I didn't follow BW, but I want to see if I'm understanding this correctly. You guys are basically saying that if the BW pro scene ended tomorrow, then in 6 months to a year, all the best SC2 players in the world would be Koreans? Unless I'm missing out on some godly foreign RTS pro scene that hasn't transitioned to SC2 yet, that's basically what you guys are saying right? Like I mean pretty much the top 20 SC2 players wouldn't have any foreigners in it?

It's already the case, with maybe few exceptions...

I think it would be interesting to see how some of the broodwar pro's like Flash and Bisu would do in SC2.

lol.

the only thing people have when they switch from sc1 to sc2 is:

- similar RTS model/game style.
- mechanics (to an extent - because again, not clone model, new keys).

game sense does not switch over because its different for different games. the TYPE of game sense required and type of practice required, knowledge and understanding of these things, does switch over.

but thats all.

Anyone who understands rts and plays as much as flash would become one of the better players imo. Most A-Teamers would probably be incredibly good if they wanted to play it.

Was Iron good at BW? I know he was a B-Teamer so he was better than any foreigner but I only remember seeing a few replays of him and they weren't that amazing by progamer standards.

Of course Flash would be at the top if he switched, but he wouldnt be as successfull as he was in BW imo (which is a good reason not to switch), because sc2 doesnt reward the better player as much as BW does (you can die to a LOT of things really quickly, because the game isn't figured out as much).

Flash would take months to reach the state SC2 players are now. I doubt he'll magically become equally good or successful as he is in BW.

Well... if Flash had motivation.... I think it's the psychology of a winner that makes you truly good. Flash has it.

But motivation for SC2.... I doubt I doubt.

top 20 SC2 players might consist of at most 1/4 foreigners even now. being generous with 1/2 (10 of them), it would not be surprising if enough bw pros switched over such that these theoretical 10 slots could be filled, but keep in mind not all of these bw pros that could switch over will become top players

if top bw pros switched to sc2, it would probably be in 3 years after all of the sc2 expos are allready out and they could start learning the game from a finalized perspective.

as far as translating skill flash and jaedong would be good at absolutely anything that involves a mouse. im positive with their mechanics, game sence and training experience they could be top counterstrike2 pros, dota2 pros or any other esport with a high skillcap. learning how to train to be the best is hugely important and easily transferable to another game if they could give it 100% of their time. plus their still young enough no one would consider their performance negatively impacted by age.

i dont even really watch bw much anymore but the current top bw players are the top esport players who have ever lived.

Flash would dominate pretty quickly. This guy is incredibly talented, his abilities to make the best decision on the spot, his work ethic, his abilities to innovate, his strategical and tactical thinking, his winner mentality are almost unparalled. And I'm pretty sure those qualities would transfer to any RTS.

To give you guys some context, Flash parents opposed him becoming a programmer. He told them, let me try one month this summer, if I don't manage, I will give up. To do that he had to win courage, which is an extremely hard single elimination tournament. Jaedong had to try 10 times. And he did it first time. In a month. This is talent.

Well, there might be some obstacle. I think one of the reason he is that good is that he really loves the game, he has stated that a few times. I'm not sure it would be the same for sc2. Another thing is that sc2 skill-ceiling might be too low, so his win rate might not be as sick.
But all this discussion is pointless, as he's not going to switch =)

Oh my, you have no idea how talented Flash is. He got his progaming license in a month - that's one Courage League. It took Jaedong, the second best player to grace BW, like ten attempts at Courage to get one.

He has the talent (imo the most talented RTS player ever), work ethic, motivation, the right environment to practice. I really doubt it'd take him more than a month to start dominating SC2 as hard as the game itself allows for.

anyone who doesn't believe that TBLS would be the best four SC2 players nearly overnight either doesn't know who they are or is deluded.

SC2 isn't a game you can just pick up and play and beat everyone based on your BW instincts, as some other legends have shown. People like Nada and July have basically had to relearn the game from scratch, because it is a new game. It took a lot of work for them to even get to the same level as most of the other pros.

I can see Flash getting there a bit faster though.


As I recall, Nada and Boxer in particular made a pretty deep run in GSL not long after they had switched.

Im quite sure GSL2 was their 1st tourney, where they reached r08 and r04 respectively.

it is already (almost) the case now, i think lol

people who didnt watch scbw probably have a different understanding of 'pro'.

cant wait to see the 'real pros' switch over perfect execution of every strat/response down to split seconds. esport = SEX!!!!

just imagine idra's mechanics would be the average standard of pros. ya, got that?
is 2017, stop being lame, fuck's sakes. 'Can't wait for the rise of the cakes and humanity's last stand tbqh.'
