If forGG is Raptor and he does play professinal.

He might play for New Star HoSeo

Talking to the New Star HoSeo players in Sans stream, they all knew who Raptor was and said that he was a big BW player and was playing with them but didnt want people to know who he was.



May I ask where did u watch San's stream?

Would he really switch right now? He left BW at a pretty awkward time. It was the middle of the proleague season while he was still receiving decent playing time.

how many players were better than forgg at bw when he switched or currently today?


It's hard to say exactly. You could just look up his kespa rank at time of retirement, but this is not the most accurate measure of skill. The thing is, BW players can be split into s, a, b, etc. the same as sc2 (not coincidentally). However, BW, having been around so much longer, had a long time to develop and allow differentiation. The code B players in sc2 are often very strong and can easily take games off gsl champions. This really isn't the case in BW. The difference between the B team and S class starleague winners is huge. Along these lines, forgg's performance in BW was around the level of say clide. He was a consistent player that could take games off anyone and would be favored against many. Unlike clide, forgg won his one starleague with a phenomenal run through jaedong and flash. The general opinion was that forgg had a terrific sense of timing and was able to prepare for specific opponents very well, but he did not have the raw skill of the S class players.

To my own understanding:

The only S-class players in the past two years are TBLS: Flash, Jaedong, Bisu and Stork.
There are some almost S-class players during that time including Fantasy, Kal, Calm, and possibly Luxury, Jangbi, Sea and Leta.

S-class in BW is literally the very top. The BW equivalent of the "Code S" of SC2 would be S-Class, A-Class and even B-Class (e.g. Tester, Fruitdealer, and other anomalies). In BW, Forgg would have been considered A-Class when not in a slump. MVP, MC, PuMa would be considered low B-Class, and SangHo would be considered high B-Class.


Yeah, the S, A, B of BW is not the same as codes in SC2. I was just saying it wasn't a coincidence because they take their name from that. By saying forgg was like clide, I was comparing their level of performance in their respective games, not trying to suggest he was S class in BW. Indeed, the classes in SC2 haven't really differentiated themselves to the point where code and class are the same thing at all.

I would pretty much agree that those 4 are the only ones to stay S class over recent times (stork and bisu have had questionable periods), but would include several other players in the almost S-class. Forgg, through most of his career was probably a little below that almost S-class level, but I can't forget that amazing title run. Seriously, crushing your way through Jaedong and Flash in relatively dominant series is practically unheard of.

i always liked him as a player, even when he slumped and i'm excited to see how well he does in SC2 - i wouldn't be surprised if he made it into Code S asap, that is if he takes it seriously.

He's been playing for a while now and hasn't tried qualifying yet. I don't see why he'd all of the sudden start trying to qualify now.

Pretty sure he's just training until he feels ready to make a debut. If he were at the qualifiers in person then I'm sure it'd be making headlines in sc2. It's not that he tried and failed yet, and it seems like he's playing it as more than just a hobby. Relative to most of the top players right now he's only played half that time, so maybe in a few months he'll feel ready.

If you think sc2 terrans make lots of marines wait till you watch this guy. He makes A LOT of fucking marines and a-moves them. I also feel he had a huge influence on Flash's tvz.

He definitely had a major influence on Flash's playstyle.

When Flash does do a timing attack, they are gorgeous and so well orchestrated it reminds me forcibly of fOrGG's timing attacks.

And i think either Flash/fOrGG said in a interview at one point that they really worked on breaking down TvZ together for a loooooong time.
Got that.

I always though that forgg would be one of the strongest sc2 players if he ever switched over, merely because his style of play (timing attacks) would be very friendly to sc2, and he has very solid mechanics...and he's just fucking brilliant in finding very smart builds.

Assuming he takes it extremely seriously, no more than 2 months. Calling it.
