If Blizzard keeps at least MBS in do you think we will see old veterans like Boxer becoming new top greatest?

Garimto that currently commentates GomTV often says (AFAIK) current Protoss players play not as good as they could... I think he means micro, like pulling back in PvT in time before Siege Tanks eat Goons... do you think he could come back or stay with commentating?

Garimto tried to come back in SC already but retired again.

I think that was his point.

I dunno if he's commentating.

I don't know if he, and others from the earlier generations of pros, will/can come out on top in the early stages of SC2. Maybe.

But if they do, I don't think it's because of MBS/the lack of MBS but because of their talent/intelligence/experience and just their affinity for RTS games in general.

I don't really see this topic going anywhere but will leave it up a while to see if it does.

Isn't Garimto GomTV commentator sitting currently on the left part of the screen, right earlier?

I mean guys like him and Boxer got rusty over the years (or army duty).
If MBS is considered lowering skill overall would they start playing SC2 competitively, especially when 1st pro leagues will be created (like day of release at the latest imo ;P)?

MBS will not be in Starcraft 2, if starcraft 2 has no macro aspect then Starcraft 2 will not boom in the South Korea. This isn't warcraft crap, for all the new warcrafters coming here, go back to the stupid hell hole you came from.

I don't want to make this into another MBS debate please, this is a question what will happen if they keep it... it's just there are no signs Blizz will remove it but whole bunch they try to compensate for it

We'll be sharing SC2 with those warcrafters so I'd prefer it if you didn't needlessly insult them.

Translation: Shut up and get back on topic!

I doubt it, The only thing that really holds macro down is just the fact that the game has not been figured out as much. Once people figure out correct play styles, maps, and unit combos when/where etc. then the micro players start to lose.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

I've said it before and I'll say it again rA and boxer will do really well and I don't forsee any of the macro eliminators being removed, they'll beat around the bush but they wanna make the game more modern. This is holding true with what I'm reading about the state of the game atm as well.

JINNNNNNNNNNN HOOOOOOOOOoo

Seriously, I think none of the old progamers will come back, there just isn't any sparks and motivation left.

But if there is one, I hope it's the numbah two

How can you say that? SC2 is a different game with a whole next expanded community, you can't decide whether they find the spark again or the motivation, that's inside them. Corny or not its true.

I think some old schoolers might make an attempt with SC2, but I don't see them succeding, at least most of them. Actually, I'm thinking that there will be a recycle of progaming figures, and that eventually it will be 50% current SC bigtime pros and 50% newcomers, until those 50% fade away and it's only new SC2 born players.
