Existing BW elites will likely never fully make the transition to sc2. The risk is too great, both financially and in terms of brand strength, and so much of their existing skillset would be worthless.

However, we WILL see the rise of new Korean teams and players in the near future, players with the same "work ethic", coaching, and dedication the Legends possessed. When Korean teams enter the sport in earnest, we will likely see most of the familiar names right now be wiped away. There is quite simply more money and effort, and a stronger pro gaming culture behind Korean teams.

Who's this sweedish player Forsen?

How did he just take that game1 win against a former BW-pro A-teamer who was destined to dominate the SC2 scene?

Adding to this thread now because this edit is probably going to be very relevant in 1< year's time.

I always thought that top-tiered Starcraft players, when/if they would transfer into SC2, would do insanely well (insert unimpressed Flash here). But after going back and watching SC1 replays and gameplay itself, it just seems like completely different games.

I don't really want to get into the whole SC1/SC2 argument, so I'm not going there. But it seems to me personally that SC1 players, when/if they transfer into SC2, will put up a fight. They will take down current SC2 players. But I won't be surprised when current SC2 players will take down top-tiered SC1 players.

It's going to be exciting times, for sure

Looks like everybody is switching soon :D

I'm sure people have said it before, but I like how Alicia was supposed to be big.

Its interesting to see how successful people will be in sc2, with examples like forgg out.

Cant wait to look back to the early years of SC2 10 years from now and say, "remember the day SC1 pros switched to SC2?" Almost 2 years in and we've only seen barely the tip of the iceberg that is e-sports. Shit is going to get real in the next year.

sc2 is too noob friendly that is why korean bw pros will never dominate. too strong macro mechanics, coin flips, and strong all in cheese lets lesser players take games off godlike players all the time.

The stage isn't big enough for flash and the elephant. Time for elly to relocate I guess. The (sc2) world will never be the same again.

In light of the recent earth shattering news I think it's time to bump this thread again.
