Zenex_Treme just beat BW legend Nada and oGsForGG back-to-back.





Did you know that SuperNova was a BW pro? He cleaned up ZeNEX and is in Code S RO16, please add that to the spoiler. I love it when people take individual, isolated results and apply it to this thread.

Like when everyone wanted to take forgg's 6-0 w/l in Code A and say he was the GOAT and was going to destroy everyone in Code S blah blahblah.

With that being said, in general, CURRENT BW A-teamers would probably mop the floor with non-GSL finalist caliber players.


lol no they won't they'll get owned just like forgg has beenn so far, get real.

i'd hardly say forgg is getting owned.


Last time he won was in code A, yup he's REALLY tearing up the SC2 scene lol. The rest won't do much better.


And as I said before, comparing Forgg to current A-Teamers is stupid. A closer comparison would be MVP


The thread meant current S Class BW players Flash Jaedong Bisu ect the top 20 or so of BW. But ForGG was still practicing quite a bit, though he wasn't playing at the skill level of his MSL victory which was a mixture of timings and outside the box play which got him an early lead in most of his games. Though I love how everyone seems to be living and dying by ForGG when there are better players who have switched over (at least better at the time of switch over).

I can see it all now. A year from now flash switches over to SC2, proceeds to get roflstomped, 1eris1: "Comparing flash to current A-teamers is stupid, he never achieved anything, i now disown him as a star because he didn't dominate the Sc2 scene like the awful thread predicted"


i lol at this post which insults flash as a player.

Wow, like honestly wow...

Forgg was a top level player in 2008. Not in 2010/11 when he switched/retired. What don't you freaking understand about that?

Also the fact that you think that would apply to Flash, wow

There's no proof either way, and you're getting mad about someone making the same type of assumptions you've been making. My advice? Quit raging, calm down, and relax. Or try to, you're having a hard time doing this whole being calm thing. But try to, at least untill the next Bw player switches and everyone makes a big deal of them everytime they win a game, and then goes "oh well they were bad" when they get stomped.

I'm quite calm. I'm also quite amused by the amount of blind BW fanboyism. Honestly makes me lose a lot of faith in TL mods for letting this thread exist. In the Sc2 section where a bunch of blind BW fanboys just bash the game because they don't want to face the fact that it is usurping their precious BW. If an SC2 version of this was made in the BW section it would instanntly be deleted and the OP banned. It's quite funny.

Yeah, if Flash continued to play BW for the next 4 years, and in 2015 he was going like 4-20 or something and then he switched to SC2, I probably wouldn't expect him to do much...Which is exactly the case with someone like Forgg. In 2008, you could make a case for him being S class (for a while at least), but by 2010 when he retired he was doing worse than someone like MVP
But if he switched right now? Your damn right I would expect him to be dominant...

And I'm getting mad? Okay "bro"

All it will take is the mild success of one BW player, and the pro-elephant people will say that they're right. It will eventually happen. It's inevitable. That's why I classify it as a coward's opinion.


You mean the mild success of BW player(s), MVP, Leenock, MMA, MC, etc.

lol no they won't they'll get owned just like forgg has beenn so far, get real.

i'd hardly say forgg is getting owned.


Last time he won was in code A, yup he's REALLY tearing up the SC2 scene lol. The rest won't do much better.


And as I said before, comparing Forgg to current A-Teamers is stupid. A closer comparison would be MVP


I can see it all now. A year from now flash switches over to SC2, proceeds to get roflstomped, 1eris1: "Comparing flash to current A-teamers is stupid, he never achieved anything, i now disown him as a star because he didn't dominate the Sc2 scene like the awful thread predicted"


Wow, like honestly wow...

Forgg was a top level player in 2008. Not in 2010/11 when he switched/retired. What don't you freaking understand about that?

Also the fact that you think that would apply to Flash, wow


And the fact that you don't think it would apply to flash, wow. Guess what bro? There's no proof either way, and you're getting mad about someone making the same type of assumptions you've been making. My advice? Quit raging, calm down, and relax. Or try to, you're having a hard time doing this whole being calm thing. But try to, at least untill the next Bw player switches and everyone makes a big deal of them everytime they win a game, and then goes "oh well they were bad" when they get stomped.


I think you're the one that needs to quit raging and calm down


I'm quite calm. I'm also quite amused by the amount of blind BW fanboyism. Honestly makes me lose a lot of faith in TL mods for letting this thread exist. In the Sc2 section where a bunch of blind BW fanboys just bash the game because they don't want to face the fact that it is usurping their precious BW. If an SC2 version of this was made in the BW section it would instanntly be deleted and the OP banned. It's quite funny.


Nah, there are a ton of SC2 threads (mostly wanting to switch from SC2 to BW, or SC2 BW comparisons), and the responses are actually more mature for the most part. They never get deleted.

The responses in the BW forum are a lot more mature in general, as expected of an older generation.

It's nice to find that the trolls still have a watering hole from which to feed.

But in all seriousness, this influx of top level players from BW, as has been said, isn't as worrying as once it was. In May it could have ripped the current scene apart. But the game has moved on a lot since then and with the exception of the Flashs and Jaedongs of this world, the Pro BW scene would probably merge into the existing structure of the game quite nicely, some bursting into the scene, others greatly skilled but failing to get through the Code-B qualifiers.

Granted it would be a large influx of players, but that only brings in more fans, more demand for competition and greater growth.

God damn you.


Ya, that really set off a storm of posts to this thread... I didn't see the thread where someone said NOT to bump this thread, I did it independently :D

Its good the battle lines have been drawn clearly, when an elephant does finally crush the SC2 scene I'm sure we'll hear about it, so I think its only fair that when Zenex_Treme crushed two (former) elephants we should also take note.

Nada and ForGG are old though, good for the OP that the rest of the BW scene are immune to the passage of time.

I don't think you've ever watched Brood War regularly like the MSL or OSL matches to fully appreciate what forGG did to defeat flash and jaedong....

it's pretty clear that you've never played BW from the rest of your posts, but okay:

last time he won was in code A? yeah, where he went undefeated on his first try while making people like Polt look like amateurs. Then he loses against Leenock and MC in Code S, one of whom is a previous finalist and the other of whom has won multiple GSLs. And even with all that, it's not like he got crushed; he put up competitive games.

i really think you underestimate how good people like flash/bisu/jaedong are. i'm not even a bw fanboy and i can admit that once they get used to the game, their sheer ability to multitask and play at a consistently high APM is going to make them leagues ahead of more or less anybody around right now.

The thread meant current S Class BW players Flash Jaedong Bisu ect the top 20 or so of BW. But ForGG was still practicing quite a bit, though he wasn't playing at the skill level of his MSL victory which was a mixture of timings and outside the box play which got him an early lead in most of his games. Though I love how everyone seems to be living and dying by ForGG when there are better players who have switched over (at least better at the time of switch over).


That isnt what the writer of the article meant. He actually meant that there were about 200 better players who with "2 months of practice could own up the current scene"

What does me playing BW have to do with it? If you want to bring skill into it, you've been diamond forever and will forever remain that way. And I've played SC1 since it first came out way before BW. Granted I never played 1v1, I did UMS and team games since I was still a kid, but that's beside the point. lol "leagues ahead of more or less anybody around right now" If mechanics were the deciding factor Idra would've won a GSL by now since he has by far the best mechannics out of any zerg player in the world right now.

I'm glad someone finally brought this up. OP was explicitly not talking only about the best 3 BW players.

I am saying that there are 300 current pros and semi-pros that have the potential to come in and dominate SC2 at any moment, with a latency of a few months from the day they switch. Among this group there are a notable few that CRUSH any other players in terms of raw talent and/or work ethic and/or ability to learn. This knowledge cheapens any form of competition I see right now, no matter how much I try to enjoy the games.

I can see it all now. A year from now flash switches over to SC2, proceeds to get roflstomped, 1eris1: "Comparing flash to current A-teamers is stupid, he never achieved anything, i now disown him as a star because he didn't dominate the Sc2 scene like the awful thread predicted"

You really have no idea exactly how good flash is, do you? Have you ever even watched him play?


Judging from the comment, I'm surprised you bother asking.

Flash has a working ethic and raw talent a currently utterly and completely unmatched by any Starcraft II progamer. I would love to see Flash getting stomped if he (against all odds) switched over to SCII, but that wouldn't happen for a really, really long time. His dedication is simply unmatched. I'm sorry, but no one Starcraft II pro would, in the current situation, be able to beat Flash if he had some time to practice. In fact, I would wager he could kill a bunch of top-notch players after less than a month.
