MC states that PvZ is his best matchup, Nestea's ZvP is pretty frightening. Bah, I hope the MC v Nestea this GSL comes true. | ||

Last I checked, he can win at least six GSL tournies a year. That right there is equivalent to the entire package in BW. Chances are he wont win enough GSL's especially with this wrist condition. He'd be better off playing broodwar with the salary he has, it's much more safer for him. | ||

If he switch a year from now he will be two years behind the current Pros, it is quite possible he will end up in code A and never go further. I mean look at Boxer. He was once the best BW player in the world but right now he is only a code B SC2 player. Flash is of course much better then Boxer ever was but I doubt he will dominate SC2. | ||

That's because BoxeR wasn't even A-team material at the time he switched to sc2. | ||

Regardless of how much the payout is for GSL, Flash has a stable career and a solid base with BW, and given that his wrist condition is not that good right now, it'll be a very big mistake to switch to SC2 where nothing is certain. | ||

If Jaedong or Flash switched, they would be so sick good pretty much from the start. However, I also think that players like fantasy, hydra, calm, sea, stork, etc would own it up. Maybe one of them will switch ... that would be cool. Saviour is banned for life, and that makes me sad even if it's deserved. | ||

Boxer coaches and manages a team so he doesn't have as much time to practice. I think Flash won't dominate SC2 but he would do well if he decides to put the time into it, just like NaDa right now who is consistently getting at least top 8 in GSL despite being in school. | ||

Nah Flash would easily be among the best within months of shifting There is a strong correlation between the top SC2 players and success in BW. What confuses things however is that there are a lot of up and coming players in SC2, and a lot of the SC2 BW pros are young, so they might have been doing well in BW now if they stayed too, its hard to know. | ||

Oh, I wasn't saying this was a reason he should make the switch, I was just saying his remark was wrong. | ||

I didn't see Bisu ROFLSTOMPING MC, that's apparently something only you see - i saw him win convincingly. You think there isn't a huge skill difference between BiSu and MC in bw... talk about ignorance... | ||

Sad part is it probably just isn't going to happen for a long time =( This sounds like such fanboyism. BW pros are gods among men but people on these forums hype it up too much sometimes. | ||

Forget the speculation, lets actually see it happen (Yes, I know that the KESPA meetings are rumoured, but it doesn't change the fact that there is a possibility there) | ||
