Pretty much. SC2 is the faster and less unforgiving game.

BW has the bigger fan base and popularity

We already saw what happens when Flash switched to sc2, he got smacked and went back to BW. To be fair, he makes a lot more money playing BW anyways

Maybe, but what the Kespa shift showed is that SC2 and BW are different games and success doesn't always translate. I have no doubt that top foreigners could become quite good BW players with practice, but there would be a steep learning curve and no guarantee that they'd end up being some of the best.

Good bait going on here

People forget that TY aka BaBy was very very very good at BW as a Kespa pro? Or atleast conveniently ignore it in order to be elitist about their game?
