I can't wait to see where the SC2 scene goes when top BW players come over.

I don't see Jaedong's name there. If he isn't that interested in SC2, I'll actually be glad about it. He needs to win a few more OSLs before touching SC2.

But... JD playing SC2 professionally is the only thing I'm putting in my letter to santa this year

Well, im sorry,sarcasm get lost on the internet. i was just trying to say maybe there could be valid reasons you know?
i think the logistic reasons are kinda valid, what if 2 zerg players dont wanna play ZvZ and wanna choose T, BUT only if the other player choose Z, so who gets to choose first?

Then you submit what race you're going to play prior to the match. "Oh, I know I'm going to be faced vs Sheth, so Imma pick T" and then Sheth picks P, we're gonna see a PvT!
More realistically you could just have the player with the worse seed have to pick their race first.

This is correct. Occasionally either NaDa or MC will stream on the oGssK stream. The timings can be quite random, and the stream is up for a couple hours max (usually.)

So bittersweet. I feel that the switch is necessary at some point, though. Trying not to be insensitive to the BW fans, as I myself am an avid one, more and more cash is flowing away from BW and into the SC2 scene, and players at some point or another are going to have to convert and keep up. I am very very excited to see the BW work ethic and pure Starcraft talent of legends like Flash, Jaedong and Bisu completely dominate everyone and make SC2 a more rigorous, balanced playing field. In the long run, I think that, while a little difficult to digest, this is a very good thing for both the esports and SC2 proscene, as well as the players as individuals. Only time will make it easier on everyone to move on.

Player 1: Hey, I'll play T, you Z? Player 2: Eh, I think my TvZ is a bit stronger than my ZvT Player 1: Ok, I'll play Z, you T.
Wow, what a logistics nightmare.

Nal_Ra was hinting about going back to progaming, and a ton of pros started watching his replays and thought that he was an amateur. I think he's a much better commentator than player at this point in his life.
