That isn't necessarily true. If you play against someone who is too good, you might discard a valid strategy because that particular player defended it(and the strategy wasn't well developed at the moment). You also get a much smaller subset of styles to practice against. I am, however, very excited to see this team tear through Proleague! I think that is more of a problem of having a smaller amount of people to practice with and not the quality of each person. Overall I think we would see a way better Jaedong in ZvP if he was able to practice against Bisu and reach a modest 50%. Winning 50% of his games against the best PvZ player in the history of BW should almost always be more effective practice than against players who cannot come close to pushing Jaedong to his limits. If having good practice partners was that much of an advantage, everyone on KT would be the godliest vT players ever. Not so. ACE has always suffered from not having enough players to practice effectively, I feel this team will have the same problem until they expand their roster (I guess they will do so when they find a sponsor?) Valid point, but how many different things do progamers need to practice for there to be a huge advantage with a much larger team? I could see instances where they won't be able to practice a matchup because another player is tied up, but there are still many practice partners out there to train online. Idra himself said the majority of practice time in BW was to maintain mechanics while he was in the CJ house. I don't see Jaedong benefiting more from playing a b-team zerg over Hydra and against a player like Hydra his micro is always going to be pushed to the limit, making the practice valuable as it forces you to get better. Against a player like BaBy Jaedong is going to develop better multi-tasking skills to defend drops and such; he isn't as likely to hone those skills playing Bee. There is a reason why every foreign organizations are sending many foreigners over to Korea in SC2. The environment and competition are so much better than elsewhere that is does make a huge difference. Pretty much every major successful foreigner has been to Korea to train at one point or another.
When you have 8 players on your team and 6 of them are being sent out for Proleague each match, then the players will not be able to spend as much time practicing for their own match because they'll have to also help their teammates prepare. OSL matches would just complicate things even further. They need to have practice partners/B-teamers so they can prepare properly for their own matchups.
Besides that, I think the idea that top level practice partners help you get better doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Why did Jaedong suck at ZvP when he first emerged if the best player on his team was Anytime? How did he develop godlike ZvZ practicing against ToSky and ShinHwa? Why did FBH suck so hard at TvP when he was on the same team as Stork and Jangbi, and conversely why were they both so amazing at PvT? Why did Flash develop such strong TvT when his best Terran teammates were Sair and Hery?
