Guemchi went to like gsl open season 2 or something. CJ let idra practice sc2 in the teamhouse, so it's possible someone like Nbs could be playing sc2. KT has fielded all that line up this season, except reach and anyppi. Maybe trap or size on stx (others have been fielded). SKT maybe someone not fielded, like Alone. Samsung khan maybe odin, as he hasn't been fielded. Shine hasn't either but shine definitely wants to play brood war (when his team disbanded, he went out of his way to be able to get on a team when he wasn't put in team 8. Compare this to hiya or midas or some other progamers). ACE has fielded everyone I think off top of my head except orion (even chavi), but who knows what any ACE member wants to do after they finish their military service. Team 8 shouldn't have anybody coming (that is their entire team). For some B teamers who knows, some could switch. If there are "top" brood war pros who have been practicing sc2 (and especially note the statement about exclusive sc2 practice), it's not really a "top" current pro. EDIT: didn't even realize like most of the names I listed as "possible" are the "playing coaches". But seeing as MBCgame's former coach switched (Coach Lee) to coach TSL, maybe some of the player coaches could switch. | ||

Would the viewership interest still be there for most people if SC2 becomes totally dominated by Koreans even more so then it is now. | ||

I assume alot of foriegn viewrs (like myself) cheer for foreigners to win (I know alot of people love the Koreans) Would the viewership interest still be there for most people if SC2 becomes totally dominated by Koreans even more so then it is now. If the level of play becomes higher why would anyone care? I'd rather watch flash/JD than mvp/nestea any day. | ||

FXOBoSs's Insights To those reading my blog I am not CNN. I am not CNBC… This is my blog. I have no obligation to anyone to reveal sources (especially the ones I care about) of information I post on my blog. I have posted information I have been given, and I have a direct source. Thats all you need to know. I would not fabricate such a claim without significant evidence. But this is my blog, not CNN. The ‘humour’ and ‘unprofessionalism’ of my blog is evidence of this. When the players I know that are switching, switch, I will blog accordingly to state that these were the people I am talking about. Good luck! | ||

I'd cry with happiness if BackHo started playing SC2. Don't think he will, though... but I'd fuckin' cry. Pure tears of joy. Reach too. | ||

A wittle bwirdy told me this morning that a certain number of brood war persons will be playing sc2 professionally in approximately 40 days time. Does anyone know what tournament this will line up with? 2012 Global StarCraft II League Season 2? Or OGN SC2 tournament? | ||

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/2011-2012_Proleague_Season_1/Round_2 Look at the last date from spl week 3, That would mean the last date in in Feburary, just around a month from now. That could be an possbility that pl would switch just after that. But that would throw off the entire spl right now. Because there still is round 4. round 4 would still be a month and a half. So no way the current top players are switching. only likelyhood is maybe former top players who aren't playing anymore since the disbandment. Which tbh none of them were top level players. | ||

Is that list official A-Teamers as per rules according to KeSPA? I would consider about a third of those guys A-Teamers. I always thought A-teamer = plays regularly/ semi-regularly in proleague televised matches. Many of those players haven't seen real action in over a year. | ||
