EPTAnyone who knows the progamer lifestlye in bw they know they have little time if any to play any other games. Its not like sc2 where you can take some time off. Many bw pros play for 12+ hours a day with usually 8 being the minumum. I doubt with the stress of PL on now. They likely don't have time to play sc2, nevermind the amount he is playing currently.

Probably closer to "bonjwa" (blasphemy! you must basically be alone at the top for an extended period of time to be called a bonjwa, I believe) than "your typical top player at the GSL". Only S-class player for SC2 would be MVP imo. S-class in BW is like the biggest superstars in the NBA, or someone you would start your franchise with. So in the NBA, it would be Lebron James, Dwight Howard, Kevin Durant, Dwyane Wade and maybe Kobe Bryant (too old now). That's pretty much the list. Similarly in BW, its a list of 4, maybe 5 people. There's no one in SC2 that's S-class simply because no one has consistent enough results over years that you can be sure you want him to start your franchise. MVP is good, but he was knocked down to Code A before, and you can't guarantee he will have continued success. Just too early to tell. | ||

S class is a classification for a player, code S is a tournament distinction. They are different to be fair. Though Code S is for the best players you cant have 32 s class players so its not the same. | ||

They don't need to be near-bonjwas. | ||

He could possibly have been a great player if he kept going on BW but he was around a 40-50% player. debuted '08 in spl and was little less than 40% career; not really 50%. "S" class means very elite tier, basically the "ace" of every team who also do well in individual leagues. Think of it that way. Taekbangleesang (bisu flash jaedong stork) and some others when they are on a good streak. Things like the six dragons when they were prominent. someone just answered as I was typing, but yeah. Hydra can be s class as he is a recent MSL winner and one of CJ's aces. Effort isn't S-class right now but when he won his osl he was. S-class usually has like 70% winrates over the course of a pretty dominant period. | ||

I am 99.999% sure this is a smurf. Anyone who knows the progamer lifestlye in bw they know they have little time if any to play any other games. Its not like sc2 where you can take some time off. Many bw pros play for 12+ hours a day with usually 8 being the minumum. I doubt with the stress of PL on now. They likely don't have time to play sc2, nevermind the amount he is playing currently. If they're stuck at Pusan currently with not much to do, I can see them knocking out a bunch of SC2 for fun/practice. Plus, there have been constant, incessant rumors and reports that Kespa is about to include SC2 in Proleague in a very big way. | ||

Code S is a status for a player at SC2 for a tournament: GSL S Class: a player who's highly regarded a tier above the Class A team (see: Horang2, Soulkey, Stats etc..) and a S class by recongition by everyone (TBLS, and debatable: Leta, EffOrt (in his prime), Jangbi) | ||

All have been the best of their respective race for a long period of time (with the possible exception of MC, who is maybe the equivalent of Stork with his ups and downs). Players like Jjakji and Leenock are trying to reach that level of being the best for a long period of time, possibly the equivalents of Jangbi or Fantasy. To give some indication of skill, there are 4 S-class BW players. There are 32 Code S SC2 players. Just because they both have the letter "S" doesn't make them the same term, guys. | ||

The Messiah is very much back. | ||
