We haven't seen much of BoxeR or July in ages. Hell, NaDa didn't play a pro league match in a long time too. So yeah, they haven't been the cream of the crop for a while now. :/ BW Pros have no reason to switch with the guarantees on their contracts. I'm sure we'll see more transitioning in due time. As it stands, BW is still healthy. | ||

Or atleast this is my understanding. There is going to be a team league in 2011, but It's only once in the year, so I don't know if thats as often as BW. | ||

More than that though, from what I hear most of these pros are only dominant because of their APM compared to average mortals. They know this APM won't translate into victory in SC2, so likely they know they won't be champions at SC2. Different skillsets I suppose, when you lose in SC2 it's usually not because your hand wasn't flying around the keyboard at lightspeed. I doubt any of them would see the same level of success they enjoy now if they switched to SC2, because SC1 seems much easier to understand whereas SC2 is new and intimidating with its undeveloped strategies and questionably balanced state. | ||

I personally think BW will still remain number 1 until Legacy of the Void comes out and, presumably, SC2 is finally "done" and balanced. | ||
