Having seem 1000s of BW games, and posted 100+ doesn't make you enable you with the gift of foresight to the letter on how well or how fast Flash(or any other top BW player for that matter) would transition. There is a chance it even blinds you from objectivity, because you are a big follower of BW and Flash.

Flash wasn't good when he started out before he slowly became better and better. So if he worked hard to get good at SC1, it's likely the same with SC2.

Also while the two SCs are different, they're still very similar in the way they're played (that is the way you control units, make structures, etc). If you're good at micro + macro in SC1, those skills carry over to SC2.

Speaking of work ethic, it seems a lot of SC players have good work ethic. A good reason to hire former pro SC players - they're probably not likely to slack off (playing the game 10-15 hours a day can be really tedious)

I can't believe MC has the massive balls to say such a gutsy thing as "flash would be good at (insert game here)"

Very surprising thing to read, feel like the translation was lost a little bit or something, otherwise MC is just mad since of course without a doubt Flash or JD or Bisu or any of those top guys would be sick at SC2, or probably any game for that matter. They got that good by the skill of learning and developing themselves in BW, I would think it would be the same regardless of what it was they were shooting for game wise.
