"This has been stated from many players and coaches all over the BW teams that BW zerg players are having a hard time in SCII."


I'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks zerg is so hard in sc2.

I wonder what Blizzard will think of this?

Does that mean the zerg players from broodwar that play zerg in sc2?

As of now and for the first season of BW/SCII combined league,

NO ONE in SKT1 has changed races.
Bisu, Fantasy, Best are all playing their respective races.

Jangbi: Protoss -> Protoss
-Samsung Khan coach January states: As "Jangbi" wanted to change to Terran, he has tried playing as Terran, but eventually could not give up on his original race Protoss. However, he still says Terran is better.

lol :D

Actually was hoping Bisu were to make that switch to Terran. Well maybe in the future. I hope Flash does remain Terran though. A bit bummed FBH decided to go Toss, but if he wins, his ceremonies would make MC's look like nothing.

That's all part of the Media Day: SK Planet Proleague Season 2 thread.
Calm (Z->T), FireBatHero (T->P), Great (Z->T), Chavi (Z->P), Rush (T->Z)
All other progamers are confirmed to keep race. Every team confirmed which (if any) players switch race.

What league are you? Unless you're top 5 Master you really shouldn't say anything about "Zerg feeling hard". The effect of balance on your results is dwarfed by the effect of your own skill.

Also for the fan's perspective, I think they would feel refreshed to see the BW players to play as different races.

HOW ABOUT NO

except for KR ladder you overestimate quite a bit what top 5 master lvl is...

I heard Soulkey and ZerO are doing damn well in KR SC2 ladder and adapting well to the new game.
Is this true?Cuz if it is i will be so happy to see these 2 top zergs to play well in SC2.

Other BW players are struggling with SC2 and i don't really hear any news regarding Jaedong.
Play your best

They can do whatever they want, it's their choice, lmao.

We've seen a lot of role reversals in SC2.

Zerg is really hard to master at the moment and I don't blame the zergs feeling this way, but once they get their chops and game sense going. Zerg can be incredibly strong. I have high expectations with HotS too.

I think Zerg will become the preferred race, but once again that's all speculation. Just have to wait and see. :D

That would be something else because right now those guys are the go-to guys for BW as well for Zergs.

When I played zerg in season one, I found gold to be very hard, then steamrolled platinium directly into diamond. What I mean is I feel that each race has some automatism who greatly improve your play. Once you triggered some you make a skill jump. Like once you have decent larva inject, it can really improve your game a lot as you can't miss larva inject without being punished against cheeses, or even simple pressure early in the game.

Wow. Didn't know the players had to ask you for permission. Better inform them and their coaches.

As I predicted well before they started playing or practicing sc2. The game may have similar characteristics and style but it is definitely a different game and with all games it takes a immense amount of quality time to be top tier pro level. Good to see people are not being ignorant to that fact still and are more sincere in their answers.
