seems like SC2 community isn't ready for BW pros switching over. All they ask if they will play in MLG/IPL/NASL or GSL omg omg when all they allowed to play is in the Proleague for now when on 2nd of May they will announce the new format.

I don't understand your post. How does that mean that the SC2 community isn't ready? Sure some of us are a bit naive since we don't know how the BW/KeSPA format worked. So?

I can't want for him to switch over and either destroy everyone or be yet another mediocre korean terran so the stupid elephant argument can finally be put to rest and we can move on.

why does everyone auto-assume they will dominate.. the results of BW players in SC2 are seriously varied. Lets just look at Boxer for example, great at broodwar but no where near that level in SC2 (although he made code S, he didnt last long)

Nada also has yet to really do anything, repeatedly dropping into Code A.

Players like Flash, Bisu, Savior, they are mechanical beasts and seriously dominant at broodwar but it does not mean it will translate over to SC2.

nada was a great bw player but I believe his successes were some time ago, certainly longer ago than flash's

plus he actually did really really great in Code S for a very long time. I think he was the longest player consistently in code s until he dropped. he also made 2 consecutive semfinals last year iirc. He did really well in sc2 considering everything.

I guess we can conclude this era of SC2 as the "Pre-BW era". It was fun while it lasted. Can't wait to see the paradigm shift that the BW players will bring with their practice regimens and unparalled skill xd

I agree, I think the skill ceiling is not high enough and there's too much rushing/all inning going on in sc2

That makes the game hard imho. Simply marcoing is one thing but if you have to fear an all-in, there will be a lot of variation.

Actually, BW has a lot of all-ins as well. They are just more disguised because the person who fails the allin doesn't died right way due to stronger defender advantages in BW. But there are pushes/timings that are in BW where you have to do critical damage or you will be so behind that you will just get contained and die a slow death.

Hope this doesn't mean his OSL matches will be bad because he was too busy practicing SC2 -_-

Hmm, thought Flash was practicing his translating skills. I'm super excited to see how well BW players do, though it'll probably take some adjusting time since the game is so different.

On another note , I assume when he starts playing , Terran will get nerfed to oblivion

Flash is talented enough that theres no way he won't be good at SC2. I'm sure these BW guys will bring it when the time comes, they are professionals after all.

Very exciting.

Honestly, I'm mostly excited about this because it will finally end the statements: "Yea, but when the BW players switch over....."

Whether Flash is sick good at SC2 or nothing special, I'll be satisfied when I don't have to listen to that shit anymore.
