You have the people saying "I'm taking this with a grain of salt", the people saying "They're going to destroy everyone!" and then the people who say "No they're not!". Of course finally, a bunch of people drop in to say "OMG I hope Flash and Jaedong switch!!!" I'm quickly losing hope that these threads can produce anything useful or original, but whatever, I guess there's no harm in it. No, just lock them dude. these threads are just intellectual vomit, with tons of people bickering about stuff that neither side has any real facts on, and then the occasional reference to that other awful elephant thread. that's what I think anyway >_> | ||

User was warned for this post why was he warned? everybody got right to an opinion? on the other hand.. When I look at Julyzerg and I think back to Broodwar Im not even sure anymore that the top players from BW will dominate when they switch over..I mean sure.. I suppose there will be some new innovative builds and strats but I dunno guys...I mean July clearly got problems with the Sc2, his decisions when charging in with lings vs marines in a corner with 2 medivacs is just so fail..sure he was not at top at the last years but still..it's a former champion from 08. | ||

Obvious attempt to stir up a BW vs SC2 flame war would be my guess. | ||

Getting to one finals once and then getting demolished doesn't mean anything, I mean inca made it to a finals too. | ||

But on topic, I think it would be cool to see some BW elites come over to SC2 for a couple of reasons. 1) to mix things up and see how the current SC2 players fare, 2) to see if the BW pros can transfer their skills to SC2 - because the races play very differently (i.e. I think Flash's current Terran style would be more suited to SC2 Zerg or Protoss than Terran). 3) to see if they're still the best and/or so freaking good in general that they dominate a new game as well. Would be cool I think; but I've gotta admit, I'll feel bad for BW and the old scene. | ||

Wow. they were a level above MVP when MVP was playing BW sure, but then MVP started getting really good at SC2 to the point he's at now, people need to stop Over estimating how good they are going to be when they switch, it's not like all current sc2 players are going to disappear, but the Bar will certainly be raised for the lower tier of pros | ||

My point was he was terrible in bw when he switched over. It's amazing how people still can't grasp that | ||

However, I think the best case scenario is if they open up a new, separate SC2 league (individual or team) that incorporates existing SC2 players and teams in addition with some BW players and teams. The BW leagues would still exist since hopefully OGN will have a separate broadcast schedule for the SC2 leagues. Handled correctly, this can grow the scene tremendously without too much risk of doing damage. Handled incorrectly, I fear that this may be very destructive to both scenes. | ||
