Just like back in Broodwar it was an incredible achievement if a Foreigner could take a single game from a Korean, right? Lets not begrudge people for supporting who they support. There's no reason to take people's knees from under them if we can all be realistic and accept potential and results are two different things and should be kept in their own discussions. For my money, I'm confident the GSL players will win. However GOM may want to send out fan favourites rather than players who are the current hot shit. I'd expect MKP and DRG to be involved for that reason, but I might suspect that someone like Symbol or Monster would be left out in favour of slightly more stalwart players. It'll be interesting to see if Naniwa is asked, although given his personality I'd suspect he'd question being asked to show his builds to GSL players outside of the GSL itself. On the Broodwar side, I think its fine that the fans want success and want the Broodwar skill to translate into SC2, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. The broodwar players might be humble, but they're not liars, and they've all made very strong statements about their standings vs current pros and the time it will take them to be at that level. Even the most confident estimates have said 6 months practice in SC2 before they challenge current GSL pros. We're a long way from that, and I don't much fancy hearing a load of bellyaching and excuse making from the Broodwar contingent if/when Flash loses. In shorter terms, what I want to see is this: Broodwar Players Lose to SC2 Players > Broodwar fans accept it, say they put up a good show, and hope for the future, within which there is every chance the Broodwar players might turn out to be very, very good indeed. MAYBE. What I DON'T want to see is this: Broodwar Players Lose to SC2 Players > Broodwar fans start a flamewar about how the Broodwar players are still, despite losing, somehow supposed to be miraculously better than everyone else, and the discussion devolves into another bullshit elephant in the room argument that goes nowhere. Of course, if the BW players win, then all of that is blown out of the water. But I don't think even the BW players would suspect that should be happening. | ||

Take Polt , Bomber and ForGG as example. Everyone knows they are really really good. If you watch them stream they show a level of play so high that they could take a bo 7 series against anyone on a good day. Are they bad players you mean ? | ||

That means the Kespa players have really high chance to succeed, I don't think it will be so one sided as people are saying here. Being great Code S player doesn't help so much here. | ||

Seriously the scariest players besides Jaedong play Terran so for Symbol it would be an "easy" win. It would be a great game though. I think that if they put in Inori in a PvP it would be all but over for anyone he played. My point here is that Gom can easily win this but is that the point? If that is not the point, what would be the point of the showmatch? So basically what your saying tsl should play the kespa players? | ||

Surely if things go to mid-late game Flash/Jaedong/Bisu/Fantasy have a chance. I might actually take Fantasy or Flash on liquibet right now, to be honest. | ||

I think it would be amazing. The BW Pro's are really good at Sc2 already but many of them are not even able to get into grandmaster yet, in part due to having to play both SC2 and BW at the same time and due to the time they have played. The meta game they are playing with is also more geared towards broodwar builds right now. Overall if they play the top class Code S guys seriously right now I don't see any of them taking a game off unless it is early game cheese. | ||

There is a huge division between the GM players alone. Being GM isn't enough. I'm not saying they'll take over the scene in the Fall tournament season or anything, but out of the total starcraft 2 players in the world, how many do you think actually make GM in 12 weeks of picking up the game? Was anyone here GM in 12 weeks after their first glimpses into "over...seer? hmm... maurader... wonder what that does"-stage? I know I wasn't. Now imagine a large pro-gaming organization who has just about everybody making a minimum of 1200pt++ masters within 4 weeks and of all those new strong players smushed into the upper masters, already so many are becoming GM and rising there too. I'm trying to put into perspective for us mortals exactly how good these people really are at RTS games. Meeting/hanging out with them is the only thing that really made me realize how in-depth these guys are and how far beyond comprehension they have taken their understanding of every timing, combination, etc. tl;dr Basically saying these guys aren't going to be considered "not-up-to-pro" level SC2 for much longer. | ||

Just sounds like an oportunity for a few BW Pros to show they are good at adapting to a different game, thats it. BTW: BW Pros aren't necessarily talented, just faster. Look at Nestea, who never had the mechanics to play BW, but is a genious in SC2. Even in current SC2 world Nestea is considered a slower Zerg! Maybe BW Pros will change the game by playing faster, but I highly doubt it. They will change the game due to their work ethic more than anything, which is not gonna happen for 6months to 1 year time. | ||
