No. The warning most likely is because you posted only a quote. That goes against the rules if Im not mistaken!
Edit: I btw the first one got you a warning...the second one would grant you a ban if any mods sees it.
No one can argue that the BW legends aren't great and have tremendous potential in the sc2 scene. The problem with assuming that they will be untouchable right out of the gate is laughable. They WILL have to put in a ton of hours of practice in order to catch up. BW is their passion, and maybe sc2 is not. I can see a former BW great not do well in sc2 just because it isnt the same game and they wont have the same drive as they did in BW.
I find it funny how some BW fans say how there is such a low skill ceiling and no micro ability and then others say that the BW people will dominate. If the first is true then they wont have such a huge advantage over the slower mechanics players. I hope Huk and co. still do well if the best show up. They'll have to work hard for sure.
There's a guy with the ID KTFlash in my division, mid masters, seems like that's the level he would be after playing for a short period of time, doubt it's him but I can have my hopes.
This is actually a great opportunity for sc2 fans to watch bw matches. If both are being played in the pl, then bw viewiership internationally will jump. It'd be cool to have some mixed team international tournaments.

The outcome isn't whats important, its about the show.
Did you see Boxer v. Yellow? (The SC2 one, to be clear.)
Its a sad day for BW, but an even greater day for esports in general. At the end of the day, teams/players are trying to make a living out of this. They have to go where the sponsorship is, period. While BW may contain the highest level of skill, viewership is much higher in SC2. Its a move these teams have to make in order to survive financially.

They would need good english casters for PL before that happened.

generally pros dont use their real id when laddering, unless maybe you're laddering on kr more than likely it isnt him

I've thought about it, and decided that this wouldn't really be such a bad thing.
Even if BW and SC2 are mixed in proleague, I could use the SC2 matches for a piss break, and SC2 fans could do the same for the BW matches. Hell, maybe the new SC2 players can develop interesting strategies so that I actually want to watch SC2!
Plus, you've got to admit that it'll be cool to see what OGN can do for an individual league with SC2, especially if it has english commentary/support for the foreign community. KeSPA must know that they have to tap into the foreign market if they're going to dabble in SC2, and maybe we'll get some foreign BW support as a side effect.
