On another note, Moon (as far as i know) is the equivalent of flash in WC3, and while those are different games, the same can be said for BW against SC2 despite it bearing the starcraft name | ||

And then three, four, five. It's the same old story. People overrate players. He is no Flash. Not to be rude, but I think you are incredibly ignorant. Moon has the nickname "the fifth race" for a reason. He is the best Warcraft 3 player of all time - even BroodWar professionals that you so highly covet, respect Moon's ability as a professional gamer. As people pointed out already, Moon was "part time" playing Starcraft 2 and he still did better then a lot of Korean professional gamers who did Starcraft 2 full time. Let me clarify by saying "part time": He was playing Warcraft 3 at a top tier level, travelling back and forth to China to play in major tournaments - even qualifying for WCG (which is rather difficult considering the amount of players in Korea still playing it full time at an insane level, like ReMinD). Additionally, while he was with WMF he was expected to play Avalon Heroes and do promotional work for WeMade Entertainment. Spirit_Moon has done more for this industry than you can comprehend apparently. Just because you hold BroodWar on a ridiculous pedestal, does not mean that you can try to discredit arguably one of the best gamers of all time. Shame on you. | ||

Yeaaaah, I'm new to the whole e-sports thing with no prior fandom of BW or WC3, but if the line is "Moon is no Flash" I totally agree with the above. WC3 has it's god, it's Moon. BW has it's god, it's Flash. Sure, the BW -> SC2 transition is far easier to comprehend than a WC3 -> SC2 transition, but Moon surely has great potential to do well and, like a lot of BW pros, if he can meet his skill in a previous game in SC2 we're in for exciting things. I'm not going to hype him up like the fanboys will (and have for other players too quickly), but that doesn't mean I'm not looking forward to what Moon, who has such a great history in e-sports, can bring to the e-sport I most enjoy. | ||

I realize we post on a Starcraft website but a lot of the ignorance towards Warcraft III and its players is pretty bad. | ||

Me personally, I've never been good at RTS games so I never played any beyond custom and single player, however I have been an avid spectator of RTS for a very long time now. And this includes Warcraft 3. To me, players like Moon, Grubby and Remind will always have a special place in my heart no matter what game they are playing or how they are performing. This is the mentality of a true fan. | ||

As I said, he is no Flash. Since everyone likes to cite TLPD so much, why don't we have a look at the top 5 current foreigners? Mana Kas Stephano SaSe Naniwa 4 out 5 are former War3 players. Mana being the only ex-BW player. Mana is good but his ELO is inflated due to various online tournaments (he'd still be up there, but he might not be deserving of #1, as many would agree). If you even go down the list of foreigner players, it's dominated by former war3 players. Who made it to TSL3 Grand Finals? Oh yea 2 ex-war3 players. Kind of sad how little respect many of these players get. | ||

The real measure is the korean scene, where the top tier pros are, where clearly players with pro-BW backgrounds are dominating. | ||
