I'm in the same boat as you OP. I don't have any BW bias, but I have been watching the new Proleague and the previous '11 OSL. Let me tell you, there are so many players that do incredible shit, it's just f-ing amazing. If the current BW stars do switch, I'd be extremely excited (though I'd also feel bad for the BW guys because it would really mean that BW is dead). ForGG is showing us the potential of SC2, but only for terran. Imagine what warp prism harass would be like with Bisu at the helm or mutas in the hands of Jaedong. I honestly think they would change the SC2 landscape and I wouldn't have it any other way. Deathball vs Deathball sucks death-balls. | ||

ForGG reminds me of MKP, strong pushes and micro, i feel he has a better understanding of the game than MKP and doesn't have the mental weakness of MKP neither but it's the same "kind" of playstyle. I hope he'll grow better and better and stop doing timing attacks every game (yeah, i know he's known for that^^), if not, strong players will figure out his playstyle and know how to scout what he's doing and than proceed to hardcounter it. He's kind of "new" for almost every player so... I'm not saying that he's not as good as he seems to be, he's really really strong but i just hope he'll not follow the path so many good players followed before falling into darkness. I think being a former BW pro gives him a lot of flexibility and creativity, he's really refreshing to watch. I'm a fan already  PS: nice write up, good job OP Lol he hasn't started doing timing attacks yet... And even if tvt != tvz, if Mvp can't beat Leenock now he doesn't have that much of a chance against fOrGG | ||

The hard truth is he's still just a really good Terran, but we have plenty of those he has so far only show mid game and early fights, he has yet to face off the real challenge that Terran has late game Why is he overrated? He crushed his opponents before they even got to late game. What does that say about his skill? He's this hyped because he is the best BW pro to switch. Look at MVP, the second best (now) to switch and he's dominating the scene pretty hard. | ||

You're assuming, of course, that fOrGG can beat Leenock, and that even beating Leenock means he can beat MVP. If that's how it worked then Destiny's the best in the world, because he beat Leenock ages ago. That's just silly. | ||

Personally I believe people are not bind by their past success or failure, and they can improve. Nestea was a terrible player in BW, look how he's doing now he has beaten sage, polt, and july... Sure good players, but people are blowing this out of proportion as if they are really top tier players in the first place | ||

Before this there wasn't a close to good ex-bw progamer playing SC2. Nada, Nestea and Boxer, they were all nothing. | ||

I don't assume that fOrGG can beat Leenock, I dunno and that's not what I said lol. I just said that Mvp can't play to his best lately and thus he probably won't stop fOrGG in his royal road. | ||

Because I'm fairly certain we've already had a few BW banjos in SC2 for a while. | ||

MVP has the best game sense and strategical mind of any sc2 player right now, but that means forgg can learn from MVP as well. Everything else just comes naturally from playing the game more and more. | ||

Watch game 2 and then tell me MVP is not in shape. | ||

Silliest jump in logic I've seen yet. What does not being able to beat arguably the most in form zerg in the world at the moment have to do with beating a new-to-the-scene terran? It's a completely different match up. | ||
