guys, most of the amazing scbw players haven't been that great, the bonjwa, NaDa hasn't put up beastly scores recently, MVP was minorly good, ogsfin / forGG was good, but not great, JulyZerg, one of the great zergs lost to HuK at dreamhack. 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.

I think what he meant is that LoL is becoming the go to game in Korea.

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.

Be respectful to the LoL community. 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.

If this is true, then the players switching aren't players really worth getting too excited for. 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.
