Also, most of them retained their "glory" shape from 2010-2012. I've been constantly watching and playing bw since then and see no big difference neither in strategies or execution. I also believe that because everyone can learn from each other (beauty of streams) the level has increased as there are less unknowns for players in regards to both mechanics and strategy. | ||

They are right though (but I too disagree with the "entertainer" statement) since the lack of teams, regular tournaments etc makes them amateur players by default. The number of games played, the quality of those or the hours played each day don't matter in the distinction between a pro and amateur player. | ||

I think the next statement is supposed to be: 'Earning a living from doing something means you do it professionally'. Or was it 'you need to be paid by an organization to be called a professional'? Hm. Or 'you need to play in official events to be called a professional'? No.. no, that wasn't it.. Hm.. No idea, never been a part of that discussion before. Even TL itself recognized the specific scenes as there were the professional one (Kespa) and the amateur one (Afreeca). The latter had tournaments too and tipping has always been a thing, so nowadays it's just like it was back then. With the dissolution of the professional scene, the amateur one doesn't become the professional one just because the latter stopped existing. | ||

That doesn't mean those boxers are bad or don't put in serious work. Many amateur boxers make a living off boxing. | ||

Mod edits #2 and #3 are the newest ones that are of most relevance here. Searched for the important information on the bottom or at least the other information (the not so relevant anymore information) to be hidden (spoiler tag?). But yeah, was propably overexcited after the headline, saw the (outdated) mod edit and thought "awww crap!". | ||

But yeah, was propably overexcited after the headline, saw the (outdated) mod edit and thought "awww crap!". The sequence of mod edit #3, mod edit #2 and mod edit should have been simple enough to imply which one is the latest. Also, IIRC, when this thread was first posted, people were complaining about how the new information was at the bottom, so the latest mod edit was put on the top. edit - it is most probably the excitement. I mean who won't get this excited ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/R1CH/Happy2.gif) | ||
