i know, but the oldies and goldies should be pillars of this community (notice how i dont make distinction between the two), weeding out the provoking idiots that go "flash in sc2? omgzzz", not flaming with them. let alone inciting the flame first. ... | ||

I wholeheartedly hope that SKT, KT and co. only send their B-teamers to SC2, that should be enough to be a tip top SC2 team. I think that the difference between BW top dogs who switch over (and other really good SC2 players) and "normal" SC2 pros will be quite noticeable - but there will never be an SC2 bonjwa. I can see long win streaks, though. | ||

Oversimplifying. In SC2, like most RTS games, more mirco means that it takes less army supply to achieve the same task. With less APM needed to macro, micro potential would increase. Saying Flash wouldn't be dramatically better than someone with less accuracy and APM than him, simply because the mechanics of the game are different, is illogical. If a top player will make way more money playing SC:BW than SC2, they will probably play SC:BW. If the player made the same choice with opposite monetary opportunities, you could make your argument with some substance behind it.

They don't seem to be a large company considering the only thing I find when I google them are porn sites and a wiki page doesn't even seem to exsist. | ||

His salary alone comes close to the money he'd make winning every major tourney. Why risk it? because he wouldnt, if the entire BW scene shifts to SC2 and his salary remains the same then all it akes from him is flying out for a couple days to tear apart a tourny, assuming he can get a couple days without a match then it wouldnt affect his results at all and hed get alot more money | ||

If you read the discussion, he's asking why Flash wouldn't switch to make more money through winning every tournament with ease. If he had the choice to switch and still keep his salary, then there'd be something to argue. | ||

I want to see how they would change the SC2 meta game but at the same time I want to keep watching BW because I find it more entertaining. I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too. | ||

Good thing Blizzard has two expansions to go to get it right, but there are other persistent problems out there too. | ||
