Are there any known/ suspected replays of him? Would be interesting to see his micro etc. | ||

Hots might help, but he still is sooo late. Are there any known/ suspected replays of him? Would be interesting to see his micro etc. He was years late to BW as well. It didn't stop him from dominating at the tender age of 15 and becoming the youngest champion ever. I'm not one to believe in the elephant, but Flash is something different. If his wrists aren't a problem than I fully expect him to dominate everyone right after the 1 year block it was rumored KESPA would put up. | ||

I believe that that "block" would prevent current GSL contenders from participating in KeSPA's leagues but not the other way around. Either way, I suspect we'll find out soon enough. | ||

Their viewership wouldn't take too kindly to having their heroes get dominated initially, which could hurt any potential leagues. Bit of a safety net against the unknown factor of "How good will the BW pros REALLY be?" I'm personally not too worried about it, I expect TBLS to be scary good. | ||

Also, within the BW pro scene, the hierarchy will likely be shaken up a bit. In the interview at least, I gatherered BW skill and success is not a 1:1 think amongest teams practicing SC2 since SC2 highlights different skill sets. Top Top players are probably still going to be good, but below that we could see some shifting in placement. | ||

Imo WC3 players are more likely to be great at SC2 than BW players, as that's more of a micro oriented RTS. Then again most WC3 players only became average, and arn't really a force to be reckoned with in the GSL. | ||

I mean, it took him years to get good with BW, and he was young when he started. A young mind can more easily learn thing than an adult mind. Either way I do look forward to seeing him at least play SC2. flash is only 19 years old...................... You make it seem like flash is in his 30's or something with a wife and kid. | ||

There are no heroes. There are no items. There are far fewer active abilities. There is no upkeep. BW and SC2 have alot of similarities outside of the UI improvements. Still need to be able to macro (though it's easier), multitask, balance economy, have attack timings, etc. etc. It's no coincidence that Mvp was dominating before his injury. | ||

I think these bunch of guys who are currently BW progamers, TBLS for example, are different in the case of Boxer or Nada or July in the sense that they are still at their competitive peaks and still within the infrastructure of a team. I have no doubt that when the crossover has been made, it will be pwnage once again, as if it needed to be said. | ||
