Only more good things will come if we show increased interest, but they can only reliably reference official stream views, so let's get on it!.

Yeah, we just saw games with no micro, no metagame, 0 knowledge of the game, and mediocre macro.
Please go ahead and tell me who and when showed "incredible potential" in these games.
Because I'm pretty sure you're implying they have "incredible potential" solely based on the fact that they're fucking good at BW.
no micro, mediocre macro? hahaha what games were you watching
Please dont feed him. Unfortunetaly sc2 attracted a lot of trolls to this website.
people just get mad cause every bw viewer was saying bw players would DOMINATE sc2 players with no practice, it was sad and retarded, still, they have a lot of potential and will be showing it with time, but overhyping them is just bad

I guess you missed Flash surviving that first attack on the natural because of perfect micro and tank targetting. I guess you missed Effort maxing out on ling/bling/muta in 13 minutes I guess you missed Lizzy doing a sick pre-broodlord timing while teching up to mothership AND taking a fourth base ... clearly no knowledge of the game there at all.
And I suppose these players who have no micro, no metagame knowledge and horrible macro aren't top masters/gm players (hint: they are) after two months while having to practice for two games.
Just forget it. The stubborn SC2 fans won't acknowledge the rawr talent and quick improvement of the BW pros, and the BW elitists will never accept that SC2 is a great game still in its making and will always refer to 1a death balls. Just enjoy the games, man. Enjoy these great players accepting a new challenge and just rally behind them like we used to do for the past 10 years.
Well said, sir.
I've watched a few of the games and do really like the BW players use of the Warp Prism. Something so impressive about seeing Protoss units warped in right on the front line rather than proxy pylons. For some reason, most top Protoss players don't yet make sufficient use of the WP. Dare I say it, it's also nice not seeing the Colossus - but they'll have to use it eventually.

Yes, they are casting for television and it's not HD, so it's 4:3 to fit TV
