That is true, but its really very very top heavy even for koreans. BW may only have ASL and other misc stuff here and there, but its much much better streaming wise. Doesn't really compare to SC2 korean scene really. | ||

Hes not really practicing, and he quit in first place because of pressure from streaming, and out of his own will, not because of outside factors such as army. very unlikely. but you should know this :p | ||

Like the speed with which he clicks units out of multiple gateways (Stork always claimed that the protoss with the best macro-management was JangBi, not BeSt, although I'd argue that BeSt's macro-management are a result of smart planning rather than raw mechanical prowess) was so smooth and efficient. If only JangBi was blessed with the mental fortitude and discipline of some of the other great protoss players throughout the years. It's truly a shame. | ||

I mean on getting through with no practice, we have recent example with Sea. Sea did make it into Wegl without practicing very much, but he still practiced once in a while. but ASL is gonna be tougher and since jangbi hasn't practiced for few months....doubt he will make it. Doesn't seem like he played very much if not all for few months. We saw him on FBH stream few months ago but that was it, and he said there he didn't play at all. | ||

I enjoyed the scrappiness of his games in SC2 but would be happy for him to go back and play BW. That reminds me, I need to get into BW more but no bloody time!. | ||

Can you explain this a little better please? I'm not sure if I got it right, are you saying he doesn't stream and doesn't practice because he got too much pressure from the viewers on his stream? Pressure to play more? to win ASL? | ||

Pressure to play more? to win ASL? he said he will return if he gets through ASL and qualifies for it but hes not practicing at all. Pressure to perform and keep up with streaming. Yea, pressure from viewers AND to pressure to play and improve. Jangbi isn't exactly the strongest guy mentally so he couldnt keep up with whole streaming stuff | ||

Yea, pressure from viewers AND to pressure to play and improve. Jangbi isn't exactly the strongest guy mentally so he couldnt keep up with whole streaming stuff This makes me so sad to read. Jangbi didnt have more usually than 50ish viewers on afreeca. We are talking the guy that singlehandedly saved the legacy of broodwar on the tail end of the kespa era (imagine no protoss starleague winners from 2009-2012). And what does he get in return? A cold shoulder from the community because he could not instantly get back to his former shape? Or because he wasnt 'entertaining' enough? What is the point? Do these people even care about BW and their players? | ||

Also SC2 got fuckton of changes, he won't even be able to catch up with meta. i heard that he prefered Starcraft 2 ,and since there is still lot of competition and fans ,i think any choice will be = good for him. | ||

This next ASL could be grim for P players. There aren't any good ones left. | ||

He only said he preffered SC2 when he was still on SKT. He would be literally throwing money away if he didn't come back to BW. He's going to be a baloon machine and I need his vods! | ||
