The "God of War", July, has officially announced that he will be moving to Starcraft 2.

July, who belonged in STX Soul, did not recontract after his contract ended at the end of August. He revealed that he will be joining a Starcraft 2 team in order to take up on another challenge. Thus, July is the second progamer, after Iron, to officially announce his move to Starcraft 2. He is the first of the three "Top Star" Progamers to officially announce the fact.

July will be joining a new Starcraft 2 team that is in the middle of creation, run by a coach who has previously coached in a Progame team before. There are other players such as Kim Song Jae, Lee Chang Hoon, and Shim So Myung, and they will have an official announcement regarding their creation sometime soon.

When asked about why he was transitioning to Starcraft 2, he said that "Because I didn't have many opportunities to play in official matches, I felt my purpose on the team diminish. I really wanted to play in a match. During this time, I got to play Starcraft 2. At the beginning, I didn't have much interest in it, but over time, I got more and more interested and soon after I decided that I wanted to be active as a gamer in Starcraft 2 as I got better at the game."

Regarding Starcraft 2's gameplay, he said that "I think the game has gotten more difficult compared to the original", adding that "But because I had experience playing Starcraft as a progamer, I'm getting better rapidly." He added that "I'm currently the first place in my Diamond League, and I'm over 1500 points".

Regarding his playing in the TG Sambo-Intel SC2 Open Season 2, he said that "My goal obviously is to win", and added a confident remark, saying that "I've been watching the players who has passed the preliminaries of Season 1, and I thought I could have definitely won"

Finally, July said that "There may be a lot of people who knew about this before, and there may be a lot of you who only learned about this through this article, but I am planning on being as diligent as I was when I was active as a Starcraft progamer", and adding that "While I'm now active in Starcraft 2, I am asking for my fans to continue to cheer for me just as before".

JULY FIGHTING!!! What a beast! Zerg swarm incoming
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crown and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness.

1500 diamond, about right.

I just LoL at all those retards that were like, OMG WHEN KOREAN PRO SWITCH OVER, ITS GG for NA/EU.

No its not. Shutup. Koreans are human like the rest of the world.

There are certain players that are gifted such as (perhaps) Flash and Jaedong. But thats flash and jaedong. THAT IS NOT ALL KOREAN PLAYERS. People mix the two up.

I cant wait to see top names like nada and bisu swap over as kespa dies out but I wonder what percent will change races, like idra and artosis.

Kinda sad to see July not play BW anymore but he didn't really get much play-time while on STX anyway so I guess this is better for him.
'Hope to see him do well in SC2. He might not be much in BW anymore, but he is still only one of three people with a golden mouse and for that, I have a ton of respect.

My favourite BW Zerg! :D

This news pleases me greatly, but I really hope that July steps up his game! From the few games I've seen of him, he's certainly good, but I wouldn't put him at the very top of the Zerg pile . I want to see July completely dominate everyone in SC2!

Awww, sad to see such a legend retire from BW. But at least we'll get to see him play SC2. Hope he kicks ass!

I fear the level of competition will take a huge boost in the next few month ... July was such a monster at BW back in the days.

Vz0, if you imply July is not gifted for RTS then you must have little knowledge of progaming.

JulyZerg was featured in the first promatch I ever watch. It will be really interesting to see him playing SC2 for everyone to watch.
10% of the time, I am awesome.

This is July you are talking about here... the god damn mutha-fing 818 APM July. If July isn't gifted, I don't know who is.

So will he be playing as JulyZerg or keep his new FantaPrime name? Actually, it would have to become JulyPrime, right?

Anyways, my first favorite pro-gamer joining SC2. Sad for BW but awesome for SC2! July Hwaiting!
