Heard people give the argument zergs got less of a margin of error or so. Not saying i agree or disagree but i think that was his point This. There is just 0 chance of him becoming a fantastic foreigner as terran. Zerg is a little easier mechanically so one can get away with smart decision making and less practice. | ||

Zerg and Terran are about the same mechanically, but Terran has a far higher skill floor. Means you have to be a lot better to have any success. | ||

It's only that really, past performance in other games doesn't give you much from what we've seen. | ||

The reason we haven't seen that many succesful Dota players going pro in SC2 is because we haven't actually seen a lot of Dota pros moving to SC2. Please list all of the dota pros trying to go pro in SC2 and failing before claiming that the transition is impossible, when we actually have a guy like Babyknight proving it is not. According to the people here you have a better chance of becoming pro if you've never played any game professionally as opposed to playing some non-RTS game professionally... Yeah, sure. Statistically he probably won't be successful. So what? The best of any game have always defied the odds. If we wanted to do an analysis I'm pretty sure for 100% of people the answer would be to never start professional gaming. If he wants to do it, more power to him. If he is actually willing to spend 8 hours a day in real practice I can see him getting pretty good. | ||

From what I've heard black is a really dedicated player who plays a lot, if he has the same mindset and attitude in SC2 he could go big. It's only that really, past performance in other games doesn't give you much from what we've seen. wasn't he the one who wanted to practice the least in the old mouz with Sing/Bamboe? I remember a tweet from Sing to Black, something about mouz having scrimmed for hours and Black wasn't with them | ||

I don't know that he is mid-masters, but quite frankly it's irrelevant. Even if he was competitive at a GM level there's little chance he'd ever make a splash in the SC2 scene. Do you realize how many players there are that have been consistent GMs for 2 years and still haven't made it as pros? No one is being put-downy... just being realistic. | ||
