Oh JD is going to the army in a week or 2 already? I mean it was "long overdue" but I didn't know he already announced it Looking at the history of the event, they have a habit of inviting savior and I remember a lot of drama when he won some 2v2 tourney in China a while back. Honestly, if they can't get JD they might as well get savior over zero.
Huh? I don't see how that could be good, as the others wouldn't be happy with that choice. Zero is a clear and good choice for a JD replacement, he's on fire right now.

Literally no (ex-)progamer would accept an invite to an event that savior was attending.

Pretty much.
Anyway this isn't about him in any way.
China BW ftw! It will be amazing.

I guess those don't count as (ex-)progamer? I don't even care who they invite, I just think if you have went out of your way to get Kespa to call in, because you keep inviting the worst thing to ever happen to BW (I guess besides the SC2 switch and Blizz suing Kespa/OGN/MBC), you might as well keep doing it.

And it was not without consequence:

Theres a reason why when savior is invited only 1 A class pro showed up (Movie), while when he is not invited the cream of the crop shows up. Most pros will not want to play savior even in a ladder game, I have seen bisu leave his ladder game after his opponent revealed he was savior.

Sad to hear. When did the scene fade? Do any of the old legends still play? Like Pj, Lx, F91, Super, ChinaTTTT, hpq, Phoenix, Rushgoon, LoveTT, Eva, Beckham etc?

Well I guess it's a bonus there's still a scene in China? Not really sure what was the size of it before.
