There is no doubt that ForGG is the very best bw player to switch over to sc2 currently. What about Nada? He won like 6 starleagues right? This kind of talk is useless, there isn't a true active "A" teamer that has switched over yet from BW (someone like Stats, Zero, Jaedong, Jangbi, etc) that was still in his prime when he switched. However, MVP is probably the closest we got to that. | ||

My friend said ForGG is more accomplished than MVP, but at the time of both of them leaving bw, MVP was slightly better. He said after his 2008 title win, he kind of fell off and became a middling player for a middling team. Compared it to fruit dealer's decline although nowhere near as drastic. | ||

Though you're right, everyone who has switched I wouldn't consider A class at the time. | ||

That means something, even though he maybe didn't play on tv so much near the end of his career. | ||

Nada won his last SL in 2006 before the modern era (post-savior) started. | ||

There is no argument between smart people here. Well the problem is people are comparing someone's entire career and history instead of comparing their play at the time of leaving bw. Smart people know at the time both left bw, mvp and forgg were at a similar level. | ||

As has been proven numerous times in BW, players who were once top leval always have the potential to get back to that level after even the deepest slump(Nada, Fantasy, Jangbi, Stork, Julyzerg, Effort, Bisu) and I always hoped to see the same from ForGG in BW. Hopefully he has big success in SC2 and I'm glad to see he joined oGs (my favorite Korean SC2 team). | ||

Just wanted to point it out. | ||

Then came 2005-2006, and I find out BW is actually super awesome and is a pretty big deal... Well, that's what happens when you don't have much access to the Internet until you're 14, and your elementary school friends either didn't game too much or played random console games or RPGs. :'( | ||

Weird thing to say considering how forgg qualified for the Ro8 in the MSL more recently than MVP did, although admittedly MVP's kill list (Bogus, Effort twice, Best, Stork, Baby, 1-3 vs Flash) was more impressive than forgg's (Puzzle [yes that one], July, Zero, Hogil, Free, hero, 0-3 to Flash). | ||

The hidden moral of the story is that everyone dies to Flash, right? | ||

Nada won his last SL in 2006 before the modern era (post-savior) started. Yeah, keep in mind that ForGG was an integral part of KT at the time he retired, back in January. He was hugely important to their run to the finals in the 09-10 Proleague season, but had been slumping since the start of 10-11. Still, he was getting played most matches, and KT's line was really hurt when he left. Easily the best BW player to switch so far. MVP might have become better had he not switched, but ForGG was an accomplished player in a prolonged slump, whereas MVP was a newly rising potential star. | ||
