I find it fairly easy to believe. I mean look at the BW pros who even were allowed to play for Airforce and see how their skills diminished in the military. He's high enough ranked that he probably plays Koreans who are actively pursuing playing SC2 as a career. Just because he's a mechanical monster doesn't mean he can just up and beat someone who plays 10 hours a day.

Hell, all this says to me is that Oov, who probably enjoys playing real time strategy games in his free time, happened to choose SC2 because it's similar to the game he played professionally.
Since when did playing the SC2 ladder mean that the player wanted to go pro?

Also... i didn't knew Korea still has the forced military service, seems a lil un civilized for a country such as S Korea but if it get IloveOOv to play SC2 instead of coach sc1 fuck yeah... go military service :D
Technically, S.Korea and N.Korea are still in a state of war (despite a "ceasfire"), this means that they employ military service in order that they can deal with anything dodgy from the North more "easily" (which I guess isn't completely out of the question considering how relations between the two have deteriorated a lot in the past year)

If you are a BW fan, you'd hope he goes back to SKT after his service ends

Did he do those 500 games in 10 days or whay are there no entries for september in sc2ranks?
|
|
Oh nice, he is on my korean division :o! He played 600 games in 3 weeks.
|
I would like to see him try it out of course . we can only wait
|
I find it odd how such a start like iloveoov would create a sc2 account also with the same name. I wouldn't think he would want the attention attracted to him as he is no longer a pro-gamer. I thought he would use a smurf account. Eg. Forgg using the "raptor" account until his smurf was discovered.

So now we're gonna be seeing some Terran macro at its finest :D!?
Edit: WAIT, I just realized... how's Fantasy gonna win now D: D: D:... No oov help Fantasy!!!

He must be loving the MULEs. "It let's me BUILD MORE STUFF!"

So, is this substantiated or just rumors?
The thread cited in the OP is not conclusive:
Mod edit: a lot of people seem to be misunderstanding this thread. This only means these players are (supposedly) playing SC2, not that they're leaving BW or anything like that (it may be the case for some of them, but no one knows yet.)
My emphasis.

People are getting ahead of themselves. Oov isn't likely to go pro in SC2 with his relationships to SKT1 and currently being in the military. He retired from BW because of injury and had a pretty dramatic decline in skill after his reign as bonjwa ended. If he commits to the SC2 scene the most likely scenario is him becoming a coach in SlayerS alongside Boxer.
