Guemchi switched to SC2, then went back to BW. explain how Guemchi was able to avoid Kespa's wrath or are you just making stuff up? | ||

Simple as that. ;; Kespa is continuing to do its darndest to try and stem SC2's popularity.

I have no idea about Guemchi's case, I'm not aware of the technical details surrounding his BW -> SC2 -> BW switches. Last I heard is that you get your Korean progamer license taken away by Kespa (i.e. have to hand it in beforehand) if you plan to play SC2. I think this is correct, yes? What other reason would Kespa have for doing this other than creating another barrier for their BW players to switch? Seems very much in line with their previous tactics and considering the [legal] dispute between Kespa and Blizzard surrounding the SC2 launch. But if there is another explanation for that, I'd love to hear it and be educated about it.  | ||

We will see more international tournaments in SC2 compared to StarCraft: Broodwar and this will make the change natural for me. I want to build my reputation abroad and reach out to the international audience but when I decide to change game I can not say, it can be today, it can be tomorrow it can be in a couple of years.  Flash"There is much talk in Europe that this may be the last final between you and Jaedong because of Starcraft 2’s strong advance. How does it feel to hear such a thing? - There are plenty of opportunities to see us in Korea and it is definitely not the last chance to see us play against each other since we will continue to play Starcraft: BW for at least five more years. After WCG it's quiet for about a month so I will try to have some vacation." But this was back in 2010, before sc2 came out. How about now? And why would flash say at least 5 more years? So we wont see flash or jaedong play until 2015? really? | ||

 If you just all argue-lovers follow BW scene and try at least a little to understand whats going on there, you'll understand why no one here needs to "switch" anywhere. | ||

WCG happened after sc2 came out.If say,sc2 surpassed BW after 5 years,JD and flash will still need to go for military etc, so we wont see them playing sc2 for quite a long time. | ||

Or how about: BW is currently the better spectator sport, is way more competitive (and progamers love competition by default), is more challenging than SC2, gives more real life fame and is way more profitable, especially when you're as good as Flash? Makes more sense to me. ;; | ||

Nada looked quite beastly in his showmatch against TLO back during IEM Cologne, even though he only played SC2 for a week or two and was then still on WeMade Fox's BW team. If the Blizzard vs Kespa bullshit wasn't happening, perhaps we might see some similar show matches. Of course, we don't live in such a utopia... | ||

Let them practice up during an off week, then play against a well-known SC2 player. No need to commit to SC2, especially for just one show match. The curious SC2 fans get to see how the current BW gods fare in a new game, and the BW fans won't fear anyone completely switching over to the "inferior" game.

Remember what Kespa did when NaDa played a showmatch at Gamescom while still a BW player? | ||

WeMade FOX has two (three? does Soccer play SC2?) former WC3 progamers competing in SC2. None of the BW teams have SC2 teams, so I guess it is a problem with Kespa and the teams as well. Want to play SC2? You have to leave your team. Want to leave your team? You have to hand in your progaming license. Pretty clever, actually.
