Eh, I always felt that Fomos usually covers way less SC2 content than DES or PlayXP, so maybe the "anti-SC2" feeling comes from that notion. | ||

Bisu should join SlayerS  I think Bisu will make protoss look Imba as hell Article reads "BW pro's coming to SC2" Sc2 pro's read "Better start practicing 2x more or you will become obsolete!" | ||

If they believe the Korean audience will switch as easily, they're fucking wrong. I have no interest in watching those clumped blobs. It may start getting old but as much as hearing "RIBO RIBO RIBO RIBO" could be fucking epic, hearing "COLO COLO COLO COLO" will never ever be. Fuck. edit : double fuck, I consoled myself when the fake tsunami made me miss the PL grand finals by thinking I'd fly to Korea for the next season and it will be even more epic. I'd better have my BW PL finals next year. | ||

I was originally into the Counter Strike scene, but after a big break (studies), where I've tried BW, W3, COD, I've finally stopped on SC2. Iy is really my first attempt to really play an RTS game. Having improved a lot in the past months, I think I can understand everything that is going on in this game now. After having fed on day9 daylies, I just watch some old ones featuring BW. And omg... With everything that I've heard about BW and its advantages, it is really painful for me to watch a BW game. Not for the graphics (I play Minecraft for god sake), but for everything else. Everything seems so frigide and poor. I don't really recognized the core philosophy of each race, that I've learn form sc2 obviously. Really not for me watching. If I try to recall how it was to play BW when I tried, it was like trying the play chess with mitten!! There so much things that come into your way when you want to apply a strategy. That is a bit of weird for a rts game. Not fun to play either... I prefer spending my extra apm trying to do better stuff than overcoming a poor AI, pathfinding, and UI, like w3 micro where your brain is actually usefull. I think that if the game were revamped with a better UI, it will just become pointless... From what I've heard, every BWfanboy is just sad for the lack of neediness of "gosu/nerdy" spam clicks to produce a marine and make him move... So please. Have a though for theses guys who really does not care a single second about BW and are happy with SC2. If you don't like it, we don't care, stay on BW, we have lived without you until now anyway. Quit, boycott blizzard for whatever reason you believe is right. Just stop annoying us. Try to evolve or die like dinausors... That being said, I would be more that happy to see the BW scene finally try to fit into our sc2 community. If theses BW stars are that good on a strategic level, I'm looking forward to it. But from what I can see, if you take the superstar boxer, even if he's probably not a the same level as he was, he should still have the mind the come up with great strategies. From what I can see, he's just a cheeser who try to win with his micro in sc2. Was it the reason why he was so good in BW ? If it is so, it is definitely not my kind of strategy game. | ||

I can honestly see A-class players like Sea who have no chance of winning Proleague/OSL switch over first, because the upside is too high. May take longer for true S Class players to switch, since they still command 200K+ salaries. They'll probably wait until they finish their contracts to switch. A Class players like Sea? Sea is probably top 3 terrans. He's S Class for sure, and has gone extremely far in many OSL/MSL's. He somehow seems to choke and get nervous in RO4 though. But he is by far one of the best players in the world right now. | ||

You can't just look at their achievements and make a judgement like that. The current skill level of flash is much higher than the skill level of Nada and July when they switched to sc2. That's the real difference. | ||

Very happy about the top SC1 pro's switching to SC2 tho, I wonder what play they will bring to SC2 and how they will "break" SC2. So sort of mixed feelings about this news, if to many high level BW players switch to SC2, BW will slow die. | ||

For him to make Code S every season while other full time pro gamers have struggled is amazing. Nada is scary. Lol so funny when people say "lol the brood war LEGENDS that are in sc2 atm aren´t dominating, so why should the new ones be any better?" Well the reason why the old BW players switched over to sc2 is because they can´t compete in brood war, they just aren´t good enough. The only thing I remember is MVP taking a game of Flash once in the MSL(mirrors can be unpredictable and random), but then flash won 3 in a row in an easy manner. Just remember, MVP is probably the best brood war player to switch to sc2, but he was quite terrible compared to other brood war pros, and yet he is dominating sc2. Think about that for a second. People are also stating that ForGG is a legend, which is not true. He was played out in proleague in the 2009-2010 season quite a bit, but he doesn´t come close to the top brood war players. He has a fun unique style which will probably carry well over to sc2, but he was never dominating. (excluding that one MSL which I still dont understand how he won) | ||

It makes sense because the new units will mean that the metagame will shift/reset, but the basic mechanics will still remain, so practicing right now is still good preparation. | ||
