Wow, I'm shocked so many think that the old Korean pros are going to do well. I mean...BoxeR, NaDa, and July couldn't compete with the likes of Tester at BW towards the end of their careers, and Tester has a huge leg up on them at SC2.

BW skill does translate, but we have to remember that these guys aren't exactly elite of the elite BW players anymore. If they were, I doubt they'd be picking up SC2

when could tester ever handle any of those three players in brood war

I'd love to see fruitdealer win again, but something tells me a BW pro is going to bring home the bank this time.

Nada, its scary just thinking about it. Once he gets the mechanics and the feel of the game beyond most which I think he has by now or will soon, he will start to dominate.

Way too many votes for BW pro. Yes, we know, the Korean BW players are awesome. However, be real for a second and you will probably arrive at the conclusion they have no chance to win something in 2010.

Tester strangely kinda fell apart against Rainbow. If he doesn't do that again, I think he takes the tournament. I also think the BW pros won't do quite as well as people are expecting in GSL 2. I think the ex-BW guys like Nada and Boxer will be scariest in GSL 3.

I'm hoping for someone like Nada to win it, but most likely it will be a GSL1 Korean

No one is mentioning the extreme beating ITR gave Tester either, and he is definitely more washed up than any of those three.

Also, is Huk entering?

I voted old SC1 pro not because of Nada/Boxer/July, but other SC1 BW pros that are crossing over...

I think the favorites from the first one (Cool, Tester, Clide, and Rainbow) will still be the favorites here, I think that the ones that lost generally had pretty bad losses but their best games were just the most impressive that I saw and until someone outshines that it's all them.
