Nice to see July back in action! He couldn't seem to keep up with his STX teammates lately so this is definitely the right move for him. No doubt that the guy will be a total beast and one of the very top players for at least a good few months.

BW will die, eventually. New players now start with SC2, so this is the end of days of BW.


Amazing logic here sir......

Everyone, please try and stop derailing every single thread into a BW vs SC2 discussion. Thanks.

GL guys.

As soon as you realize that the Koreans will slowly start to switch over, you will be getting raped nonstop back and forth brutally just like in BW. Isn't the reason why people moved to SC2 mainly because they knew they wouldn't become the best? But in SC2, everyone gets that fair chance of becoming a top player. I mean, look at -orb- a C- BW toss that became a known SC2 player (this applies to many other players as well).

I wonder what you guys will then, when it becomes Korea > rest of the world again. SC3?? lulz

Nice. Hopefully he'll play Z because without a patch they really need some help with innovating and intuition type stuff.
Please PM me with any songs you like that you think I haven't heard before!

Hopefully he'll give zerg some TLC upon arrival. I can't see him ever changing race for some strange reason.....

Looking forward to it.

Really? Is there something wrong with playing a game where someone else is better at it? Is there something wrong with pro-players coming into the game and creating revolutionary playstyles and tactics where we can learn from and emulate? Did all of us SC2 players expect to become super-pros and not think that the koreans would have raped us regardless?

Come on... this is just rude.

KESPA GOIN DOWWWWWWN~!

EDIT: I say that of course because they are clearly trying to boycott sc2 and one of their strategies was to prevent progamers to go there so older fans wouldn't follow. Sorry though.

Sc2 - Where former BW pro gamer retire after they can't keep up with a more APM intensive game.

Actually, July has massive APM. Had well around 500(sometimes 600) in his peak, so I don't think speed is the problem.

and thus switched to a game where the general level of mechanical skill is lower.



Can you prove that? Mechanical skill seems to be on par with each other with extra, mechanics thrown in to make things more attention based read: Larvae/Chrono Boost.

I'd agree with in combat micro but, as it stands thats a dubious assumption due to the novelty of the game everyone makes so many mistakes *watch the GSL* that micro is often not needed to a high regard because you mostly out number or out comp the opposing player.

I have yet to see an example of stark game mechanics where BW requires MORE apm. Yes SC2 has mechanics made simpler but there has been so many more added that I don't see either game having a difference in skill.

Besides, what determines skill in a game isn't the mechanics it'self it's your opponent.
