I don't care about BW players. Until they play SC2 I couldn't care less.

zvz doesn't go past 1 base, sometimes 2 if both people 12 hatch.

zvt terran sticks to 2 base mnm for pretty much the whole game, zerg takes third when his lair tech units are out and fourth gas when he has defilers.

zvp protoss forge fes, zerg double expands, toss will get a third when he can defend it vs fast mutas or mass hydras (around 10-11 minutes), zerg expands again when he feels safe

tvp toss generally tries to take a quick third, terran tries to punish with 2 base timing, but i don't really understand any non Z matchups

pvp generally one base or someone defending their fast expo vs fast reaver or dt

tvt fuck if i know but it's not fast 3 bases

I think worrying about imbalances at this point is quite silly. A player should play whatever race they enjoy the most/feel fits their style. If a Protoss player from BW prefers Terran in SC2 because they feel it's similar, then so be it. It bugs me, however, when multiple players are actually worrying about balance when deciding their race. In fact, Heart of the Swarm is coming very soon, so it would be silly to think whatever the game is like now will be what the game is like in the near future (as a Zerg player, I'm freaking excited for HotS, haha).

I'm hoping somebody comes along and plays better than Flash. He's awesome, but monopolies don't make for good competition The influx of BW players who have more (recent) experience as gamers is pretty cool (although it hurts a little to see it).

Wow 2-3 years flash said. Must be a shock to find they will basically be giving up playing bw by fall.

I hope you don't actually think that the FBH on the Korean ladder is the actual FBH. It's just the smurf of somebody else, just like MarineKing was using "BoxeR" before he was famous.

HotS is coming very soon? I think you exaggerate alot. The beta may come soon, but they won't have time to play that anyway because they still have to practice and play WoL (and BW) for Proleague from May to September and maybe upcoming tournaments abroad. HotS won't be relevant until the very end of this year or 2013.

Quite possibly, I don't know. But, It isn't likely for a progamer to use their alias on ladder. In Brood War, they pretty much had a new name in every single replay that was identified as them. I would think they would use some random ID for practice until they reached a professional level that way people couldn't have "bragging rights". But, if FBH confirmed it himself then I think that's extremely bad for him.

If HotS get released in september-december this year, then imo these bw players picked the worst time to switch.

Its like it should only take a month or 2 to get used to sc2 mechics in preparation for HotS, but 4-6 months is most likely not enough time for anyone of them to get better results than mby low code A in WoL.
