what's the point of them? what do they do? if i were to choose a team captain, for example with CJ, i can see how i would choose Much - consistency, stability, with superior skill as well. i wouldn't know why savior wouldn't be the one, esp when he had his long streak going.

but still, does anyone know what captains do in a starcraft team?

Well, what do the captains in sports teams do? I figure the sc captains are just motivators, and people the coaches can count on to get everyone in shape.

Respect, seniority and psychological stability. In the case of teams that have more of a "no-name" player, it probably means they simply are better leaders. I would assume more of the top players are less capable or inclined to lead/nurture/mentor other players, because they're busy focusing on staying at the top of their game. Meanwhile players like Shinhwa (Lecaf captain last year, I think?) are more likely to understand the pains of the majority of the players, and thus are better suited to leading, aye?

Motivation, advice for the younger players, taking the captain's curse bullet for the team (in the case of KTF, where the captain has never performed well while holding the captaincy).
