I die crying tears of blood ;_____;
In any case, I hope that in the case these guys DO switch, I hope they can innovate the meta-game so that no one will be able to complain that SC2 lacks depth or micro ^^

If they were so easily swayed, there would be no Protoss left in Brood War now.

Even in SC2, no progamer has actually switched race have they? Artosis I suppose, but I don't feel like he really counts. Otherwise the only thing that comes to mind is Gumiho and GuineaPig switching from Random.

Yeah, although FOX disbanded, so he's not really on any team. Lucifer and Flash have the same name, so it's unclear which person the RealID is of.

He probally means a SC2 race to another SC2 race.

Bisu is the most iconic Protoss ever, and I think he must realize that the popularity he has as the best Protoss ever is far and above what he would have had he played, say, Terran, and been maybe, I dunno, 5th best ever after Boxer, Oov, Nada and Flash. I'm sure he'll play Toss.

Some foreigners switch
TLO from random to terran to zerg to random to terran.
Nerchio from random to zerg.
LZGamer from terran to zerg.
Morrow from terran to zerg to terran against zerg.
But you are right, most players do not switch.

Wow, I wasn't expecting to see so many known players on that list. I was thinking they'd start off with letting their B teamers start practising if anything. This is going to be interesting.

thanks.
i'm guessing that slasher didn't know lucifer had the same name as flash and twitted about flash playing sc2 after seeing something similar to the picture in the op.

mmm if the bw people want it close, they should switch races for sc2, since the special bw units are mostly on another races side in sc2 and play-styles are as well switched up. But i would assume alot of protoss players would switch and maybe a few zergs. But HotS beta will cause switches anyway. Like WoL caused more terrans.

Most top players switch races due to how the game flows/feels using that race compared to their preferred style of play. For example a player who enjoys heavy harass style tactics may switch to terran as it definitely favors that sort of play.

I'm sure he'll play Toss.
He mentioned in an interview that he'd play toss:
DES: If you do change over you starcraft 2, would you continue to play protoss?
Bisu: If you're asking for my opinion, then no. Reviews seem to be calling it Terran-World. It'd be nice if they worked on the balance a little bit. If Terran continues to win like this, who is going to play that game? If you're going to make Protoss such a weak race, might as well get rid of it. It's quite saddening. But, if I had to make the switch to Starcraft 2, I probably would play Protoss. (laughs)
I mean he's got the Sad Zealot spirit and all, how can he not play Protoss.

I guess sc2 isn't such a bad game when bw pros are trying it out! They are doing playing sc2 out of free will, they have been practising for a while which means that they feel sc2 is worthwhile their skill and perhaps most important they feel it's fun. I think it's impossible to play a boring game all day long but perhaps it's possible with a ton of cash at the end of your working day.

can't wait for fantasy's little brother and iloveoov's wife to start dominating!
but really, can't wait for Bisu v Idra... can you imagine the fanboys congregating on each live thread??

Woah, big news. Hope they're all true!

pretty naive comment to assume that a company/organization has no interest in expanding their product to a highly interested foreign market. Citing KESPA's ignorance of the foreign scene in the past does not infer that they would show the same attitude in the future.

I don't get it! If they changed their computers and practice sc2, they are definitely going to switch. I don't see them playing both bw and sc2, it would be really hard. But sc2 doesn't seem to take popularity from bw in Korea like at all! Then why would they switch? If all the BW pros start switching, then the sponsors switch, then eventually the viewers switch. SC2 might not ever reach the popularity that BW had at its peak in Korea, but the increased popularity in other regions should more than make up for that. That doesn't make sense. Money goes where the viewers are, and not the other way around! And obviously players go where the money is. But people in Korea stick with bw, the majority don't want sc2 at all. And I don't really think Kespa cares about foreign scene, like they ever cared?

Bisu and Fantasy no doubt seduced by their trip to Blizzcon and GSL Finals. But Hydra?! Seriously he was doing -so- well such up and coming talent in BW. Maybe we will see the same from him in SC2...
