Nal_ra, garimto, boxer, july, nada, bisu, jaedong, flash, stork, fantasy, reach,savior, and maybe kingdom
That is what I would consider legends, maybe I'm missing someone.

What about Grrrr?

Kal was very strong back then so forgg won that title vs the best of each race. The final vs jaedong wasnt even close. Ive never seen jaedong get beaten that badly before or since. Regardless of the maps or his style, he is the strongest bw player to switch yet.

Heehee
It was inevitable.
Impending demise is coming to BW. Sad, yet happy, because I will see all the amazing BW players in GSL

i wonder if they will become SC2 legends. nada, boxer, and july are on the legend list above and although they are good, they don't really stand up to bomber, mvp, and nestea in terms of sc2 wins

Grrr is a legend for the foreigner because he was one of the first foreign pro and one of the most successful but he never achieved as much as those guys ... I'd add iloveoov, xellos and chojja in the list.

I really do hope he can, and considering how fast he got into code A with the difficulty it presents at the moment, i think he will.

I don't see oov in there..
Regardless, cool news, cooler news for the SC2 scene about KT.

Amazing! So good to see the BW and SC2 community grow closer!

Banana Terran!
ForGG could be a legend in a same way, Jangbi's run was legendary, but in BW most people care about time of dominance/ winrates. So thats why its hard to call him a legend with people mentioned above who were known for periods of dominance(bonjwa/TBLS for example). But you can say ForGG's achievement was somewhat legendary for his own capabilities (beating 1best current player for each race and winning starleague). Semantics

on a side note and not meaning to detract from the thread as I'm actually excited to see the BW pro get through...
WTF happened to yellow did he even try to requalify?

Come on KT house, switch over, please!

Jangbi is a legend. The guy has been to 3 finals and at one point considered the best protoss in the world. I'd put Jangbi as a top 5 all time protoss, while I can't even put Forgg in the top 10 terrans of all time.

It is incredibly cute how BW fans think this somehow proves something, I watch sc2 because its the best game (imo) not because of it having the best players or not.
|
I am sorry for being completely oblivious when it comes to Korean Brood War but does this mean that some of the best Brood War pros are coming to Starcraft 2? Was fOrGG any good?
