There was an obvious richness to the Proleague format's viewing experience in the golden years of professional Starcraft Brood War, and a less glaring yet intuitive one.
The measuring of the former factored in a sense of economic and social importance provided by renown sponsors, TV prominence & ratings, abundance of players and of course booth girls.. while the latter had coaches and their decisions making for an intricate sub-plot the outplay of which warranted a special anticipation. It was interesting to see their attempts to maximize and best-suit the variance of the players' capacity. A capacity which they were advised to get informed about, testing every aspect thereof and helping it grow.
The team's success as a whole was paramount, but underneath it and arguably more captivating were the individual strivings for favorable statistics, respect and likeability, not unlike the present day. However, unlike today, the enveloping body recycled every aspect thereof; it was an artfully crafted engine of sustainable intelligence and progression.
Far from being limited to the activity of coaches, what I call the latter was also what enabled viewers to actively take part in the intelligent swarm, and greenlight its growth as a phenomenon. Naturally, one's proficiency at playing the game could persuasively explain to a curious third party why Proleague was worth watching, but so did one's knowledge of the scene.
I haven't been able to come close to experiencing the anticipation that Proleague generated in me back then, until I wound up checking 1Million Dance Studio's channel for choreography videos, and so that's what I've been doing, more or less every day, for about a year now.
In a nutshell, given the choice between an outstanding group dance performance and a likewise outstanding ASL broadcast, gun to my head I'd probably go with the dancing. With an open mind you might catch on as to why. Let me explain, from the logical beginning.

Any activity worth doing --but especially worth watching someone else do-- needs to be a funnel for multiple aspects of awesomeness. To explain to a TL forumite in particular why this channel provides one such activity, I'll resort to comparing its aspects to that of Proleague. Picture music in a similar way as you would a map, to a large extent beyond the individual's creative control, and a dancer's body as you would a progamer's gross/brutto physical capacity to play BW. A build is like a choreography, because a dancer's capacity to create a good one and to execute it implies training and muscle / mental muscle memory.
So, upon exercising your cognitive abilities to equate playing BW to dancing, you now might be wondering how to harness that special anticipation you felt before Proleague matches every time you see a new video appear on 1M's youtube channel. Basically, you need to get to know the scene.
Get an intuition for what I call the latter richness. There are times when the music simply doesn't permit any satisfaction, from the get-go. Sometimes the choreography doesn't work, one or more dancers don't make the best of it, or their ensemble doesn't click. When all of the above don't apply, maybe the choreographer --akin to an uninvolved coach-- doesn't allocate enough attention to perfect the act of their followers, or simply due to the limited time dancers fail to improvise accordingly. Fail to implement their strengths and own it.
More often than not, the choreographer/first dancers are killing it, but the subsequent performances are lackluster.



This is not one of those times

heard you like KeSPAghetti
Try Tony's Spaghetti and get
meatballs for free. Eh eh ehh


Anyway, as a secondary layer of comparative introduction, behold the forming of 3 superlatively remarkable SC:BW players of the golden years of Proleague via the amalgamation of four 1M choreographers/dancers each. Primary Female Choreographer, Prominent Female Choreographer, Outstanding Female Dancer and Established Male Dancer.
If the playful exchange can function as a gateway into the top tier of what 1M and BW is & was about --coming from Proleague or vice-versa-- then the comparison will be warranted, ushering in a meaningful quasi-genealogy of idiosyncracy and appeal.
Perhaps this exercise in cross-dimensional characteristics' translation will permit a coherent extrapolation of the relevant aspects of awesomeness.

I've placed the identity of the progamer corresponding to the amalgamation of choreographers/dancers within spoiler tags, just in case you are familiar with both areas of activity, and wish to play the guessing game I've thus laid out. Although my equations make sense to me, you might not agree with them even in the unlikely best-case-scenario event of me having eloquently explained the matter; fact is this is a highly abstract and subjective affair, and this its disclaimer. The above description of the goal and method --and furthermore the conclusions being elaborated on as a result of allegedly having applied it-- may prove to seem like pretentious pseudological elucubration.

Btw, I'm available to comply with requests, should this post have piqued the interest of some blogs-perusing soul other than a scammer/advertising bot so advanced it can temporarily cloak its purpose by fronting feedback, or moderator exclusively assuring by-rule abidance.. (not ~), enough to generate curiosity regarding choreographer/dancer spectrums of other progamers, or, alternatively, to ask which progamer nexus a particular choreographer/dancer imo best adheres to.

While Lia Kim's body's autonomy seemed like the ideal choice to highlight FlaSh's androidness or Bisu's multitasking, control coherence, timing precision and trump exploitation persistence, in terms of hallmarks of her physical capability at first, I found that Jaedong is a better canditate to match, compartmentalize and channel that immediate, uncompromising and distinguished physicality into his metaphorical arsenal upon sensing the slightest whiff of weakness, setting it off onto a Hyojin Choi trademark rampage like what does mercy even mean.
By settling for Mina Myoung's overwhelming creative multiplicity, and her ability to accentuate her co-performers' impact, by binding the course she set out for them to her subtle gestures, I make a leap of faith that I can convey that the aforementioned qualities are on a more sophisticated, preemptive/prophylactic, delayed and thus more difficult to pull off level to be found in Bisu, who arguably sets himself up for situations where he can use his superior micro for higher profit. Then, the chance arises and he simply does not cease to amaze me with the inevitability of his surgical exploitations' deadliness, just in time for everything around him to fall in place in his favor.

Mina's trademark centering of herself might come off as unattractive if it wasn't such a beautifully crafted system, designed for every dancer to have the luxury of outstanding amplitude and the apparent prominence of a standalone choreographer at their disposal. The minute I understand and retrospectively see how behind the facade of lightness she was dominating in terms of gravitational force --her name in the title or not-- I question my understanding of time and causality in a pleasantly mindfucking way. Extending it to BW though, ironically, it helps me sober up and see clearer than before into Bisu's consciousness.
The laws he bends and programs the breakdown of. He circumvents the rigidity others succumb to by lifting the restriction on the self, enabling his fitness for psychonautic acrobatics to Shine . Juggling with his attention, shifting between identity states and hierarchies, becoming one just in time to bounce in his chair like an enthused bunny.

I love Tina. She's so cool, regardless whether it's stand-alone or in an ensemble contrasting Isabella like Bisu does the Dinotoss, in her choreography or someone else's, beginner class or otherwise. Basically, *knock knock*
Who's there, Tina Boo?!
Yes, I'm Tina Boo, but..
Oh mg, nice. Come on in!
You were supposed to ask Boo who
I'll do whatever you say
...
Would you like all of my Drones?
, know what I mean?

Yoojung Lee choreographed Gravity with majestic supremacy and overwhelming power, but the overarching impression that I get watching it is that of Bisu virtually emulating himself subjugating his enemies, exhausting their aptitude to stand, so they just hunch to show they've given up fighting while typing Goddamn Gravity. FlaSh might be better at realizing that outcome per se, albeit reminiscent of a machine, lacking the perversion of savoring it quite like Bisu. Observe Yeji Kim, and her stealth as she rushes into place at Yoojung's right hand side. She can be cheery but I like her mysterious calmness as she transparently delivers --as Bisu's DTs' psi daggers often do-- the coup de grace in the murder of every Mina, Lia Kim and Yoojung Lee masterpieces she appears in. Tina Boo will inevitably accommodate her in a non-beginner one that will blow me away, soon, and it will be glorious.

You might know Rikimaru from DoTA. He sometimes wears a wig & stash and goes by the alias Lang Buddha on TheFamilyRP. Seriously though, that guy is married to Yumeri Chikada --a fellow dancer-- and you can tell he breathes dance. 0 inhibition Spitfire.


We're wrapping up, coming full circle with the above video. A showdown between Rikimaru and the avatar I'm confident about having chosen appropriately for FlaSh: Fucking GoSh. When this guy's hair is gelled back, it's like Sylvester Stallone turning his cap in that armwrestling movie, or Clark Kent ditching his glasses. Think of the showdown as the final tournament match of a semi-final where JD already made it through, and this determines who gets to likewise step up to the big stage.

As an addendum, if you're a scrub and up to learn to work it like May J Lee and make choreography that pierces heaven like May J Lee can --leaving viewers feeling like they're partying with angels like May J Lee-- why not start to get taught, by a bona fide deity, no less. So flashy.

My OP features Mina Myoung and Koosung, with Chae Wani making an appearance in the center of the 3rd lineup.
Similar to the legendary Bisu vs Jaedong match on Colosseum, that had everything from excellent early zealot vs ling microbattles, expansion denial with reaverlots while keeping tabs on the armada, Jaedong's hydras constantly gloving Bisu's units, then lurker drops, glimpses of Best flirting with Afrotoss wtf, stormplars morphing into archons and snowball-advancing, this choreography and delivery made me happy to watch objectively fine and non-stop entertainment.

Both JD & Bisu and Mina & Koosung made the BeSt of it, engaging and leaning on each other. Seeking maximum injectability of their versatile skill, mercurial energy discharge, style and map/music synergy.
Chae's sexiness reigned and her expression owned throughout, even as she rolled up and puffed on the encore as confidently as JD did on Bisu's first zealot and smoked one of the early corsair's shields.
