Well I would imagine that Hydra could beat ForGG in either game easily. He's a much better player than him

Then you are completely full of shit. I remember you very well when SC2 was announced. I've been around since the beginning buck-o and like I just said, I know what you are all about.

Sweeping generalizations get us nowhere. Plus, now you're going on a different tangent in general (U.I.? Pllllleassse) and dismissed the previous points I've made (skim the last eight pages of the CH thread and tell me otherwise)

You want to continue to spin doctor things like you did in the 4 MBS versus non-MBS threads that went on for hundreds of pages each then go ahead. Make my day.

Your words have as much meaning as they did back then. Usually people grow. Unfortunately your still stuck in past. ._.

I'll make it easier for you to find what I said in the CH thread. In short, if the four pillars do crossover. I expect one thing and one thing only: more competition at the top end. Certain players will get left behind. Nothing more; nothing less.

So stop with your sweeping generalizations already. It's getting fucking old.

How can you say that Hydra can EASILY beat Forgg in sc2? What 100% factual information do you have on Hydra's Starcraft 2 play?

I am very sure that fOrGG has more than one build/style or ability or whatever you want to say in order to play this game. He's probably practicing this build until it's perfect and he can react to anything/everything his opponent does. Then he will move onto another build and do the exact same.

These guys play the damn game for a living, I am 100% sure that they know how to train better than any of us

INC arguements about BW pros beating BW pros in sc2 now hahahahahaha

Seriously it's getting out of control and it's just hilarious

"Oh yeah he was a-teamer, well this guy is a higher a-teamer, well this guy was a lower-s class player, well this giuy was a mid-range s class player" and it'll go on forever until some 16 year old kid with no experiance in ethier one will come in and wipe the floor with every single BW/SC2 player and we'll forget about ethier ones every existing. Probably not for another couple years though.

I've honestly never made a post on that subject. Also, I wasn't trying to start an argument about who's better (BW pros or sc2 pros). His post just didn't make a bit of sense if you really think about it.

that hydra is a really fucking good bw player, and he has an injury in one eye iirc.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

Does hydra stream? I'd be interested. Also stop with these nonsense BW vs SC2 posts! It doesn't matter if Fin is gonna win GSL or not, he's already doing a great job raising the skill ceiling and so will probably other BW pros if they switch over. SC2 is considered to be easier because it's new and not figured out and didn't have an expansion yet that might introduce new wonderful units.

Do you realize you just said a 16 year old with no experience in EITHER game(including SC2 in that statement there), will come one day and beat everyone at SC2? Come now, at least make some sense in your post. And assuming that previous RTS experience and talent has any correlation at all on performance(which, you know, almost every pro who has any sort of winning record has some RTS experience under the belt), then Hydra beating fOrGG based off of that assumption doesn't seem so farfetched.

I thought that's how Flash came about? Out of nowhere at the age of 15? The guy you quote has already stated that it wouldn't happen for a couple more years, and it's not that improbable.

I was pointing out that his statement was illogical because he stated that the kid would have no experience in SC2 as well. Flash had a ton of experience before he signed on with KT. His statement basically says that the kid will pick up the game and magically become god the first time he plays it, whether that was his intention or not.
