The difference being that the BW pros are already identified, and may have a reason to switch as some point. We can see them use their skills in a related environment. | ||

"Was (T)ThorZaIN vs (P)oGsMC awesome? Fuck yeah! I loved watching those two play, the games were fantastic. But isn't high school football in Friday Night Lights really exciting too" rofl so hilarious and well written, agree 100%, as a former BW spectator this article states exactly what I want to tell all the new SC2 fans. | ||

I am no fanboy, I wasn't going to just agree because they were who they were, but now that I have a comparison between the current sc2 top and their career stats from BW compared to the current ultragosu kids, I don't think I can find anything to contradict anything you just said. | ||

The one thing I'd disagree with is the idea in the article that only A team bw players in 2010 can be looked at as universally good players. If a player can become the best in the world at something in 2006, I see no reason why they can't do it again in 2011. July and Nada have both proven that they can come back and win in modern bw, and have strong success many years apart. I would think sc2 just gives players like that more reason to put in the long, stressful practice hours again. | ||

I think he's also saying the relative skill level of everyone right now is just not very high compared to where it will be, and that people need to work harder than they are right now in order to keep up. SC2 is a lot of fun to watch for me (more fun than BW), but it's also frustrating to see the best of the best making mistakes, and failing to play a flawless game. A BW analogy would be EVER OSL 2008 finals between July and Best. You know Best has below average PvZ and while July played well, you saw a lot of mistakes that Jaedong wouldn't have made. | ||

Both amazing at sc1 (capable of beating flash/JD at times iirc but not rocking SC2 as hard as you say they should) How many fucking times does it have to be said, nada/july would get rocked by flash 9/10 times in 2010. | ||

Hotbid's point about work ethic and focus reminds me of professional golf where Tiger Woods is the best not because of his physical abilities or even his huge talent, but moreso because of his ridiculous work ethic and mental focus. Mickelson is often touted as being a better raw talent but his profession was never always his #1 priority. This has always been an interesting issue to me, the ratio between raw talent:work is very different among even the cream of the crop and its surprising to see how career arcs play out from it. Then you run into dudes like Flash who have incredible amounts of both talent and ability to focus on the work and it gets scary. | ||
