This is what makes SC2 so good, all the top players from basically every previous RTS are going to come out and play SC2, and we'll get to see who's really the best of the best. GSL S2 keeps getting better and better.

I expect MVP to take the next GSL, by far the best SC BW pro that transferred over, of course I personally would love to see Boxer win instead!

i think in a new game like that its more of a bonjwaness qualities that count.
I'd personally expect more success from Moon then from MVP:x
Besides i'm sure if Nada or July were still motivated by SCBW they would be better at SCBW then MVP anyway.

Isn't Julyzerg, FantaPrime? If so I am not that impressed thus far. I'm very impressed by BoxeR's play so far though. I know Julyzerg can do better and I haven't seen him play since like 2 months so don't hold my words against me

I didn't follow Warcraft 3 but seems like Moon is the top dog. If that's the case, I expect top 8 easily from him since Check can get there. I love their micro style.

Can't wait for NaDa though. Anyone have replays of him on SC2?

Now we all wait for Flash and Jaedong to transition as well lmao

but also sucks to see oGsTheSTC not participate. He is one of the best Terran players thus far. I've watched some of his recent replays and he did get somewhat better. He needs to work on his supply blocking though.

Lucifer is RohJinWook's brother?

MY MIND IS BLOWN.

Hence the nicknames. Saint Michael / Archangel Michael is the leader of the army of God and fights the devil and stuff aka Lucifer. If you look for St. Michael paints you will notice he is drawn as an angel with a sword or spear pointing to a demon or a dragon.
That also explains why he changed his aka to RJW after his brother retired. lol

We hear a lot of big names switching over, but I highly doubt many of them will go far seeing as they're fairly new compared to those who got a lot of hands on experience during the beta testing phases (even if some of them have 1000 games in the bag). This season will be fairly more interesting though.

Oh Lyn too!

So many big names, GSL 2 will be ultra interresting if they all make it to the Ro64.

I kinda want to know what ToD is doing too, didnt heard of him for ages.

+ Show Spoiler +

ToD plays poker. I used to play HoN with him but he has seemingly retired from progaming. When I asked him to play SC2 with me his reply was, "Nah, I don't want to get addicted".

Why are you guys all in a tizzy over hearing this kind of news? There is $100K in the prize pool... the players mentioned in the OP are PROGAMERS. Eventually, as their main game dies in popularity or prize pool they will naturally gravitate to another game (e.g. texas hold 'em).

BW Koreans are loyal to Kespa but as it implodes from hubris and pride more and more BW pros will switch (as long as the prize pools keep coming in). They, no doubt, cannot wait to be free from the fascist kespa regime.

as this is orginally a SCBW forum, do not confused the Lucifer people are mentioning with RJW with the BW player Lucifer

this is an entirely different Lucifer from wc3 who played undead while his brother under the name "MicheaL" who played human (DK/Paladin, the brothers archangels, etc)

just to clear up any confusion

Moon???

This is the best news I've heard all week (it's been a slow week).

Of all the WC3 players, I think Moon can/will do the best in SC2. Not only because he is probably the greatest WC3 player that has ever played, but because of his playstyle. He has outstanding micro but more importantly he has a mass expand macro strategy that he has used extreme effectively in the past. A style that leads perfectly to SC2 play.

God I hope he is a zerg player. It is a race that is perfectly suited for him.

Side note, I wouldn't expect much from these WC3 players in GSL2. I mean, remind/lyn have probably had 0 time to practice. They most definately have put in all their time to practicing for WCG. Remind/Lyn were both missing that covetedly WCG title (and in Lyns case, I'm pretty sure it's the only major WC3 tournament he has never won). So I'm sure they haven't touched any SC2 for awhile. They probably didn't even leave the states til 2-3 days ago. So yea, don't expect much from them just yet.
