Im hoping this guy would try and play for a team and in the GSL, I would want to see how a real A-Teamer pro could do in sc2 so all this debate about how bw players would dominate or wouldn't dominate can finally come end


No one said anything about bw players dominating. We said TLBS will dominate, not just any old bw palyer.


Most of the players dominating in the korean scene are ex BW pros so yes bw players are dominating .

What's the equivalent of a 2fac in SC2? Because once that build gets figured out, forGG will be terrible again.

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


I'd say less.


He was never the creative monster that most other players were, but a very great executioner of strats, timings, and build orders. He will most likely be a force to recon with, but there are some kids that are practicing now for SC2 that have the mind of flash, or the micro of jaedong and those kids will dominate the game for a long time to come.

Uh, no there isn't? The true pros who fit those qualities are playing Brood War. Maybe eventually though if Korea really switches over.

This could be interesting. If forgg starts playing seriously he will be the first decent bw pro to do that.

Watch more GSTL. Then remember that flash and jd while both excellent players built their strategy off of other's work. These kids have to invent everything themselves while improving their mechanics/micro.

I highly doubt hes going to switch over, does no one recall why he retired in the first place? Had nothing to do with sc2 nor his career, it was family related obligations. I believe his mother was sick...? I doubt these things have cleared up so rapidly that merely ten days after his retirement he picked up starcraft2 and seriously considered, and began the project, of becoming a pro at that as well.

If it is him, hes a gamer, its just what he does. But hes focusing on his family right now.

edit: also how the hell did this guy end up in gold?

Flash's double armory build disagrees with you.

you are really writing MVP off after a slump this recent? hes the most dominant terran we have seen in sc2 thus far how can you consider him not even a PART of the "very top teir". maybe in his current slump he is no longer the best terran in the world but he is without a doubt one of them.


he's been slumping for quite a bit. Plus, not many people count the WC win as seriously as a regular GSL season. Imo, MVP probably like Nada; definitely good, but just under the top tier.


That's laughable.. any korean will tell you mvp is top tier.


Then "any Korean" would be wrong. There's a very interesting problem with SC2 right now in that it's lacking a great deal of consistency. Every 2-3 weeks, we have a new "top of the race," while one of the old leaders goes into some slump. Look at the runs of players like FruitDealer, MMA, MVP, and SC. All very impressive, but then get demolished by relative no-names causing a devastating fall. In fact, the major consistency we have is that some players who seem to be in perpetual slumps (zenio, fruitdealer, tester, etc.) can't seem to find the exit door from Code S.

Honestly, right now, "top tier" is such a loose term that it doesn't even really hold significant weight. The only players we can even say with certainty are "top tier" players would be Nestea and MC simply because they have won 2 titles each and continue to be relevant in meta-game modifications. Beyond those two players, however, the population is in such wild flux that ranking becomes so subjective that it's meaningless. You get this HUGE grey area that goes from Code S all the way down to Qualifiers, where people argue daily that some people who can't qualify for Code A could also take a Code S championship (and it's probably true).

Would forgg dominate the scene? I have no idea. However, we can at least assume that he would find mild success in it if he were to switch over, just like most other players with impressive RTS backgrounds.

Really fucking excited for this. Knowing ForGG's playstyle he will definately pioneer some timing based play. I feel like solid timing pushes is the future of terran and if anyone can do it it's ForGG!

Well of the current sc1 pros that switched over he is the one that attained the highest skill level in sc1 so yeah he would definately become a top player if he wanted to. To expect anything less from a motivated forgg would be a joke.
