EPTThe 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

of it, engaging and leaning on each other. Seeking maximum injectability of their versatile skill, mercurial energy discharge, style and map/music synergy.
