I do not see anyone touching Jaedong or Flash or Bisu if they transition over, Bisu's multitasking will blow people away, just check his FPVoD's, one game vs Jaedong springs to mind where he is storm dropping and controlling DT's and never drops below 800 minerals/gas, just insane. Will it take them time? Most likely, but people who've only followed SC2 should know that these guys will stop at no end until perfection is reached, they learn and don't repeat mistakes, it's why they get payed so much more in salary compared to their teammates, and why they are the best at the hardest game to ever master. The sheer determination in their eyes when they play is incredible and a real talent to behold. The hardwork in practice is ALWAYS mentioned by their coaches aswell, so clearly all they want to do is play play play. That said, I do think it'll take them a few months to be at that level, just due to the fact that Nestea can probably keep up with Jaedong in speed due to the easy mechanics that SC2 has (Jaedong will slowly use this to his advantage by figuring out ways he can use his outstanding unit control and APM in other efficient ways). It's exciting, and it's sad for brood war, and no you don't have to have played Brood War to appreciate the skill, well ok maybe load a few games up just to see how hard it is, cause that's all i've ever done with that game but watching it is still mind blowing. | ||

This game has come so far in such a short period of time, having these guys take the game by storm would just make it explode to a whole new level. I'm excited. I can't wait to see what happens, I can't wait to see who among the best in SC2 now can compete with the best from SC1 and vice versa. I can't wait to see how the western teams adapt. It's a good time to be a fan. | ||

The person you quoted ClouD is actually a very good player i think his opinion is worthwhile. Personally i don't think certain players will enjoy the game enough to play it professionally; Flash for one. The first generation who switched, such as MVP had a lot more motivation to play because they had a very good chance of winning some serious prize money. With a large switch at once this isn't going to be as big of a motivation anymore. ForGG must feel a bit stupid now he gave up a salaried position in KT to play SC2. That's stupid, how would they do that? I don't know if you even watched any BW but the thing is the APM has to be split between macro/micro. No one can do everything at once, even Flash has idle SCVs everywhere. In BW when a pro micro's his army, he's using ALL of his APM at that time to control his army. The difference is he has to stop controlling it at some point, picking the best time to devote his attention to other tasks. In SC2 they will have the same APM used for army control except they can just focus on the army entirely. They are not going to be able to magically achieve any feats they couldn't do before. Why people don't quite understand this and get it wrong every time i don't know. This is ignoring the whole fact that battles are over so quickly and the units are not designed to maximize micro potential. You aren't going to see anything like this: The game simply isn't designed for it no matter if players have 100% attention to their units at all time. Good post. Loved the video. Although "micro potential" is something that will be only developed after lengthy exposure to a given unit.. more so than just 1 year.. I do agree that battles in SC2 simply end to quickly. I think Blizzard should think about increasing the health:damage ratio to combat this. Or perhaps reduce attack speed across the board... | ||

That video just reminds me of how overpowered Vultures were in SC1. I miss that. | ||

let me explain you, if BW players switch they are gonna increase the skill ceiling sooo much is gonna be hell for everybody else. Everybody will need to play 24/7 like BW players do and they are not used it to it and they are gonna become unhappy and fall back. The amount of time foreigners put in the game are a joke compared with BW house factories, BW players are practice machines, you dont understand dont you?. ask BW gods what were doing christmas night? practicing. New year eve? practicing. Holidays? practicing, they get bored if they dont practice. is gonna be hell for everybody else to keep up. so i encourage you to be against this! BW needs to live for SC2 to be enjoyable for the current players. | ||

Its pretty obvious that anything that makes it easier for you is also easier for your opponent. Come on. Game could be fucking 4-square (game of kings), if I am playing against a 7 foot tall pro 4-square player it is going to be real rough, even though the entire game can be described in two sentences. | ||
