EPTHe will dominate the SC2 scene if he just keeps up with his practice. Because he is the hardest worker out there, and a guy who thinks about the game non-stop. Not because he has faster hands/better reflexes/some inborn RTS talent.

MMA played his last professional BW in mid 09 a year before SC2 released. He didn't switch because he saw an opportunity for more money he quit because he wasn't good enough to get stage time. Just like all the other B-teamers. Iloveoov: It is regretful what happened with MMA. He knew how to read the game. He was practice partners with Ssak, and he developed very quickly. He entered the military but was injured so he had to return early. I heard he now plays under Boxer and recently won a tournament. | ||

My guess is that Bisu will be the strongest BW switcher out of the gate, and a year from now Flash will be back on top once he's established the same brilliant gamesense in SC2 that he has in BW. Keep in mind that those mines needed to be individually targeted, and that he was playing against Flash. | ||

That's why I want replays, it will be so funny to analyze all the little things that a BW pro is doing "wrong" in SC2, but still winning, because of superior mechanics and general starsense (without the proper decision making or metagame understanding). This stuff is pure gold, we are missing.Oh wait, did somebody notice that Flash doesn't know about SCV's auto-repair on the first game? | ||

It's true that Flash did not have to fastest hands in the BW scene, but he dominated because of his amazing decision making and "inborn RTS talent." If it were as simple as working the hardest than guys like IdrA would be at the top, progamers who have played 12 hours a day since beta.

Kespa's reloved around their players. Doesn't matter if it's SC: Brood War, SC II, or LoL. If they're signed with Kespa they must abide by their rules stated in the contract. | ||

Great for you, I won't disagree. Flash is then the hardest worker and it will transfer over to SC2. That is my point: whatever it was, it is going to translate. | ||

Well theres a difference between mindlessly playing games and playing each game and living the game and thinking about all the potential scenarios in your head. Perhaps flash is the hardest and smartest worker out there. He got his decision making through thinking about the game all the time. I read a few of his BW interviews and he literally lives the game 24 hrs everyday, playing games in his head and going through all potential scenarios that could happen. Visual training provides a significant amount of benefit as well according to studies. I don't think any other pro-gamer is able to do what flash does, living the game literally almost every hour of their life. Maybe thats called talent, i think its just passion and smart work to me. | ||

Please not this tired old debate again. Just because two players are working 12 hours a day doesn't mean they are training the same way, or have the same attitude. The best coaches and training buddies plus hard work are what separate the outliers. If you watch idra he just BM's and calls his opponent bad if he uses a strat he's not expecting. Talent is just this mystical thing like the soul that relies on circular logic. You can only say someone is talented because they're talented. You can't really define talent or isolate as some sort of brain structure. | ||

Seen that clip before, I thought it was good micro but didn't realise the thing about the mines being targetted. Mind blown! | ||

The interview you speak of where hwanni says its talent that separates the good from the great is because at the very top, they are all the hardest workers, if they weren't they wouldnt be there, so yes talent plays a part but only at the very top where you aren't the only one busting your guts out to be the best.. | ||
