You will definitely see more BW players switching over to SC2, B-teamers for example. Or anyne who just sits on the bench and doesn't get to play broadcasted games I guess. SC2 will be the right move for them as they won't achieve much for themselves or their team at this point. Mind as well start a fresh endeavour, at least they'll stand a chance.

I am so excited to watch these former BW pros play in the GSL. It'll be interesting to see what they can do with their mechanics and hand speed.
Weird, last time I checked the UN said you need to have at least 200 APM and be rainbow league to be called human. —Liquid`TLO

I am going to S.Korea in February!

I hope I will get to see some Pro SC:BW and some Pro SC2...
just hope I'll get right in that transitional period.

If I had to chose, I'd rather see more Pro BW. I've seen it before and want to see it live again... I'll have plenty of time to see more SC2 given what we have seen so far in Europe.

Will be really interesting to see how the transition goes...

GSL banned all of the "disgraced" BW gamers, so I don't think he will be playing.

just seems like he was forced to move to sc2 because he couldn't compete in sc1.

He shouldn't, why would he? He was wrongfully accused. I believe his reputation was destroyed through the rumours that he was involved though, but he's not a disgraced BW gamer.

It's great that former "B-Teamers" will get a chance to excel at SC2.

If IdrA's any indication, hopefully we'll be seeing some awesome games from these guys in the near future.

Most of the lower-echelon "pros" will be doing similar moves in the near future. Those who can't negotiate terms due to either sucking, wanting too much, etc. will all likely transition to SC2. They've sacrificed their lives, education, social life, etc. to become progamers so they have no other real option then to turn to SC2 at this point.

So it begins?

Because a guy who couldnt renegotiate his contract due to poor results you say it begins?

Come again?

Well, yeah. If the BW scene was in a terminal crisis, then the correct way to call that would be a terminal crisis. As it is, this is only the beginning of something bigger- which may or may not end up happening.

In the GSL rules there was something about GSL being able to deny players from participating if they were unfit. I believe in a later interview with the GSL they clarified this to mean that match-fixers would not be given the opportunity to participate in the GSL.

Wasn't this the guy that danced to Mister in the hyungjoon show? Sad that he left MBC... even if he hasn't done much for the team. Doesn't seem like any of the S-class players will be switching to sc2 anytime soon though


and rapped Outsider quite well.

For anyone who still doesn't know who they are talking about, he was aka Flounder in the show.

I think it is interesting to see which pros switch over faster in the hopes that SC2 catches on. I doubt we will see many mainstream players switch until they are sure that SC2 is going to take off though.


Oh Flounder! I had no idea for a moment there but I was thinking "hmmm I know that face..." his "Mister" dancing was hilarious.

Interesting to see him move across, however I do agree with some of the others - you'd think he would have a better chance in SC2 than SC1!
