From what i've seen from him so far he is an excellent player in sc2, even with the current state of zerg and will probably be in the forefront of tournaments and e-sports in the future. Golden mouse will carry him!

Because I didn't have many opportunities to play in official matches, I felt my purpose on the team diminish.

I just want to say that SC2 is gaining credibility.

The more Korea recognizes SC2 as an e-sports, the more the community will grow strong like BW. It will take time though.


BOXEEERR, be the second to announce your switch over!!!!

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.

User was temp banned for this post.


Its the korean approach that makes them much more superior to the NA/EU in a game like starcraft. They simply just are more dedicated and have a better structure on how to practice effectively. I would love to see some foreigner really take sc2 by the reigns and become dominate, or just more foreigners who can compete in these gsl tournaments with the koreans. I am super excited to see the old school bw players to come over though.


Honestly, I think it's a combination of the two. There have been plenty of foreigners that have gone to Korea to train, and none of them have ever been mechanically strong compared to Koreans.

Is it so hard to imagine that being Korean could actually have a genetic advantage? Obviously it's ridiculous to say Koreans are genetically better at Starcraft, but perhaps more that Asians are, in general, more agile/nimble and have faster reflexes than foreigners. Look at the sports Asians excel at at the Olympics for instance... it is a thought.

July was a ladder monster, back in the day, before he became progamer.
i totally imagine him capable of doing like 100 games per day for SC 2 too. :p

It seems to me, from the translated remarks above in the OP, that July (and seemingly other pro-sc:bw players) have tried SC2, but since it was so early in it's life, it seemed immature as a game and they thought it sucked. But after they figured out there is other levels to the game and that people can do all of these amazing things, and that they just sucked at the game at the start that they will now give it a chance.

Just me speculating on this from very little to no information, but it could make sense considering they are just now turning to the game after the GSL was announced and that they realized there is a lot of potential for this game, dare I say more than sc:bw.

Hope there will be more ProTeams in the future in Korea. This pushs SC2 more then Gretech/Kespa can negotiate.

July fighting! Bring it on!
I am excited!

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!


He's not joining Prime -- read the article


I did :s

He revealed that he will be joining a Starcraft 2 team

July will be joining a new Starcraft 2 team


I know Prime is already a well known team but it's not very old yet. They weren't around for BW, right?
Seeing as he was playing as FantaPrime, I assumed he would go to Prime... Good news though, more Pro-Teams being created can only be good for the game.

July will be joining a new Starcraft 2 team that is in the middle of creation

No, no one who actually plays BW thinks SC2 is more difficult. What I think he means is, compared to when he started playing for the first time, the game has gotten more complex and deeper, becoming hard to pick up right away and dominate.
