Oh did you forget they're past their prime? Oh did you forget that ForGG won his MSL in 2008? 4 YEARS AGO? the colossus in the room was just a halluc by Huk. Fin was also the best - of all those who transferred to SC2 - upon time of transfer. Dominance was thus expected. fourGGs later, I am increasingly saddened because, frankly, I expected dominance. One-sided smashings are really more entertaining than one would expect. | ||

Losing an scv to a probe and forgetting an upgrade automatically dismisses the whole article I also never said he played amazing. | ||

Not to mention he's in a group that could be the quarter finals or the semis. | ||

Not only is ForGG really good and will breeze Code A but ForGG is not Flash. If Flash, Jaedong and Bisu switch and totally fail then you may have a point. | ||

It's not even a competition between the games as it's the same group of players in both. Not to mention he's in a group that could be the quarter finals or the semis. You should really read the article, it's not about about what game the players came from. | ||

SaiR and Iron were B-Teamers. They are elephants as much as IdrA or Ret were BW Pros. Which is to say that they were, but the entire thesis of the article is that they shouldn't be winning things. And, uh, they are. | ||

Yes they were bw pros, and targeted(MC) in the article if you would have bothered to read it. | ||

SC2 needs a ton of specific SC2-practice and as long as they don't have that, they will lose. If they "are better" because they will be better after practicing SC2 hardcore... well then we can extend this argument to every person that is not practicing like a pro on the entire world and the Whale in the room would be: "John Anyone is the best Brood War player on this planet... Sadly he doesn't play it." | ||
