This article is in response to the Fomos 5 year article that was recently presented.
Note = this is NOT a direct translation. It's just a summary 
After the coach interview, many fans have been wondering whether Starcraft 1 progamers will either stay with their main race in Starcraft 2 or will change their race once the Proleague Season 2 beginsl
After asking the players some questions, many have responded that they will stay with their actual race.
72 of the 89 progamers that have responded with stay with their actual race while FireBatHero has stated that he is undecided for now. The 72 progamers who will stick with their own race stated that "it is far too late to change races now".
However, 13 progamers have answered that they will switch races. Leta, Snow, and THE ROCK stated they wish to change because they want to play a different race while Hoejja, PianO, Juni, and Great will switch races due to imbalance in SC2 for their respective races.
Hoejja answered that Protoss is just too good from what I've been hearing and have revealed that he is interested in Protoss and Juni has answered that "You must play Terran. That is all." Great has answered that he regrets playing Zerg in Starcraft 1 too much, and therefore, will switch.

What would his controls be like if Bisu were to switch from Protoss to Terran?
Bisu has said that "he wishes to play Protoss, but the thought of switching to Terran has come up a lot", showing his possible intent to switch races when Starcraft 2 is released. Bisu has shown skills that makes you wonder why he did not play Terran in Starcraft 1. (especially due to his high multitasking skills, and thus may show even better games if he were to switch races).
Of course since Proleague schedules have not yet been definitive, player choices may change, but if the players were to switch races we can expect (and be excited that) a brand new style and control from each of the players.

Man. It's really happening.

Noooo Bisu you must be Protoss! My mind can't even figure out what I would do if Bisu played a different race. It'd just be wrong.

Speaking as a huge Bisu fanboy who switched to terran in sc2 I would approve
It will be interesting to see all the race switches among the pros. I think Bisu will do well with either terran or protoss. He has good harass options with T of course and I think his multitask could really shine as protoss with warp prisms and proxy pylons harassing mulitple locations.
I am kinda sad brood war is looking really close to over though  At least it ended on a high note in the proleague finals and heres hoping Bisu becomes the first starcraft 2 OSL champ !!!

Bisu terran, Flash protoss .... i don't get it -_-
i have got strange feelings, but i think Team 8 playing SC2 from very long and JD as zerg crush everyone in first phase of new Proleague
|
No matter what race he plays he's going to own :D
What I like hearing is how many progamers have regretted their race choice in the end. How long is "too late to change"? Can't wait for all this to go down ^_^

Fantasy as Zerg already killed 90% of my hope.

Players switching races due to imbalance is really idiotic (if that is actually true), considering it changes so often, a couple of months ago Toss was by far the weakest race, whereas now they are doing great, if someone wants to be in Starcraft 2 for a long time they shouldn't pick their races for the next few years based off of monthly gestimates of balance.

Probably that Flash still cheeses on ladder every single game. And that he's boring, playing Collo death balls all the time.

Bisu as Terran makes sense, Terran rewards multitasking the most.
I wonder what Snow will pick, I think he could be a pretty scary Zerg.

Woah I go away and all this happens overnight o_o

People have already been switching races. If someone feels one race is stronger than another, why would they not play it? Incontrol switched to protoss for SC2, Morrow has been known for race switching, Artosis switched to protoss after playing zerg in the beginning of SC2, Idra went from being terran in BW to zerg in SC2, etc. They are not looking at stats and determining their race by that, they are deciding by how they feel when playing and possibly with some advice from professional SC2 friends.

As long as we're at it... I've been checking Sc2ranks pretty often lately, trying to find out who the BW progamers were. I'm not sure how many stuck with their original BW names and how many are playing under smurfs. Does anyone keep tabs on them?
Is FBH the BraQ guy on GM with a 74% win rate? Is the Bisu guy playing Protoss Bisu? (so many people early on had all sorts of iterations of Bisu as their name) Is GoojiLa = Kal? Etc etc.
I had a list before but somehow lost it.
Possible list (those not written in Korean characters) in order of points (descending). Take note season is relatively new. Some already have an amazing amount of games characteristic of BW pros (like forgg, etc)
GM
BraQ (FBH?)
Bisu
maRie
Masters
last
zero
KDY (Kim Dae Yeob?)
GooJila (Kal?)
Grape
Shine
firebathero (toss, lol)
Stork
Flash (zerg, below 50% winrate... I doubt)
Sharp
oDin
Reality
movie
Free (zerg... I remember seeing a free before who was toss)
Light (a bad zerg, likely not Light)
GGPLAY (likely someone else's smurf, as ggplay was injured and stopped BW because of that injury)
Stardust (terran, lol)
Flash (66% toss)
Bisu (47% toss)
FanTaSy
Midas
effort

Artosis switching his race was one of the saddest things I ever witnessed. 12 years of Terran patriotism down the drain.

So was Stork. But they all found their true (and far superior) calling.
Once you go Aiur, you can't go back.
