The games are very different, i'm not saying they won't be good, i'm saying most of them won't be all they are cracked up to be. Boxer doesn't dominate the scene, NaDa doesn't dominate the scene, its MVP and Nestea and MMA and Ganzi, and of those, 3/4 were not great at BW. Yes because NaDa, July and BoxeR was killing everything when they switched, right? No, they were the old generation and their time was pretty much over. Bad example. | ||

You need to shore up on your BW history a little more before trying to make such statements. Boxer, Nada and July have all performed marvelously in SC2, much better than they would have had they stayed in BW. | ||

Bad example. while i agree with him to some extent, his examples were bad. My feeling is the game is too different for them to actually just hop in and dominate ezpz. | ||

What I am most curious about is that if BW s declining as rapidly as it seems, will top A team players (Hydra, Stork, etc.) make the switch now and start to assert dominance rather than play catch up later on. Or even retire. The biggest thing is that if these big name do make the switch, how big is the korean scene about to get? Will it just be gom, will kespa come over? (don't know there contracts with blizzard for SC2 so we'll see). I say the more skill the better for the scene as a whole, but this maybe widen the korean skill gap significantly. | ||

League of Legends is gonna grow, give it time. Also, we haven't seen the best RTS players switch over yet, maybe the game will be better yet. We'll have to wait and see.  | ||

Its fun and all, but i do not want to watch it. This is not meant to bash LOL but some games just arent for esports. Such as World of Warcraft. If anything dota 2 should be way higher, and even then i still would never ever choose it over viewing starcraft 2. | ||

There's been no noticeable decline in play among BW players (except Sea  ...  ) and you obviously can't remain as a top BW player if you're only practicing SC2. The most logical assumption would be the A-teamers from Hwaseung/MBC/Wemade who didn't get picked up like Anytime, Lomo, Pure, etc. I mean, FXOBoss wouldn't be incorrect to call these guys consistent A-teamers but they don't represent a significant difference in skill level compared to the likes of Mvp, fOrGG or Hyun.I am intrigued by the whole 40 days thing. It's pretty strange that they would all switch at the same time. I would assume this means Kespa will be setting up their own league and maybe even their own teams to serve as a competitior to GOM. Pure is doing military service. He and Kal applied for ACE at the same time and they picked Kal [Why they didn't draft Pure as well is beyond me - he's better than half their roster]. | ||

You are just stating opinion here, and those exact same things have been said about SC2 over and over again. You've been here for a year. You should know better. | ||
