Lee Jae Gyun (Stars): Light suffered a lot at the hands of Protoss in SC1, so he tried Protoss at first, but after three days of excruciating practice, he changed back to Terran. No player in particular has switched races. A Zerg player has said he'd try out Terran, but it turned out he needed a lot of practice.
Oh how I laughed |

Fantasy is now playing zerg haha. Which saves your game to become a TvT fest I guess.
wow my day got even worse
Unconfirmed rumor. The only (semi?)confirmed race switches we know is FBH to Protoss and Calm to Terran.

Guess they rather have worse games than use GSL maps^^. Hopefully they'll produce their own soon enough.
It's kind of obvious that the players say whatever their management wants them to say but I hope that Flash actually enjoys SC2 that much for his own sake.
Kind of hoped the Ace match was BW tbh.
Anyway, I'm kind of excited to see how this turns out since I love both games.
The maps they are using are all technically GSL maps, with the exception of no space sharks, neutral depots and forced spawns (this is probably the most significant difference). Having said that, let's just hope they change the map pool at the end of Round 1 so that it becomes the tournament version (once they've had more time to practice on the tournament version of maps and stuff)
They're in the GSL map pool yes but they aren't GSL produced maps like Dual Sight, Daybreak, Atlantis Spaceship etc. But yes, hopefully they'll change to tournament versions after Round 1 or something like that. They can't use these versions through the entire season
Most GSL-produced maps were made by Korean community members, and aside from Daybreak and Tal'Darim Altar, I've got to be honest and say most of their other maps aren't really as good as some of the ones made by ESV.
Well considering they're forcing it on the players. I can see why some people might want to protest.
I most certainly do not like this format and the results are going to be all over the place. They took one of the most prestigious leagues and turned it into a circus.
I much rather it be a complete switch. Jump with both feet in. Don't tippy toe. |

Wow im shocked they joined it like this. I thought they would have a seperate league, just played by the players. Like teams would play a 7 games series of broodwar, followed by SC2 and have a seperate ladder, with maybe a combined scoring for playoff placement.
Pretty crazy, a little nervous that this will just end up being bad for both games |

SC2 should not be used for ace match
I'll be shocked if the SC2 games won't look like early GSL matches where T & P players do a ton of 1/2 base builds because comfort level to play beyond that isn't there yet in terms of feel and game sense |

| I'm positive that all the coaches, players, organizers, casters, and whoever else involved all worked extra hard to make the upcoming season a successful transition period. Looking forward to the season, and may Khan take the title! |

Considering how stubborn Flash is? I think he will improve quite fast especially from his modest answers and how much time he's actually putting in. If there is a player who can catch-up. It's him. |

Park Yong Woon (T1): Looking at the stats, and the fact that SC2 is the latter half of the series and the Ace match, we're looking at a 6 : 3 ratio of SC2 to SC1.
the fuck. SKT is going to suck this season. god damnit

I'm scared that the quality of the games, in both BW and SC2, will be quite low. All of a sudden they are forced to play two games professionally.
I think it's fair to say that the pinnacle of BW skill has been reached, and it will only go downhill from here. |

That's the feeling I'm getting too. There will probably be only a handful of games worth watching, but I'm totally expecting the mash and bash shit like you. |

SO from what I got, its 3 Bw 1v1 followed by 3 1v1 SC2 and then ace match (SC2)?
Can players play sc1 and sc2 or they have to pick? |

thanks waxangel and kimbillly.
i like how bw pros can find sc2 funny but some tl bw hardcore posters dont i'm all for bw but everyone knew this was inevitable, i dont get why some people is still crying (time to adjust or leave). i dont think some people even tried to enjoy the game because bw was THE game, well its time to embrace sc2 and see if it can turn out as fun as bw (or at least close to it). GO KHAN! |
