This is why Nada made his gigantic speech yesterday at group selections. I am sure he is close with a lot of BW players, coaches, etc. and knows that there are tons of monsters practicing SC2 in the shadows right now.

In four months, the entire top class of players could be B-teamers and 98% of Code S players could be out of GSL entirely if these Brood War players switch.

What did Nada say?


Being proud to be the first generation of SC2 pros, and conducting themselves accordingly.

SC2 for now is to volatile for total swich (putting all eggs into 1 basket) but small switch (b-teamers, practice partners) would be good enough for now, when meta game stabilizes we will see stars coming, because now they can earn much more playing BW where they are good

Do you guys think some of the best BW players will switch to SC2 or just some of the B/A Teamers playing BW?

If they decide to swich there is nothing all the hardcore BW fans can do but i just hope people don't get angry at the guys that like SC2.. it's not our fault and most os us don't even care..

Yeah i would like to see Flash living up to the hype in SC2, slaying all the nerds in his path to glory, but if that doesn't happen i will still be happy to see my foreign heroes do it against the koreans..

I like where SC2 is right now and I'm not sure that bringing Kespa in the equation will benefit SC2 and foreign SC2 that much, they are knowned for their hard rules and they will not try and bridge the gap between our communities.. I actually think BW needs this more then SC2! Altho SC2 in tv would be amazing for korean SC2 teams and players!

There's no point in arguing what games is better and who kills who.. if they decide to switch or play both games it's their decision and they won't need our opinion for it..

Meh, a lot of sc2 players were former B teamers so I don't think many B team players who would switch right now would make it as far as you'd think. They still have a year head start after all too.

Top players most likely won't switch because their salaries are big right now. But lower tier / b-teamers probably will soon enough.

But as someone said already, would make sense for the teams to be transitioning their B-team to SC2 and let the A-teamers play broodwar.

This is going to be so awesome!! Im so excited! The only thing I'd be worried about is that Kespa screws up everything or a GSL versus ProLeague split. Also when does Gom's exclusive broadcaster of Starcraft II contract end?

I will go back to boycotting SC2 if this is true.

This news would be more exciting if the skill ceiling for SC2 was as high as it is in BW.

Expectations for current S and A rank BW pros switching and insta dominating in SC2 seem high, but I doubt that will ever happen. That's great news for foreigners though, so it's not all bad, I guess.

It's probably the same story, those not making the first team will feel that they can make a better living off sc2 (and in all honesty, they probably could...). You've heard how some sc2 teams have problems with funding and sponsors, and I seriously doubt that they can compete with the established BW teams.

You might see an exodus of code S players from their current teams to richer teams like KT for example. So moneybucks KT will have a BW division of Flash/Stats/Action etc. and a sc2 division of Forgg/MVP and so on. Slayers might merge with SKT (and why wouldn't they?). That would be exciting. But there is no doubt that the top BW players will not be in any hurry to switch. It's all about stability.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

You guys are making it seem like all the top sc2 players will just disappear and become b-teamers. I dont think this is the case. I think the hard working korean players will stay on top, and very few foreigners who also work hard will stay on top which is pretty much atm huk, naniwa, and sase

Right about now would be a good time to start. Get mechanics in a good condition and when HotS comes out you'll be at the same line with everyone else since it's going to mix up everything.
Arguing with a fool proves there are two.

how is this hurting esports???
this is a HUGE step


Yeah, but backwards. ;/ I really hope this doesn't go through. Currently Sc2 is not even remotely as good as BW and doesn't show any sign of improvement if Blizzard doesn't fix some of the fundamental flaws. They won't even implement LAN, for god's sake...

Fuck this shit. I hope KeSPA does not betray BW...
