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 Yeah, dude was playing Slenderman.

Isn't BabyKnight one of the only real Dota->Sc2 players that's had much of any success? Yea, Babyknight is the only pro dota player to get into sc2 professionally
Babyknight was a decent WC3 player as well though, so he had an rts background which helped him.

HUGE news! Good luck to him, but I guess I wont see Black's AM anymore which makes me kind of sad. Oh well, I hope to see him do well in the game.

gl hf I hope he find success in the sc2 scene.

I am sorry but I really don't understand some of you guys. 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. No matter what your background is, the chance that you will become a SC2 pro is pretty damn small.
The point is that if you have had success in similar 1v1 games like War3 or other RTS games, there is probably a good chance you might also succeed in SC2. This is much less the case when someone is comming from a considerably different game like dota.
Obviously it's his choice what he does and if he is switching because he doesn't like dota, that's fine if it's his hobby. But there is absolutely no doubt that the chance of him having a carreer in dota is many times greater than the chance of him having a carreer in SC2.

Can understand that. Team games are more infuriating than 1v1's are soul destroying! Hope he has the commitment to find a home in SC2, the days of part timers making a living from SC2 are numbered. If Bliz holds it's nerve HoTS looks like its going to be a higher skill cap and super intensive on the multitasking (hurray!).
|
he can micro like a God but if he's floating 1000/1000 by the 10 minute mark he won't go far.
|
I wish him good luck. I know that its hard and people will try to not give him a chance since it takes years of dedication usually to get good at sc2 but he has a NEW and REAL chance with HotS since it will change the meta game completly, giving all players a reset.
Good luck to Mouz Black. Fresh blood is in my opinion always welcome. If Grubby (babyknight,and others too) can do it then others can as well.

Seems like a difficult transition, but I hope he does well!

BOW!
Big burn on Mouz haha xD
But in all seriousness, I agree that DotA---->SC2 switch is much harder than SC2----->DotA. But, we'll see if it works out and just what kind of role he wants to play in the community (pro in tournaments, streamer, etc.)
|
Never gonna happen, black quitting dota for sc2 that is, it just doesn't make any sense, he is probably just mad about his streak of losses.
|
I don't get it o.o
Best of luck still!

I wish him luck, but I don't see it working out.

probably will see no results and quit after one month tbh. gl
|
He seems to switch games a lot. Maybe he will be back to HoN in a few weeks.
|
I really wish EE wasn't so mature with that thread after winning Dreamhack, that he would just tell them off once.
People are so insecure about other people aspiring to succeed sometimes.
