The reason they would do so well is work ethic. That's probably the reason they succeeded for so long in sc2; just crazy persistence and discipline. Practicing 12+ hours/day for several months to become a champion is an accomplishment, but its something many people are probably capable of if the motivation is there. Doing it for years, ignoring distractions, and avoiding slump-inducing activities is what takes absolutely amazing dedication and separates Flash/JD from the Nada/ooV/Savior/Chojja types. yeah sure because boxer had not dedication , rotfl he play for like ten years, flash only for 5...

(Hint: No.) Can't believe some people argue against the fact that SC2 was made for easier play. For one thing, among many things, is decreased difficulty to macro. Worker auto-mining, scv auto-repair, ability to select multiple production buildings for production/WP setting, etc. in BW, to play at top level, one must be able to have high enough apm to do proper macro, as well as microing and making proper game decisions. In SC2, any normal Joe can macro properly with ease. There's no doubt there's decreased skill ceiling and gap between top players and avg players. In BW, u wouldn't expect to see Flash losing to an average progamer. Maybe he would lose one game out of a hundred. If he's to transfer to SC2, I would expect Flash to lose to average players from time to time, just cause the game isn't as competitive in nature as BW. | ||

I'm interested to see how the Patch 1.33 changes will effect MC's play as a lot of his attacks are 1/2 base timing attacks such as the 6 gate or variations of the 4 gate. Also, it's so early in StarCraft 2 that it's hard to say definitively that there is a best player. However, I think you can say it for match-ups. For example, Mvp has the best TvT, Nestea has the best ZvZ, you could argue that MC has the best PvP (PvP is a joke of a match-up at the moment. Then you could say the best TvZ is players like Mvp again and the best PvZ is players like san or MC. But I mean both Mvp and MC (the two best players in the world in my opinion) both have weak match-ups (TvP and PvT respectively). OT: Flash = Deep Blue of StarCraft. | ||

Boxer was only consistent for 2-3 of those years, and in his prime, the competition was relatively worse. The game just wasn't played at as high of a level as it is now, Flash's dominance is far more impressive, and I guarantee he puts in more hours now than Boxer put in during his reign. | ||

You seriously have no idea how talented and good at RTS Flash is. To give you an idea: 1. NaDa played an even match against TLO after having played the game for 1-2 weeks, and he was a borderline A-team player at that time. 2. SC2 is currently dominated by former BW progaming scrubs. 3. The BW progaming scene is much more competitive than any other RTS game. Qualifying for BW leagues (MSL, OSL) is harder than winning major tournaments in other RTS games. 4. Flash is the best BW player of all time, both skill wise and talent wise. He got his progaming license after a month of training, FFS, on his first attempt. It took the second best player ten tries. Flash has dominated the said scene for years, winning several titles last year. If you think Flash wouldn't be at the very top of SC2 after merely a couple of weeks of training you're deluding yourself, tbh. Honestly, what are your reasons for thinking otherwise? Have you ever seen Flash play? Have you ever watched BW games? The games are similar enough that former BW progamers dominate the Korean scene. | ||

I agree with most but saying Flash is the best BW player of all time ^_^. too be fair though I do think it would take Jaedong/Flash more then 2 weeks too get at "top" level. Its a whole new game with a lot of different shit, I could see it taking a month about too be able to play at high level. | ||

You've never played BW, or just played Fastest possible or UMS in BW You obviously haven't explored TLPD enough, because I'm pretty sure watching any of the VODS of Flash, Jaedong, Bisu and Stork in the last 2 years, will have shown you how INCREDIBLE they are  FYI, MVP is like a borderline A teamer, who had a sub-par winning ratio in BW. People give him a lot of credit because he IS the best to switch over so far, and he took a game off Flash (the 48 minute EPIC T v T). So yea - if a borderline A teamer can rip up SCII, then I don't know what the current "gods" of BW are going to do if they switch over. Grandmasters in 1 month is a conservative estimate. GSL Code A in 1-2 qualifiers is expected. However, the game is still young and all the timings / strategies haven't been explored, which makes some games a coin-flick at times unfortunately. That said, S-classers lile Flash, Jaedong, Bisu, Stork; even A-teamers like calm, zero, shine (zerg), stats, best, (protoss) and Fantasy, Mind, Leta, Light, Baby (Terran) would hit the top of SCII in no time. | ||

Kids who don't understand BW shouldn't pretend to be able to understand the past. Just in case you didn't understand that (I somehow doubt it): past data shows SC2 is dominated by ex-BW pros, and the most skilled ex-BW pros at the time of SC2 release (e.g. MC, MVP etc.) have shown a positive correlation between BW skill with SC2 success. Thus, we use past data to try and predict the future. Which is miles better than NOT using past data and predicting the future, which is what a ton of SC2-only noobs are trying to do. | ||
