I'm thinking this might be a slight mis-translation. Like maybe he meant "SC2 is getting more difficult, increasing in it's difficulty in relation to BW". That's possible, right? Or maybe he thinks, like others have said, that since the mechanics are easier the strategy and micro have potential to be more important? Who knows. The important thing is he thinks Sc2 is worth his time. Instant legitimacy boost to SC2 as a successor to BW.

The guy still has fight left in him. Didn't he get to Semis of the last GOM BW tournament before getting knocked out by Flash? and 2008 wasn't all that long ago.

Wow, I've always been a toss guy, but the Swarm has all my sentimental favorite players now (except TLO, of course). CellaWeRRa, Ret, JulyZerg. Those guys are going to be my favorites until Reach joins the fight for Aiur.

And it begins...

excited to see such a high profile player switch to SC2. Even if he totally rofl fails at SC2 (which, for the record, I highly doubt he will) the fan base he will draw to the game will honestly be worth Blizzard paying for the advertising he gives, just for being July.

Also, maybe this decision will influence some of his peers (the other top gamers of his time) to switch over.

Finally, shame on everyone flaming July. If you don't know who he is, look him up on Liquipedia, he has a very long page detailing everything about his gaming life, including the fact that HE WON 3 OSLs AND INVENTED MUTA MICRO (ok maybe he didn't invent muta micro, but he sure as shit made the jaws drop of little nerdlings everywhere, and made them wanna be just like July *cough* savior *double cough* Jaedong.

It would be really nice also to have savior, hwasin and upmagic in sc2.
As long as Kespa don't have anything to do with sc2 this should be at least possible.

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!

JulyPrime would be an awesome name. Although I do like Fanta. It's exciting to see him switch over!

watching the Last Ep of Old Boy (nal_ra's series) made me think that July probably has to make the most from the next GSL (and more to come) to have his big break in the scene before having to go to National Service : (

Hopefully he can make great play in the next GSL. Cause atm, the play level is pretty week imo, I cannot wait for the final so we can see high level of play. July will surely bring other player to start.

Happy to see that.
