After's HyuN's Code A qualification I now believe I was wrong. He beat stork a while ago... I wouldn't call him awful... He wasn't doing so well at the end... but meh. | ||

I learn quite a lot from listening to them. Gisado is a damn good strategy analyst in particular, although he talks too damn much. | ||

I think it's really more of an issue of over-hyping the definition of "A team pros". Objective measure of current A team pro (proleague appearance or starleague) really makes you dehype the announcement. A bw pro isn't going to be playing sc2 in practice time if they were to appear in proleague (or be submitted for the lineup to kespa for proleague. but that's my opinion). I'd say most likely is someone like  Major, who beat  BeSt in like an OSL qualifier and was on Wemade fox (now disbanded). Showed some solid play and had a decent record, and is young enough to want to continue being a progamer after Wemade disbanding. Certainly fits the 5-month profile (end of last season proleague, etc).But who's going to go crazy over some people like Major being professional sc2? Never_V_/forGG/ogsFin (whatever you want to call him) was a starleague winner and Hyun was a pretty consistent A-teamer and made group selection stages of starleagues. Players from wemade/mbc/hwaseung (like perfectman) are best bets. The announcement is misleading towards players who are even in teams to have "practice time". Unless CJ blows my mind and throws out an sc2 lineup. Idra did play sc2 in the CJ house and I didn't even know CJ (apparently) owns Gretech as posted in this thread. | ||

I still do not think any of them will dominate someone like mvp or even be significantly better. I dont see what they can do so much better then mvp or leenock to consistently win. Well for starters with mvp, he can stop queueing 3-4 scv's at each command center, stop having his money slip to 1000 before the 15 minute mark. Sure they are really good, but they are far, far away from perfect. | ||

Well doing badly doesn't necessarily mean they're switching. Form fluctuations are pretty standard. There are a couple that are underperforming, Mind, Action, Calm for instance while others aren't getting much TV presence anymore. But that doesn't really mean much. It's pretty useless to discuss this anyway as it's baseless assumptions without any real content. | ||

That would be awkward. More likely that it would spiral to the point where top BW players would have no choice but to switch in the not too distant future (assuming that what FXOBoss is saying is true.) There's been like 3 decent BW players that have switched, I think it's extremely premature to speculate that BW is going to run out of players. | ||

I dont think he consistently does that if you watch GSL matches where he has time to prepare specific builds and I do not remember his minerals consistently going over 1000. I would argue the top korean pro players play close to perfect right now. A human only has so much apm and so much multitasking. Every person even flash or jaedong loses games and makes mistakes they are just humans. | ||

There's a reason Mvp is easily the best player in the world right now. He can beat other 'top' players (albeit on the ladder) using off races. ForGG/Fin already looks amazing compared to the current players. It's a different game but the concepts and mechanics translate. This is nothing but good news for the SC2. Why do people care what race the players are so much? Better play is better play. | ||

After's HyuN's Code A qualification I now believe I was wrong. Precision (mouse movement...etc) from these A level BW pros is unreal. All you have to see is how MVP is ForGG plays. The precision is just on a different level. I'd love to see MMA play just so I can compare his precision with other top SC2 players. I once watched the show B-Net Attack on MBCGames where they had Jaedong as a guest. After watching him play (from his point of view), I can truely believe that he is a legit 500 APM guy (and I don't mean just spamming the same hot key). I can only imagine what he'd do as SC2 zerg... with Queens and creep spread... he can probably beat half the current SC2 pros with only zerglings. | ||

I'd be interested if really high level ones are switching. And of course if VODs are available. I don't like this waiting until 5 am and watching business. I wouldn't do that for free, let alone pay for it. | ||
