Just imagine FBH trolling Idra with one of his crazy dances :D
I believe FBH is actually quite embarrased about those ceremonies and he writes it off as juvenile silliness. FBH changed a lot when he went into the military. Those ceremonies were years and years ago.

lol 6 months, we are sepaking about Flash here, not some random scrubs The best BW players haven't become the best War 3 players, just like the best War 3 and BW players are not the current dominators in Starcraft 2. Stephano was an average HU semi-pro in War3, at the time Grubby and Moon could take him 5-0 easily. Look where they are standing right now. There's a correlation between skill in war3/sc and sc2, but not an absolute causation. What's so hard to accept about this fact ?
w3 have nothing to do with SC, but SC2 is similar to BW u can't deny that, we are not talking about a guy that move from COD to C&C...
Flash can do it in a month or less imho

It all depends on how much he practises and how much he enjoys playing but if he had the same feeling like at the start of his sc1 career every pro should just retire now : P

The chances of the playing in the tournament are definitely not zero... I'd say around 80% if they come..

Cant wait for BW ballers to join the fray.

any chance the BW pros will be the first to get the chance to play HotS?
i'd love to see that

I still see people asking for sAviOr...

He's banned from Kespa AND Gom (this includes everything about the scene like coaching and commentating). Any tournament that would take him in would have NO OTHER Koreans and many foreign players not showing up too. You guys need to realize he will never be in ESPORTS again, especially not in MLG. You can say a lot about MLG but they would NEVER make such a stupid move.
I'm hyped for whatever MLG will do with this.. some random showmatches with the big 3 (4?) in BW would be beyond awesome. I'm not sure I would enjoy watching them having a go at WoL... maaaybe HotS since everyone sucks at that =P

did you even read his post, the coached said that KeSPA players won't play in non KeSPA leagues this year and vice versa. therefore the chance is 0%.

i know the opportunity for PPV for MLG anaheim would be extremely profitable it this were the case, but I hope the Esports gods will at least supply ONE free stream on the bigger games...

I love announcements of announcements~ it's very Incontrol-esque.
Seriously though... anything less than a SC2 Flash vs Jaedong show match will be a disappointment. I'm really thinking that MLG_Adam has over-hyped this though.

omfg, this MLG is going to be so huge... the world may just explode.

Unfortunately you're probably right. I'm all for the second chance though. Byun and CoCa's incident was much smaller but I'm sure they have learned their lesson.

Well, ByuN and CoCa wasn't even close to what the Matchfixing scandal was. CoCa and ByuN just agreed to play a third game in a series that they considered practice. savior and his friends... well.
But honestly, I don't really care one way or another. But we probably never going to see saviOr play in any event ever again, so debating about it is pointless. I'm pretty sure no one that was involved in the scandal would make the same choice if given the opportunity.
On topic : I WANT THE DAMN ANNOUCEMENT ALREADY

It's 9:02, what's the deal

this site is so selective for "announcements of announcements" threads
|
Seriously, why make an announcement of an announcement and then not actually do it at the scheduled time? What a rip. I can't believe I actually tried to be at a computer at 9 to catch the news.

I don't think the announcement was supposed to be today - I believe it was meant for yesterday, and when he said 9PM EST, people around here think he actually meant 9AM EST.
There's supposed to be a big announcement coming "next month", though, I think he said?
