Who the fuck is "fOrGG" The 2nd bw A-teamer (after immvp) to join sc2. Assuming he joins of course. July, NaDa, SangHo. That's not even all of them. MVP was most active of them but definately not the only one. Also SangHo was active too. He just was on a small pause because of the scandal (he wasn't involved but it wasn't clear from the beginning) He said A-teamer. So are july nada ans sangho considered s class or what? Neither July nor Nada were A-team anymore at the time of their switch. In fact, July was pretty damn bad at the game by the time he switched. NaDa made very rare appearances in proleague but was not an A-teamer (someone who gets regular proleague time, maybe not ever week, but say at least once very 3 matches).
Okk thanks for clarifying

huge news. i really hope this is his way of warming up before joinıng a team and going for gsl.
now the game is going to feel more imbalanced when another great player like this goes terran and roflstomps nerds on the ladder.

I can't believe people are down-playing his accomplishments in BW. To be consistently fielded by a team like KT is a big deal. Throw in an MSL win and I'd say this would the biggest ex-BW transfer to SC2 even if he was slumping for a year.
This.
Why are people downplaying ForGG? He actually improved quite a bit during the time he was in KT. He did NOT just fall off after his MSL win. He went to the Ro8 in both Korean Air OSL and BigFile MSL, going 2-1 v Kal and 0-3 v his teammate Flash respectively (and at that time everyone was getting 3-0'ed by Flash.)
I still believe to this day that if ForGG had gotten a little luckier in that 3rd set against Kal he would have easily been a big favorite to beat Effort in the Ro4 and have added a silver OSL medal to his collection.
Compare that to MVP, Nestea or Iron? ForGG even not counting that fantastic MSL is miles ahead of any of those guys in terms of accomplishment and actual skill.

Wow, this is super awesome if it's true. My dream is to see Effort play SC2 but I doubt that will ever happen..

I feel kinda iffy about this. He announced his retirement from progaming just to play sc2 competitively? I wish he could've just say that he would be transferring instead of leaving like that.
I dunno if anyone else feels this way but it feels like a slap in the face to BW fans.

I doubt playing on SCII KR ladder can be deemed as "playing competitively" he probably plays this as a on the side hobby. There is no 100% guarantee that hes going to go pro.

Forgg was pretty good at Broodwar, he was one of the best terran in the circuit, slightly behind Sea, but as good as Light. I was pretty disappointed when he left KT. Mixed feelings about seeing him play SC2,

ForGG is BOSS. Glad to see him playing :D

Erm, wouldn't you feel for KT too if you had watched them struggle during the last two rounds of PL? Especially with Violet's condition too?
If you recall, he left shortly after the game against OZ in WL, right in the middle of the round. You'd assume that he'd have something major come up to retire immediately like that. It's kinda disappointing if he invested all that time into playing SC2 so soon after retiring. Though I guess it's been a while.
Either way, I can't help but think of how abruptly he just announced his retirement and leaving KT without their 2nd Terran midway through the round.
Edit: K3Nny pretty much has the same sort of opinion as mine I guess.

intotheemo, people dont just quit all the sudden. most likely the team knew he would be retiring from bw weeks in advance. the fact that kt went into a mini slump as he was retiring is nothing but bad coincidence.
hope forgg roflstomps some kids
|
I hope he will play on a professional team someday, he can make serious money since it's hard to consider him as a "hasbeen"

He was performing poorly, he's not a sellout (by any definition you could possibly think of), and he's not playing on a team, thus you really have no argument here...
Invested all that time into SC2? He can do whatever the hell he wants with his freetime. Would he be a sellout if he started playing poker instead? Sheesh.

He is back with CJ so its going to be pretty hard to seem him in SC2. Maybe when he is old and done with BW lol but yeah watch him on top of his game playing SC2 seems rather difficult to me. And Im glad, I hope he helps CJ a lot next year

This is amazing news and kinda brings excitement that more big BW names will be sure to follow soon! :D

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

at their peaks, forgg was better skill-wise than anyone else whose switched by a pretty large margin.
he isnt the most accomplished, boxer/nada and july were. however skill-wise he is by far the best player to have switched.

Hoooooly crap, perhaps this is what happens when quite good (as in comparison to Boxer, July, Nada, etc. who were very good but were obviously not up to par by the time they retired) SC1 progamers come to SC2 :o
