lol I seriously laugh at people saying eg.Flash and shit. SC2 sponsers are pitch poor compared to BW. So hiring Jadeong Flash and other top players will cost minimum 80-250k for each player. I dont think any sponser is able to do that...
Lol, right. Because people are serious about that being a legitimate possibility.

Huk cost probably 100k $, but like @Fionn said about the money, so it's never happened.

You guys do know that if the Brood War pros switch, more than likely the sponsors will switch as well, right?
Companies like KT, CJ, SKT1, Samsung, and Stars have a lot more money than any of the SC2 teams. It's more likely KT and SKT1 just buy Incredible Miracle or Startale.

I really hope that both BW and SC2 can co-exist, but im definately not so sure :/.

EG may have comparable amounts, but yeah sc2 korean teams are dirt poor compared to their bw conterparts.

Hope this happens, really can't wait for EG.Flash and EG.Jaedong! :D

GOM already has a good hold on the SC2 Korean community. I think the best case scenario in this situation is that OGN offers GOM a little bit of competition, but GOM keeps its clientele happy by offering more for less.
Hell-- they're sort of trying to do that anyway (for the good of eSports!)

I don't think there is any way that the scenes can co-exist simultaneously like this for much longer. At some point like this thread has suggested the teams and sponsors are going to switch over and it will be like WC3 where there are random big tournies still for those on top and those who don't want to leave but the money is gonna be funneled to sc2.

FXO is a pretty big company too, and TSL has been poaching since it's inception (FruitDealer)

I reckon KT, CJ, SKT1, Samsung and whatever may just switch as a team, like the whole roster. It'd be way easier then individuals leaving until the broodwar scene gets worse and worse with less and less good players... and less painful to see.

Lets get some A-Team Toss in sc2!!

I think there will be a fair bit of poaching regardless.

well it alreayd came out that the pros s were practicing both games as they didnt know what was going to happen before last league? if kespa wants to they will make them swtich.
Also people in the know like FXOboss have been told by many people that especially b and even a teamers have been playing SC2, and also last tiem this come out, we had a number of koreans bw players messasging players over battle net.
Why woudlnt we think they are slowly going to? Going to happen and more and more will swtich. Cant see flasha nd all going over till sc is ifnally finished if they even do then, they might just retire. But a lot will over the next year.

LOL @ people thinking they won't switch.....LOL

Don't they lose their progamer license if they switch? I for one would welcome some good Protoss A-Teamers, the lack of good players within the Code S Protoss is disturbing.

Well that depends on the practise tbh.
If he would be somehow in the same theme as flash/jaedong i say he got a fairly good chance to climb out of "nobdy status".

The chances of those sponsors just increasing their spending hugely is pretty low though. Maybe if there were serious budget cuts for the BW teams? But I don't think any big cuts were rumoured.

That's about where he will be stuck though. In the area where people know who you are but never expect you to realistically ever win vs the actual good people.

I don't think many people believe people will stay as BW pros forever, we're just doubting that Top A-class / S-class players will be switching anytime soon.
