Haha, wow. I was thinking to myself "I wonder if he's looking at SC2 at all?" But I wasn't actually expecting him to get picked up by a team like this. Damn, nice.
I'm gonna go with Milkis and think he won't make much of a difference other than discovering some neat new timing attacks. But still, a great add to oGs... Although I don't think we need anymore Terrans in Code S

In SCBW he was a lot better than MVP and was an intelligent player whereas MVP was more of a bot-type of a player, I have no doubts that he'll become the best T in the world in no time.

Timing attacks in Sc2? lol, you haven't seen anything yet.
I think this automatically pushes MVP aside as the best BW player to switch over at the material point in time. People should know that he won a championship in the "modern" BW era of TaekBangLeeSsang, going through the sickest run ever by beating Sea, Kal, Flash, and Jaedong to take his only MSL gold. I always felt that among those who "retired" from BW, ForGG would be the true beast in SC2 because it would reward his amazing sense of timing attacks (a skill in which only Flash exceeded him) so much. 1-1-1? I have a feeling he'll come up with something even more devastating.
I am so stoked. The first LEGIT A-teamer to go pro in SC2 (MVP was Woongjin Terran he doesn't count but hey he beat Flash in a game right? LOL ForGG beat Flash in a SERIES).

I hope he does and that other sicko's will switch to a pretty exploitable market because of him, greatly boosting the overall skill in sc2.
He's already torn up the ladder, held #1 on the ladder for a bit. MVP was probably the most successful current BW player to swap and look at his success too
I'm giggling like a motherfucking schoolgirl!! If the guy who beat Flash once won three champioships, surely a guy who's beaten Flash in a bo3, and JD on multiple occasions will dominate.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! (Sucks for all other SC2 players though... I guess silver can be fun too)
Yes, finally! Arguably the most skilled BW pro at the time of his retirement (comparable level to MVP) to switch to SC2. I'm interested to see if he can live up to the hype. If he does indeed have multiple top ladder accounts, perhaps there's something to it. Unless I'm mistaken, players like Bomber, Byun and Puzzle used to be teamless but high on the ladder too, and look at what they have achieved.
