Nope he's a rookie! And he's going up against one of the best in BW. Quite the story.
SC:BW has a higher skill ceiling than SC2? SC 64 is where it's at brah.

Little unfair to hate on flash. Not only splitting his time he has to basically forget everything he knows about BW which is engraned in his brain. The tactics, the way units work, the economy. Besides it being at its base similar its all just completely different. Having to constantly trade units to free supply, which is basically non existant in bw, whole new thing they gotta learn.

For the SC2 buffs of this thread:

How does Effort's skill currently compare to the GSL Code S players at the moment?


High Code A, maybe low Code S. Mechanics definitely top tier.


Let's not go there.
He managed to do a well timed 3 base baneling bust(4th wasn't mining).


I would say he might be able to qualify for Code A, but realize how stacked Code A(And S thenceforrth) is.
It's alot harder than it was the first season. Now we have tons of sick names in Code A, and I think their decision making(and even SC2 macro) is better than the BW players....

so far....

Lol, all sc2 pro would have macro like Effort did when Terran put on zero pressure... He took his third with 20 lings and no spines... Once his production kicked it, not much any Terran can do

Effort played well but it was nothing special. Flash just let him get away with it.

Can't help but think Effort will win this, but will be a fantastic game.

Lizzy and Effort should be the ones playing since they seem to understand SC2 the most at the moment.

From just seeing that one game it's good but not yet impressive.


You can't tell from a game like that. A zerg's skill against terran comes from his ability to stop terran harrassment and find good engagements. Effort got to dictate the terms of the game, so I would say that game was more showing how flash needs some improvement then how effort is top dog.

He macro'd really well.* Can't tell how good he'll be (in ZvT), until you see them trying to macro, defend multiple drops and deal with the main army at the same time.


Put him against MMA and see how well he fares against his drops of hell.


Are you seriously trying to compare somebody who's played SC2 since beta to somebody who's played for a month? Use your brain before posting.

Effort did it! ... I think Flash expands aggressively first, but then slows down the expanding speed - in BW that works better, because there's a lot of back and forth pressure, but here Effort just outexpanded and Flash let him.

The fact he lost is not too shocking, at this point all BW pros are mistake prone.

The fact we watched the most accomplished bw pro play his first game of sc2 is HUGE.

What a weekend for starcraft.

If there's one thing BW pros are better at than SC2 pros, it's management.

Sigh...well, turning in for the night then. Maybe I'll wake up to see that Stork has played an SC2 match, who knows. Good night all, and good luck to the future blooming BWtoSC2 pros

Which orifice did you pull that out from? It's just been 1 match :/


Also, he wasn't pressured at all, so he hasn't really been tested.

Lizzy must be so happy about the mixed league. From Zero to hero

BTW Effort played really well but not really seemed at the level of top SC2 Zergs

Agreed. Altho he had lings, baneilngs, and spine crawlers in position in his main early on in the game. So at the very least he's aware of the pressuure terran is capable of.
