why does evryone think that hen bw pro players will switch they will be above mvp and nestea?
it took forGG 8 monts to become as good as he is now.

if they swap they will probably be as good as Grubby and Moon.

And dont bother arguing cuz there is no way you can tell for sure

Dont think that any of them will switch cause the big money is still in BW.


lol no.

why can't people let go he can never compete again. NEVER!



Because in all of us, we know it's such a waste that such a talent can't play anymore TT

This again? These "A-teamers" who are supposedly "only" practicing SC2 would not be getting anywhere in Proleague.

Total bullshit. Maybe a few b-teamers will switch but it won't be like Boss is saying.

Korean sc2 scene is so tiny though (hi there GOM exclusive deal). What is the incentive for big names to switch?

To people saying they are different games, I dont think anyone can make the claim that the BW pros will just immediately come to the sc2 scene and dominate but what we can safely say is that they will bring over their work ethic and innovation with the game. For example two of the best sc2 pro's right now weren't immediately amazing it took awhile but now they dominate everyone, and MVP was just barely an A teamer.
If you attack before 15minutes.. It's cheese....

if the details in boss' post are correct then i doubt the bw pros switching over are ones that have played a proleague match this season. no bw team would seed any A teamer out in proleague that hasnt been practicing sc1 for the last couple months. so the people he is talking about are probably some a-teamers for the 3 bw teams that recently disbanded: FOX, OZ, MBC. so maybe (P)Pure, (Z)Saint, (T)RuBy, (P)Pusan, (T)major, (T)HiyA, (P)PerfectMan?

LOL @ ppl thinking that ex-A teamers (A TEAMERS!!!) won't totally dominate the SC2 scene. And no, current A-teamers won't switch, proleague is too competitive right now.

It is not quaranteed succes if you were a-teamer in brood war, it just means that you have higher chance of succes than lets say b-teamers

There is many b-teamers who kinda dominate the scene and many b-teamers who fail at the competition. There is just too much variance. This is why bw-succes does not automatically grant you great succes at sc2, it just means that probably it is somewhat higher probability.


Face it. SC2 scene is dominated by ex-Brood War players who were good at it. It's not about chance, it about time. Success is absolutely guaranteed and the question you should be asking is not "Will they succeed?" but "How long will it take them to takeover the current 'Good' SC2 players when the 'Good' BW players switch?".

Also, regarding the title: 'Top'? Hardly believable. Any 'Top' BW progamer would be crazy to switch to SC2 now.

I would not call most of ex-bw players careers very "succes", but mediocre and many of them are very bad aswell.

Would only be great if the community merged in to one. The less split there is the higher the level will be.
Sad for some of the BW fan boys but SC2 can gain the same level of skill if the pro's challenge eachother enough to force new levels. You can already see a huge difference between sc2 now and 1 year ago. I expect major new influx of former BW pro's at HOTS not really before though, there is too much strategy too learn to have success that quickly I think.

On top of that, forGG never even tried to qualify for GSL till recently. He was that good for a while now

fOrGG and MVP were the two best when they switched over (I guess PuMa as well), and they've done extremely well so far. The entire level of professional SC2 will increase if active A-teamers start switching over regularly.
