As it is, this is only the beginning of something bigger- which may or may not end up happening. Yeah seriously. Aside from the rumours/inside news in the post over my head, a guy switching to sc2 because he sucked balls at bw and couldn't renew his contract, is not a serious sign of anything. Contrary to what many posts including the OP are calling "significant". Is it as significant as sangho switching over, or intotherainbow? I doubt it. The impression that some "ex-progamers" are switching to sc2 because sc1 required too much skill/commitment, must already have been made on koreans, and i doubt this + Show Spoiler + MBCGame Zero | ||

Um, isn't it true that even the worst Korean pro gamers annihilate the vast majority of foreign players in BW? Though I find this news less exciting than the Nada vs TLO showmatch (and its consequence drama,) to call this event trivial is pretty near-sighted. At the very least, it shows that Korean pros can and will switch over given the right circumstances. | ||

a) Sucked too much to be given a chance play broadcasted Sc1 games (JulyZerg) b) Had a mediocre brood war career so they switched over to make a name for themselves (theSTC, Tester, and now Iron). With no offense to the man, I don't really see this as too significant. He switched to SC2 because his BW career more or less tanked. I remember he was pretty far down in the in house rankings | ||

Right now it just seems to have become a haven for subpar progamers who either a) Sucked too much to be given a chance play broadcasted Sc1 games (JulyZerg) b) Had a mediocre brood war career so they switched over to make a name for themselves (theSTC, Tester, and now Iron).

I remember he was pretty far down in the in house rankings Sorry to bump this but is there anyone to find a definitive list of the brood war players that now play sc2? I know July, Tester, TheSTC, IntotheRainbow, Iron, Cool, Junwi. Any that I am missing? | ||

Me too, probably won't ever happen for various reasons. Would be nice though to see that like some of what we see in Halo or Street Fighter. | ||

you should be WAY more concerned in the fact that the new players are not going to BW this is REALLY a bad omen for BW | ||
