The thing is those results happened when he was only devoting half of his time to the game, so it'd be reasonable to assume he could achieve an extremely high level if he was 100% on SC2. | ||

How dare someone like a player more then his skill warrants them too. Especially a legend like moon was in WC3. Anyways, I'm really excited to see what moon can do given his background at foreign events. Hopefully he does not disappoint. | ||

Yeah, that's still not hypeworthy. It'd be interesting if he was actually going to commit full time to one game. | ||

Look at players like Kas, Thorzain, Demuslim, Stephano, violet, naniwa, sase... while they were good in wc3 and wc3 skill doenst translate 100% to sc2 (dont come with grubby - he said himself hes a very slow learner and he played orc after all  and hes still pretty good already), Moon was at LEAST heavily favored vs all of them at all times.ofc he will be a great sc2 player and in future better than Nestea (dont compare nestea to MVP please...) when he switches fulltime and doesnt play wc3 anymore. He already was 2nd at dreamhack and only beaten by HuK and honestly, he shouldve won that final if it wasnt for that strange thaldarim version. | ||

He already was 2nd at dreamhack and only beaten by HuK and honestly, he shouldve won that final if it wasnt for that strange thaldarim version. Moon was focusing on just SC2 for more than three months when was in GSL and a part of Wemade. The only reason he went back to WC3 was to compete in WCG and now that is over he is back to SC2. Why was it he couldn't get to the top then? Moon has the potential to be the best in the world but I don't see that being realized under the fnatic tag. Fnatic is a sinking ship and they have no team facility or partnership in Korea for Moon to fully dedicate. He could do better on another team but I could see that limiting his chances of going to international tournaments. | ||

On the other hand if he does, would love to see just how far he can go. I don't think he'll ever reach the level he was at when at his War3 prime simply because his attention is divided now between progaming and his family, but I think he'll be pretty damn good if he devotes more time to SC2. His IPL 2nd was apparently won on the tail of very little practice, so if he puts more time in the game, he should be at least solid Code A level. He was in pretty bad shape in War3 when I saw him last, so maybe he was shifting his practice time around a bit. Either that or taking a vacation from the game, lol. Idk. He doesn't practice as much as he did way back in the day, and that practice was a good deal of what made him so good in War3. I'm still not convinced he is doing SC2 full-time, but we'll see in two days. | ||
