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.

Yes, but you've got to understand as well that oov had a mind for the game like no one else as well. Up until very recently oov's revolutionary builds that have been channeled through fantasy have been groundbreakingly amazing. In a game where the mental aspect is so important, I can see him making the SlayerS terrans even more bad ass, and that is a truly frightening idea.

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.

Just because he's playing sc2 doesn't mean he's going to play professionally. That's like saying just because a quake pro might play some tf2 on the side he's automatically a pro in both. I'd stay back with any predictions until something is officially announced.

Also there is a gm toss named bisu O.o. I don't know if these are fake or not, but if there not fake, epic. If they are, koreans don't even know there fake names are trolling the world!

no, the guy is completely right, everybody is getting way too excited. he is clearly treating it like a hobby. oov with any amount of dedication could get korean GM even with his wrist injury. like you said, he's one of the most intelligent progamers by a long shot, he could wreck ladder if he tried. the fact that he isn't shows that he isn't trying. so nothing's really changed from when playxp originally found his ID, and there's no point thinking he might actually be transitioning unlike for example ForGG who was GM and had invested a lot of time into getting good at the game
