avilo and the other SC2 pros wouldn't dominate the new game as the extra APM ability would be wasted in a less demanding game. SC1 players are good at SC2 but do not dominate the game completely.
Yeah, we've seen that with Pillars in CCG... But I guess you weren't around back then.
But old C&C gamers had rather little use of their past experience in the series when entering CCG as well. The game was quite a drastic difference to what C&C had previously been, so pretty much everyone started from the same line.

I think RTS play just evolved greatly over the last 20 years. If you watch replays of his play of those early Gens days, you will see it is not magnificent or something. But it was great for that time.
Macro isn`t very important in Gens so maybe he had great macro but it wasn`t that useful.
Arecal played a few weeks of ZH this summer. With all do respect, he was really terrible. Even after he had time to unrust. His overall micro/strategy was way worse. He was probably one of the worse players in the league at that moment.
I lol'd while reading this. If you actually think that I was playing at all serious during the summer, then please get the wolves together and sit around and listen. When sumbody goes 6 rax mass terrorists without a supply like 10 cw's in a row seeing it fail is more a show of insanity than a competitive gamer. And the hundred other similar games where micro is overruled by having my shoeless worker drive in a tech only to be rediculed with his cheap ass ride. Watching him step out the car, run in a circle and get back in and search for mental parts to pimp the ride only to then get fucked over by a raptor coming out of nowhere. No, this is not pro gaming.
Anyway, I do disagree with your whole oldschool vs newschool notion. But there was this 1 guy I played, the dutch guy who was at #1 who I thought would be competing at top even during our time.
Who cares ? IF gamestyle is like cnc3 Shock bikerush Techquie greasy Ect If gameplay is like Zh or sc2 Hero dackel Moon NightEnD aLive Who ever plays 24/7 or gets a seak Beta
Because..?
There are general RTS skills which you don't lose easily.
But when a new RTS comes you need to adapt to all the new circumstances.
If a person wants to get into/prepare for Gens 2 fast that person has to play alot of RTS (sort of a warming up) just before Gens 2 comes out.
