i doubt it would be boxer though. but anyways, since two SC:BW pros were in the finals the first time, and this time even more and better pros will participate, i'm pretty safe with my bet. they just know too much about how to train and are way too experienced (i doubt any of those would get nervous at all) and.... everyone is going to be so damn happy to play and train with them, they can practically chose their trainpartners or teams | ||

 IrOn and  MVP will be very promising in GSL2. I'm especially looking at MVP since he seems to be the best bw player who has converted to sc2 so far. | ||

My picks for GSL S1 players are Fruitdealer, Tester, Inca or Ensnare. My outsider Pick is oGsTheStC. This guy is damn good from what I've seen. I'm pretty sure he lost to a teammate in qualifiers in Season 1. Don't quote me on that though. Of course my fanboyism tells me to pick TeamLiquid Crew, IdrA and Artosis but it's going to be even tougher this time through. Hopefully the practice in the oGs-TL house really pays off for them. Really want to see some foreigners go deep in Season 2. | ||

15% of polled are insane. Who will win GSL2? Old SC1 pro (Nada, July, Boxer, etc) (800) 34% GSL1 Korean (Tester, Rainbow, etc) (735) 31% Foreigner (IdrA, TLO, etc) (350) 15% Someone completely new (244) 10% GSL1 Champion (236) 10% | ||

good chances always have Tester/InCa/IntotheRainbow SC1 pros like july/zergbong aren't on that level yet. I saw some replays of july and it wasn't really that good and zergbong kinda dissappointed in gsl1. No creep tumor is not good | ||

However, be real for a second and you will probably arrive at the conclusion they have no chance to win something in 2010. Do you even know what you are talking about? Tester cool rainbow etc were all ex bw pros. With nada july and boxer probably practicing like crazy now they have a good chance of winning gsl2. We'll see for ourselves when the tournament starts. | ||

Cool's S1 play was just so far above the competition. I think it would be difficult to compete with that. It reminds me of the sort of play we were seeing with BW. He seemed to have perfect intuition/timing/macro etc. It was just so impressive. I don't think the old BW pros have that sort of game-sense yet for SC2. | ||

Both of them have incredibly solid late game, but I really think that it'd be a closer match than if Fruit is up against a terran. And I don't expect a sub-tester-skilled protoss to reach the finals. Maybe Inca or HuK could? I would LOVE to see a foreigner get into quarterfinals+ I REALLY REALLY WOULD. Any foreigner, even if you're more BM than Idra getting proxy reaper-tankdrop-voidray'd by a maphacker. Addendum - I think it will take a bit more time for the recently-switched SC:BW pros to reach the skill that Tester/Cool/etc have in SC2 (who ALSO came from a very strong BW background.) | ||

It will be ultra hard for TL guys to train better than Rainbow/Cool/Tester with their SC1 pro gaming experience and training regime, and they were already significantly behind in skill in GSL1. I voted for existing Koreans, but I wish for one of the old School BWers to take it down. | ||

Cool and Rainbow, both old SC1 pros, dominated the first GSL and Nada, Boxer and July were better than both Cool and Rainbow at SC1. So why wouldn't they be able to stand up to the newer players? | ||

1) foreigners 2) BW legends (btw, why does nobody mention iloveoov in this category? he needs more love) 3) more recent BW pros (MVP) 4) sick GSL1 Koreans (Tester, Fruit, Ensnare) 5) WC3 legends (Moon, Lyn) 6) a bunch of new up and comers (Maru the kid?) This is like a clash of different worlds. I'm so excited even just for the qualifiers~ | ||

I thought so too, but if you look at freakin MVP, he started laddering in the last week of August, and is now #1 in the world ladder, after one month of playing. and I doubt he played the beta much because he was still a sc1 pro back then. | ||
