/MVP lvl.  | ||

He didn't do any harassement or drops in two games vs a zerg. The first game was ok but in the second he got outclassed hard. He played good but nothing more.  | ||
