Geumchi was a solid A teamer... when he played well that is. he was at least better than MVP but worse than ForGG by a mile.

MVP, Nestea, MC, the players who have dominated GSL, they weren't BW pros, right?


None of them were top BW pros, they were all B-teamers and practice partners. Name one A-teamer who has switched and lived up to the hype.


Name one A-teamer who has switched over to begin with... I can't think of any. I mean, technically MVP was an A-teamer, but that's because his team had historically bad Terrans.


Guemchi switched over for like a month, dunno if you would call him an A-teamer tho :D

He was an A-teamer for sure, but I don't think its really fair to say he really switched over. It lasted all of like, what 3 weeks?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Sang Ho (TSL_Killer) A-teamer before his retriement?

Pretty much the same case as MVP, he got some play in PL and was usually on their roster but his results would put him in like the bottom 10 or 20% of players who got PL play.

After reading the topic, legends will be always legends, boxer, july, nada,yellow, and good players are still good players, mvp, nestea , shango etc.
But its all up to them to make a name of themselves, lets see how he does. I've already saw him playing against huk sometime ago in his stream. He will have to take seriously to make a hit.

ForGG is by far the best "A-teamer" to make the switch to SC2. MVP, Nada, Boxer and July were nowhere near ForGG's level at the time of their switch to SC2. They were barely even proleague level at the time of their retirements whereas ForGG was a proleague and individual league staple right up until his retirement. He is the first and only "mid-level" bw progamer to make the switch - all the others were low to zero level bw progamers at the time of their switching.

Believe me, in 3-6 months ForGG will be most dominant player in SC2. He will be on a completely different level from anyone else out there.

I just shat myself here.
I read forGG and immediately thought of GGplay. But them I read again and it made me sad face.
Whatever, this guy has a lot of potential. I can see him being REALLY successful and qualifying on his first try for Code A.
JangBi will go the finals.

Timing attacks in Sc2? lol, you haven't seen anything yet.

Cool news. I was always impressed with the sense of timing ForGG had. Hope he has sucess.
I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt. I mean not that fancy store bought dirt. That stuffs loaded with nutrients. I... I can't compete with that stuff.

Nada? July? Boxer?

Yeah, obviously the guy you replied to didn't follow much BW, including the first two bonjwa.

If he meant to say the best BW player switching to SC2 at the time of switching to SC2, he's probably correct.

Boxer and Nada seemed to stop caring about being good at BW by the time they switched to SC2 (in fact, years before that). It wore down on them. Same with July.



lol what? ForGG one of the best BW players? I'd say average.
2010 Record


I never said he was one of the best BW players. I said he was one of the best at the time of switching to SC2. I thought I made that quite clear. lolwut


2010 record. He retired in 2010.


And since that time, he's apparently been playing SC2 "secretly" and has been tearing up the Korean ladder quite handily.

It's only now that he sees he knows the game well enough to come out in public.


--;.

You said he's the best BW player when he retired.
His record says otherwise.

And now you're talking about SC2.

Uh no. I didn't say he was the best BW player when he retired. Is English even your first language, or are you trolling? You're truly ignorant if you've never heard of players like Flash, Jaedong, Jangbi, Bisu, Stork, Fantasy, etc.
I said among the players who SWITCHED TO SC2, he was one of the best at the time the player switched. Last I checked, Flash did not switch to SC2, so stop implying such idiocy. Meaning when ForGG retired from BW and switched to SC2, he was a pretty decent A-team player. Not more than a couple current SC2 can lay claim to that (in fact, I think only MVP can, and if he was decent as an A-team player is questionable. EDIT: MVP even at his best in BW was not even close to ForGG in 2010), as by 2010, even players like Boxer, Nada, July, had already been dried up for years. Learn to read.


"ForGG is still a strong BW player even now, which easily makes him one of the best BW players to switch to SC2 AT THE TIME of switching, as opposed to 5-10 years before switching (eg. Boxer, Nada)."

implying he was one of the best at the time of switching.

you seem to be taking your own words of context.
