This is important. The essence is to identify former brood war (or war3) players, who might have been forgotten, as starcraft 2 players.
I am looking for names that are standard for each player during the brood war era. irOn -> MC feels like an ideal example, but that might just be my prejudice. He might have used that for a long time before.
Right should be right. Though I feel most in the list so far are actually accurate?
(Although I guess if you had him you'd have to have pretty much every foreign SC2 player as virtually all of them who were well known in SCBW made the switch to SC2, still, you've got the WC3 players listed so...)

My point was that a nobody B-teamer that did not play any televised game or barely attended any offline preliminaries would might not have it listed. It was a precautionary method so he didn't think that any player he searched would have a known BW career listed.

There is a distinct lack of Bisu. And Stork. And Fantasy.
It would be really neat if the OP included people coming from other games, too. The majority of SC2 players come either from BW, W3 or didn't play competitively at all before that. What I'm curious about are those that come from other games.
