This makes me wonder how many other bw pro's are playing in the dark, waiting for the day they're ready to officially announce their transition.


I hope Forgg's switch triggers a whole bunch of other BW players to switch to sc2.

I wish to see the elephant herded out of the room, finally.

Most BW players that anyone would want to see switch have way too high salaries to bother switching over, especially with the GSL being the only main source of cash for Korean pro's.

That being said I would cry Jizzy tears of awesome if The Mantoss switched over... I'm pretty sure in an interview recently he said he has no plans to ever switch over. But damn out of all the old legends I fell like he would do the best....

Nostalgia aside Great news that ForGG is officially switching! Can't wait to see him rip apart the code A qualifiers!

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.

The point is that BW and SC2 are different games. Success in one does not guarantee success in the other, and names like MVP, Nestea and MC PROVE that. They don't disprove it.


Umm, Mvp was an A-teamer. And seeing as he's the best player in the world, i'd say he's lived up to the hype.

Fun fact: JulyZerg's last recorded BW games on his BW TLPD were against (T)SungEun, whose last recorded games on his TLPD were against fOrGG.

Just browsing through TLPDs and noticed this funny quirk.

Dude, he was an A-teamer in Woongjin as a Terran. That speaks volumes. That's like saying he was China's star cricket player.

In any other team, he'd have been mid-tier/B-team IMO.

Edit: Having said that, I agree with you. forGG will rape SC2 but probably won't be insta-bonjwa or anything.

MVP hit his peak right before he retired from BW.
Beating Stork, Best, Baby and taking a game off (god mode) Flash in a series.

He was pretty damn good when he switched over.

OMG EPIC so this is official now! he was in GM anyways xD hurray!

the new name is alright, didn't really like ForGG

Anyways, if he was better than MVP overall in BW, though he is cheesy, then imagine how epic his pushes/cheese may be in SC2, and how ridiculously sick they could be (under the assumption that if better players like Jaedong Stork Bisu Flash were to change to SC2, they would be be better than Nestea and MVP like they were in BW)

Stork and Flash? Oh shit. Well then, I guess perhaps MVP is doing really well in SC2 cus he was already really good (reached at the end of his BW career).

I hope to god that Gom somehow works out an agreement with the Foo Fighters and whoever manages their music to zoom in on ForGG's face and start playing The Pretender whenever he pushes out with his timing attack.

Sad that forgg won't be helping KT 3-peat (sure could use a competent #2 terran) but seeing him play SC2 is better than not seeing him play at all. Can't wait to see what kind of sick timing attacks he'll show us. I just hope he hasn't lost his fire from being retired for 10 months.
