It doesnt matter. SC2 is a different game and it will take awhile to acclimate. These pros arent going to come over to sc2 and dominate. Its not going to happen. Well, maybe if they all play terran they will

I've been hearing that every BW pro team has had their B-teams playing sc2 mainly. No word about A-teamers, but B-teams playing sc2 is a very realistic possibility.

They are coming...

In his retirement interview he said he got beat by fOrGG off-racing in SC2 and he doesn't want to try and play SC2 anymore.

I look forward to seeing higher calliber games, I am not however looking forward to seeing my favourite foreign players be left in the dust

I wonder if foreign teams would still contract foreign players, maybe put some type of stipulation in contracts stating that players must reside and train in Korea. I can't see foreign teams just standing on the sideline, I am sure they would want a piece of the Korean pie

Also, of the top Korean BW players how many of them are still required to put time in the military?

Theres a difference between playing pofessionally and playing full time.

It is possible that these hypothetical A-teamers might try to pull a Moon and play professionally in two games at once.

Moon has had a hell of a lot more success in SC2 than many fulltime SC2 pros since release. Even though he hasn't tried to requalify for GSL in a long time.

I don't think kespa would allow that

Wasn't there a post about this a few months ago? Like a bunch of the SC1 teams bought brand new comps that were obviously meant to run SC2...? Why bother added more hype while adding NO new information? I'm really sick of all the needless hype being thrown around the scene.

It's probably not what he is going to do but it is indeed something that some people will do.

I believe the within 40 days comment is new information. FXOBoss is rather plugged in to the korean scene. I believe him.

i don't care what you've done in BW, it means nothing in SC2 till you prove yourself. there have been enough arguments claiming the games are different.

I agree. I wish he had announced this in a better, more professional way, it almost seems like a bid for attention.

Whilst I am not fully familiar with the names (I am for sure not going to openly state who they are for risk of being insulted) I know that their results are very solid and consistent from brood war.


Not familiar with the names? Then how can you know that they are good, A-team pros?



I am technically not familliar with Flash (I, believe it or not, started to watch sc1 tournaments last season, when he was injured, so I never saw him play, nor do I know what he looks like) and yet, I know that he consistently owns the shit out of everyone... So how did I do to know flash was A team if I never saw his play, or his face before?

Boss is clever enough to not post this kind of information if it is all speculation, he obviously has some decent intel.
Is this the website for Counter Strike?

I'll believe that when a great BW player switches over and doesn't play well. Even the retired pros like Nada, July and BoxeR do fairly well.

Nope.

I mean I'll probably bump the thread when ForGG wins GSL January.

For those who don't know, FBH is currently serving in the military, and has been for a while. He still shows up and plays (really well, I might add) in PL for the Air Force ACE team.

I suppose he could switch to SC2, but certainly not while in the military. If he does, it will be after he's done serving, and I think it will be great for SC2 if he did. He brings a certain showmanship that we have not yet seen in SC2. Sure, murloc costumes are nice, but what's a murloc costume to a lengthy dance and your balls shockingly close to your crushed opponent's face?
