But again, perhaps the explanation is that the current top sc1 players thrive in games that are very well developed. In any case, whether due to money, love of competition, or just pride, the incentives are there for anyone capable to compete in sc2 (excepting legal constraints). Yeah, well, if you are a top sc1 player, why not stay in sc1 and keep dominating? Why switch to sc2 which is a different game? Honestly, if you have the kind of character to reach the top of BW mountain, then I doubt you're a type of person who follows money. Love of competition? They may love to compete in BW, but not sc2. (ex: I love to compete in chess, but I careless about golf) Plus, as of right now, I'm sure there is way more competition in top BW than sc2. Pride? If you are a top BW player, you've done something very few people can achieve and nobody can take that away. (ex: Usain Bolt is the best sprinter in the world, and I bet he careless about the fact that he's not the best marathon runner.) Once again, I use these examples, because sc2 is a different game from BW. | ||

No, that's not logical at all. Micro in WC3 was extremely different than in SC and you can't expect it to translate that well. The expectations placed upon WC3 players on this forum are absolutely ridiculous. No one gives any credit to the fact that this is SC2 and not WC4. Of course if it was WC4 all you would hear on this forum is "BW players need more time to adjust, you can't judge them at all yet". | ||

I've seen some good micro but nothing that made me actually say damn. That happened all the time in BW and the very few games of WC3 I watched. And I think he will fail if he tries to do both things at once. Dedicate your time to one thing or you will start to suck at what you're good at and never get good at the other. | ||

The hybrid status can only hurt his performance on both games, let´s be honest here...no one can be top player sharing playtime like that. These games require full time commitment if you really want to be pro. | ||

This tells me, quite clearly, that Flash, Jaedong, etc. (assuming they're legally allowed to compete; they are, right?) themselves don't think they can make the switch to sc2 without a lot of difficulty. No, it's because 80k isn't attractive enough for them. Flash made like 500k last year why would he switch | ||

If he focuses completly on sc2 he can and will have great succes because grubbys greatest skill is his tactical knowledge and his decisionmaking. And hell yeah you need that in sc2 | ||

To all the BW more apm than WC3, it's true it does require more apm. But that doesn't stop some players. Focus with average of 450 apm and going up to 630 apm in battles. Happy would also always be over the 400 apm bar. | ||
