Yes, it just happened. forgg just switched over and he is already in code A on what I believe was his first attempt. The proof is RIGHT HERE. | ||

Keep dreaming. Gosi Terran's bw skill allowed him to quickly climb the sc2 ranks, imagine what KT is capable of. I'm guessing they will allow their A level players to practice and send Flash last if anything. Doesn't make sense to have your best player practice already if worse players could win thousands of Dollars for the team. | ||

KT rolster better switch before HOTS comes out or it will be very very hard to adapt. Also, everyone knew that the switch from bw to sc2 is coming sooner or later. I been hoping it's sooner rather than later. Hopefully we can see Jaedong/flash/bisu sooner rather than later. | ||

Neither July nor Nada are anything like "dominating" sc2 at the moment. Are they both Code S players? Yes. Are either of them considered the best players of their respective races? No. | ||

But in sc2, with minimal effort they are still competitive. | ||

I'd probably rate him as one of the top 5 zergs in Korea.. | ||

But yes, BW players are likely to do well in SC2. It was more his comment about July and Nada specifically. | ||

You;re right, I don't know their schedule, but i meant minimal as in it didn't seem long for them to get into Code S. I mean they wouldn't sniff Code S in bw now, not even close was my point. But yes I concede maybe they do train alot, but from what I understand Nada is in college, so I doubt he trains all that much compared to how he should. | ||

If they can maintain the work ethic they learned from playing a game like BW then I'm certain they can find similar success with another RTS title. This wasn't instantaneous. fOrGG put a lot of time and effort into playing SC2 to make it this far. How do you think IdrA got to where he is today? Hard work. HuK? Hard work. If you have some talent and you blend it in with persistent practice you'll get some results eventually. It's a question of time. | ||

Why do people not do their research before saying something like this? ForGG has been at the top of the Korean ladder for multiple seasons in a row. He has three accounts that we know of in Korean GM (Fin, Raptor, Apex). He has been playing for a looooooooong time already. Honestly, "ForGG doesn't make Code A" would be far more surprising than "ForGG makes Code A." | ||
