Because they practice for specific games and don't want their strategies leaked.

For instance, I have seen both Memory and Nada pull off a fake fake double (which glass is the wine in, mr sicilian?)
Hiding the 2nd factory, with the 1 tank+5 marines-> vult w/ mines looking like it's going to be a 1 fact expand, when in reality it is going to be more like a Joyo.

If you practiced a bunch with people who were also friends w/ the person you're going to be playing, you could be meta-gamed differently. It would be less like "Well, Nada likes to feign a move out and expand behind it" which made it a great play, or Memory proxying his 2nd factory vs Bisu at 12 oclock, and more like "he was practicing faking this in practice games". You don't want that.

the change in practice partners won't change much. I mean look at the evidence.

jaedong ALWAYS had shitty practice partners for all MUs, yet he has been the best zerg player around for 4 years now.

every time a big player trade happens, people always hype it up like "omg now action is on KT he will have the best zvt ever!" but it never actually changes much. you also got things like when FBH was on KHAN: He had the 2 best PvTers EVER to practice with but his TvP always sorta sucked (and then he went to ACE and his TvP got good WTF). the biggest change will probably just be in team atmosphere, as all 3 ace players (sea/baby/jaedong) no longer have such a huge burden on them to perform well in PL, which should lead to better results.

The last thing I read from maps was Bisu complaining they were imba for P and that it would be hard to win games as P etc etc etc.

I dunno...

I like the players in the team, but it just seem so cheap for KeSPA to assemble a dream team on equal or higher tier than KT, CJ and SKT, while Khan, STX and Woongjin pretty much got shafted again. KeSPA wants the hype of a dream team, but they need to look at their competition and examine how sustainable it is when 5 team disbanded in the last five years, all of which were underperforming teams like ... Khan, STX and Woongjin (gasp).

Sorry guys, I fucking hate KeSPA (even though it doesn't matter since they control BW ~.~)

I hate to say this, but i think this new team really are the favorites for the proleague this time. even though they haven't been together for long, i think they will perform really well. but KT are the champs and they will be even stronger this time with the additions of mind and wooki. also CJ has effort returning from retirement. overall this could be the best and most exciting proleague season ever... can't wait for the games to begin.

It was also Stork and Jangbi and a few other protosses too wasn't it, not just Bisu

And to add that perhaps some practice partners are better with delivering certain style you expect your opponents to have. Even though they maybe bad Proleague players but they might be good practice partners.

You also have to think about this: In order to get a new sponsor for this team, it needs to be successful and attractive. Like you yourself asked, who would want to sponsor an underperforming team? They're just doing whatever they can to make sure an 8-team league can happen (which is something that benefits all the teams by maintaining interest in BW itself).

And nobody got shafted. It's not KeSPA's responsibility to make sure teams are balanced. It's not like they're going to go, "oh look, STX hasn't been doing well this year, let's give them Sea because we don't want them to disband." Teams get who they can afford. If any of the other teams were willing to dish out 200 grand a year for Jaedong, they could have done it in 09 when he was FA. All of the other players who weren't on reserve (and there were quite a few decent ones) were open to all the teams to bid on. This just means that those teams weren't willing to spend money on those players, and that has nothing to do with KeSPA as a whole, but only the sponsors individually.

idk, all 3 of those teams made play-offs last year and with the exception of possibly STX, none of them got any weaker. If you don't spend as much as SKT or KT surely your expectations aren't as high and so I wouldn't say they are underperforming.

The teams that disbanded all had their own reasons and not all of them were due to performance
