He played against HuK some month ago, so another "not good enogh anymore for BW" Pro. dude every good bw player who still get much money from playin bw1 will likely not switch to sc2... why you should switch when u still are successful in bw>? so most of the players who retired from sc1 or b teamers will switch to sc2 BUT forGG was still a good A team player when he retirered from bw~~ | ||

I can't believe you didn't know MC, MVP, Nestea, MKP, MMA, Fruitdealer, Bomber and others not named Moon and Lynx played BW for a living... to be fair though its kinda a moot point. people playing sc2 in korea are the best, where did all these people with high quality starcraft skills come from? ofc they came from bw. with the history and the level of participation of BW in korea, it was never in any doubt that people who played sc2 for money would be from a broodwar background | ||

You can google "current metagame" for some examples. LOL. Sorry for being offtopic, but that's the worst argument ever. Google "difinately" for some examples on how to spell "definitely" :D | ||

I said to google it for examples of it used in the other definition. And if you actually did google "current metagame" you'd see results from TL as well as other forums for other competitive games. | ||

If you studied linguistics you would understand that there it is wiser to explain how something is used that the 'correct' way to use it. For example, I am an English teacher, there at so many rules in English, but none of them stop students from talking or writing however they want...and I can still understand them...and their incorrect usage doesn't stop me from appreciating the way they express their thoughts. | ||

Especially considering SC2 is different enough that while it inherited the name, it definitely did not inherit the meta-game. Different units, different fundamental A.I. control, different maps, different players, different time. For better or worse, they will never be the same. You should read the above post by Ciryandor. Basically, SC2 inherited from Day 1 a lot of concepts that took players in BW years to develop. That thing called macro? Not existent day 1 of SC2. Emphasis on micro? Boxer showed the world what could be done with one dropship but that certainly didn't happen on release. Look at EVERY map designed today, they all have common features: balanced, an easy-to-take natural, balanced mineral patches, lots of expansions. These map features took YEARS to become commonplace in BW. SC2 didn't start out with zero knowledge on how to play an RTS game (even more one with THREE unique races). | ||

Hahaha, it reminds me of the maps that came with Brood War. The nearest expo was ridiculously far away. Oh my gosh those maps were so bad, but the comp stomping when I first got BW was so fun  . | ||

I'd honestly say he's at a lower level than when he did his StarLeague run. | ||

I'd honestly say he's at a lower level than when he did his StarLeague run. I'd say that too. The fact of the matter is though, when he retired and switched to SC2, he was a pretty solid player. I'd even say he was underrated a little bit considering he was a Terran on the same dang team as Flash, the most overpowered player of all time. | ||

Descriptive vs Prescriptive is an old debate. One can easily make a good case for prescriptive, even though the pendulum has swung to the other side recently. | ||
