It wouldn't surprise me if all BW progamers have at least played a couple of games of SC2 just to check it out. Also wouldn't surprise me if many of them had a personal account for their own personal reasons or maybe were given to them. Doesn't exactly prove anything besides the fact that they have at least registered an account :D Unless you can provide proper ladder records of possible smurfs/IDs on Bnet like the ones that were found for ForGG (Raptor and now oGsFin) long time ago, then this doesnt really prove much :D Sure some of the IDs linked in this thread have played a few games on ladder and are in masters league, but that hardly is evidence of them considering to play the game on a pro level. The herO one (which was the only one name with an ID with it in the leaked pic) is pretty much the only "hero" account which has the same uppercase/lowercase combination on the Korean ladder. That one also happens to be the highest 1v1 ranked "hero" (aside from oGsHerO) on the ladder. That is almost 100%  hero, unless someone else is playing on his account. Movie was also seen chatting with Choya on his stream, so the movie account is pretty likely his. If that shows any thing, it's an indication that some BW players are not really bothered to smurf. So that's why it's kinda fun to speculate if those accounts are BW player accounts. Most of the accounts which have been posted were created fairly recently, making it seem quite likely. Of course any other account (besides hero) could've been a random smurf. | ||

Blizzard can't include LAN because, if they do, all these lazy kids just pirate the fvck out of their games. It's been proven again and again and again. They deserve to make money for delivering an entertaining game. $60 for hundreds/thousands of hours of gameplay? Steal. because they deserve to make far more money tha they can spend in their life while people starve in some countries.. sounds like a steal for them :\ | ||

They're talking about people who have played a race in SC2 then switched during their SC2 pro career. Morrow, Byun and Artosis are the only ones I know of. | ||

He eventually switched back to TvZ because he hated the matchup. All the tournaments his participated in since has allowed him to pick Terran against a Zerg but racepicking shouldn't be allowed in tournaments though. | ||

A Protoss with Stork PvT and Bisu PvZ would have been a bonjwa - the race is not weak. Outside of Flash and Fantasy, Terran is not dominant and borderline slightly weak. Zerg has numbers but not always star league winners. | ||

Morrow had the most success when he was terran, switched to zerg, not too much success. Gumiho went from random to terran, became a strong code s level terran that took out nestea and is pretty consistent. Byun is another perfect example. He was a protoss by the name of Bleach that did mediocre, but then he switched to terran and made it to Code A finals and became a consistent code s terran until recently. just, no. He is equally successful at zerg compare to when he was Terran. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/MorroW | ||

Wasn't Idra Terran? I remember him complaining about Toss during TSL2. | ||

Minigun's main race is still Protoss. He plays Zerg quite a bit too, but he plays Protoss in tournaments(excluding showmatches) | ||

Isn't Minigun playing Zerg now? He only ladders as zerg for fun and when he's bored. The one showmatch he did vs Incontrol was an exception, since the organizers did not want pvp and Minigun accepted anyway. | ||
