Sadly, that thread has been misunderstood and misread for so long, and its implications and points twisted enough, that unless Flash utterly dominates from the very instant SC2 is being publicly played by BW teams, the people who hate that thread will have a field day. There literally will be posts like "I DONT SEE NO ELEPHANT?!?" etc etc after Flash loses his very first publicly played game to a player who didnt play BW. I feel that the elephant thread is pretty true, but it should never have been written because it never will sway one perspective to the other side. Everyone who played BW for years understands what hes trying to say, and everyone who only played SC2 just doesnt want to hear that kind of thing. All in all if the article had to be posted it should have been worded differently. Because now it and all its points have been taken and twisted to the point where theres no end result that will convince either "side" they were wrong. I think its best just to let the BW players have some time to learn the game and figure out how it works fundamentally, that way they can apply their own approach in time. There is a great chance they will be behind for awhile at first. Thats normal. But their team house infrastructure and training methods are going to produce some great players eventually. I hope that people will give them some time to catch up before claiming there is (was) no elephant. | ||

There are certainly going to be BW players who will suffer with the transition. With BW, there is a very high entrance level in terms of APM. If you don't have a high APM, you can't play the game. For this reason, many players with great mechanics but less game management skills can excel in BW through sheer superior control. And these players may not perform as well in SC2. But the very best BW players will almost certainly be beastly after the transition. In fact, I can easily imagine someone like Stork, who's getting older and falling in micro/apm, perform perhaps better with less strain on mechanics. | ||

He has had a resurgence within the last year though but I'm sure he lost many fans during his dry spell. Haha, well he's my favorite BW player and has been for the past three years. It just makes me excited whenever his name pops up. Is he not on Stork's level? Haven't followed him as much recently. Sorry for getting off topic. | ||

But you are still hitting the right scores making pars when you need to although still mediocre compared to your glorious day in base ball . Meh........ | ||

It literally has nothing to do with the fact that they played brood war, it has to do with how they train for sc2. | ||
