Compared to Jaedong, Bisu & Flash, maybe not. Though he is definitly a legend when it comes to timing attacks, and one of my favorite Terrans  (as you can see ^^)How many legends are there in broodwar then? 50? Saying ForGG is a legend really devalues the term. ForGG is like a one hit wonder. | ||

Do people genuinely think that really good BW players will just instantly be amazing at SC2? the reason why it's hard to understand may be because of all the different skills needed in SC1------and it certainly wasn't easy to understand how amazing some of the players were until you actually got to trying to mimic their play and the situations they create. i can't exactly paint a picture for you, but game-sense//star-sense is a gigantic asset for a player. a little corny---but if you know about the gundam series, LOL... it's like being a new-type and being able to foresee, predict, and react near-perfectly despite actually seeing very little (or what would seem like it to others). you don't lose the feeling/ideas of game-sense easily. and even if you don't have it, you have the experience of having had it before, and so you'll want to attain it again. obviously it's not an otherworldly talent and such, and the current pros have built up so much experience that they have a gigantic advantage.... but maybe think of, a renowned painter going into a charcoal medium class, or clay pottery---anything on those lines. when it comes to the entire learning process and producing work, there will be steps along the way that are completely natural, such as painting the pottery or having to use a finish. i can only imagine that an accomplished pro has amazing standards for themself. guess what happens when their skill boundaries are being forcibly pushed? it's not just fandom or wanting these players to do well. there's also an (sometimes) inexplicable feeling that if these players switched, they certainly wouldn't let their previous fans down, or themselves either. so once again, it's natural to expect good things from them. | ||

But they are considered very different games and I know lots of people say 'oh well sc2 is ezmode' I don't buy into that, maybe because I wanna believe I am a better RTS player than I am or maybe because they are rather different mechanically. I wish this guy all the best anyway and I will stop derailing this thread with my confusion now. | ||

Well, i'm a SC2 fan but i caught the proleague ace match, flash vs best. It looked like a normal game of sc2 to me until i remembered that they can't select more than a certain amount of units per control group, have to move their own scvs to the minerals, and have to friggin click on their buildings to produce stuff, and they still are able to play this game as fluid and with as much action as a SC2 pro game. Then i finally realised how godly these guys will be if they transferred over and understood the game. | ||

Then i finally realised how godly these guys will be if they transferred over and understood the game. But that's also the same reason why it could be possible that these guys don't dominate as much as in BW. Because the skill gap gets smaller due to MBS, automine, >12 units selection. Still the mechanics translate easier and these guys would definitely be doing very well in SC2. | ||

If one of your favorite players switches to another game, wouldn't you be excited to watch them play a game you like as well? Ofuckingcourse you would! I'm really looking forward to his upcoming games. Someone already explained why people think BW players will be explained and I'm too lazy to do it too so yeah I more so know than think that BW players will be not instantly amazing, but will be amazing pretty quickly. | ||

(everything else is s waste) :D he's a T. He was known for his EXTREMELY strong timing attacks. If that translates over to sc2 as well... | ||

Also another terrible assumption is that people think BW players will give a fuck about Code A/S when they swap over to SC2 | ||
