i'm not sure how this influx of extraordinary players will impact sc2
it could lead to very boring games, just like mvp vs nestea are
but then it could make blizzard change their game .. maybe

20 rax can be grouped in one hotkey and you spam aaaaaaaaa for marines.
No need to manually click on buildings which is useless skill that seperates BW players will carry over. No need to drag units now since you can group everything in one hotkey as well.
There is nothing special that BW players will have over currently well established SC2 players, yeah, because clearly someone like Bisu, who has the multitasking ability of a computer, won't be able to use that to his advantage when the game makes it easier for him to do mechanical tasks. if your reasoning is true, then we have the following conclusion: SC2 is a terrible game with a low skill cap. hopefully you're wrong. Uhh.. sc2 has a high skillcap. But its about buildorders, unit composition. Micro and macro have been somewhat solved in sc2, thatis true. But you still need the right unit comp to counter your enemy and the build order to do it efficiently, so you need strategy. Micro and macro have been solved? What does that mean? Until we get someone who can macro like TOP/Bomber and micro like MKP micros his marines, I don't think we can say we've hit the skill ceiling for SC2. (IMHO.) Mvp. Macro's better than bomber and micro's with the best :D Mvp's micro is overrated. As well as TOP's macro. But Bomber has really great macro, hard to know who has the best macro without knowing personally the players I guess I actually think TOP's macro is really good, but it's hard to tell at times because he keeps losing units to his poor micro. ... TOP's macro is really the only thing he has going for him, poor kid.
Yeah I think it was him who said that he is bad at TvP because he can't get good concaves etc. :/
His macro is obviously good but Mvp is not worse than his, whereas Bomber may have better macro than Mvp (hard to judge like I said)

Very cool. 
Everyone knew it was only a matter of time, so no one should be surprised, really.
I say bring it on! I hope the BW players can soon acclimate themselves to the globality of the SC2 scene - would be a shame if some great players were stuck in Korea instead of venturing out and showing their skill to the world live.

Just watch his games against NesTea or DongRaeGu.
Mvp's micro is not that great.
About MKP's micro, dunno ask people living in korea how good or bad his micro is, they know better.

Whoa, never thought people would actually use that after I made it.

I think that the main advantage BW players have is the mechanics and training method of the Starcraft games. SC2 is not the same game, it's similar, but has enough differences for a possibility to make several players rise and fall if they switched. It's going to take time for them to handle that transition properly to utilize their full potential of the mechanics they have.

How am I supporting his opinion about all SC2 posters when I specifically called you out for strawmanning his argument?
If you can find a SINGLE post where I bash the SC2 side of the forum then I'll rescind all my comments. You'll see that I've only made slight jabs at players at and the game, so stop acting all high and mighty when I haven't had a single negative thing to say about SC2 posters.
If anything, you're one sided for not even acknowledging that he has a point. The fact that I took NO stance in his argument and instead just reiterated it so that YOU could understand what he was talking about shows how ignorant you're being.

I'm so tired about high skill cap this and low skill cap that. The thing is both bw and sc2 share a couple of super high skill caps characteristics:
multitasking; you can never multi task too much in both games but as a human we reach a ceiling and have to prioritize.
micro'ing; you could control a single unit to perfection and an army as well but as humans we would lack in other aspects of the game

bye bw, im gonna miss you. *kiss bw*
|
So is this Proleague going to have both the old teams plus new sc2 teams like slayers and IM, I'd love to see Slayers vs SK T1. :D
|
i'm certain players like flash or jaedong will push the game to the limits and will provide a lot of exciting games with a lot of micro, macro, positioning and crazy situations, but blizzard needs to listen to them.
if they say something is wrong, they need to fucking act and not say "but the game has to be friendly to noobs". if they say the marauder is imbalanced or badly design, they need to act, i dont think they would anyway

I'm sad to see my favorite game of all time slowly switch over, but I am also very excited to hopefully one day see Jaedong playing SC2 Zerg. Its a bitter-sweet feeling for me, but I wish everyone the best of luck, and I hope KeSPA makes the right choice in the end of the day (that choice, even I don't quite know what the answer should be...)
