Team league could have a broadcasted draft, no team stacking allowed, and there are spots for rookie players. It could be a way to give up and coming players regular experience.

This will probably be a new (hype?) type of ATB tournament that can be run concurrently to the ASL and that uses the ASL for seeds and drafts.

I'm thinking more of a GSTL-style eight team tournament and not a weekly Proleague.

I hope they figure out a way to prevent the mirror matchup fest that Proleague became.

I think you're the only one who even plays the game and it'd be like having a tournament to find out who's tallest dwarf.

Sure there's a risk for this.

But I think your take on it is wrong.

Humans are very simple us and them creatures when it comes to teams.
Just think of a rocket league game. In que for a 3v3. U get 5 other players around the same rank. Then they're splitinto 2 teams. And suddenly your opponent trying to score against you is your enemy, and you/your teammates bm them. And your teammate scoring is cheered for. Or you/they bm your own team out of dissapointment in their part in your teams performance.

Just look at Larvas joker video. They randomize teams, play a long bo 15 game series, really cheer for those in their team. Prices, glory, fear of defeat. There's a lot of simple incentives to engage people in teams.

How exactly it's done in this era I don't know but I don't think it'd be a hollow concept, don't think it's difficult.

Back in kespa days they'd practice with people from other teams before starleague games anyway.

I'm not saying they can't form teams. I'm saying how can it possibly be a competition between teams when there is nothing to bind the teams together as the teams are not a distinct entity? You can throw a bunch of players into separate teams, but when prize money is at stake, who wouldn't want to be on Flash's team? If there's no prize money, where is the incentive for the players to play their best? Sure, you can cheer for a team, play for the team you are on, but that doesn't change that it's no longer a competition if no prize money is involved, or that it is more chance of how the teams are made that determines who gets the money. If there is no money, you are asking players to adhere to a schedule and play for free. If there is money, how can it be fair to determine the prize of slapdash put together teams? How would those issues be addressed?


Well They'd play it, they wouldn't leave the competition because of unfair teams. And Afreeca would want a good competiyion for the viewers. What signs from the history of korean e-sports point towards them not caring? It's not like they give up on ASL because of Flash. And it's not even clear wether it'd be an all kill league or a regular 5 match format. In old teams they had snipers. People practicing one specific match up, some where even just known to be experts on one specific map.

And no pricemoney? This is just a rumor, I saw nothing about no pricemoney. If they start a team league there'll likely be pricemoney.

Pro league was always the most valued competition among koreans. Unless their culture somehow has been radically individualised over the last 8 years they'll still care about it even if it's a different kind of team league.

I think we've painted very different pictures of what it'd likely look like if they follow through with it.

You are saying that the players would be happy to play for free and play at their best because of their nostalgia for the kespa period of broodwar. The players will not share your nostalgia for the kespa period of bw. Just about every player say they are much happier now.

Not what I'm saying no. One of my examples was specifically about how these free streaming players teambattled on their own, really cared about it. The teams had no sponsors, no names, no kespa. But they cared and had fun. People are generally social, like competing together towards a common goal.

Yeah Kespa ran pro league, the players were not free then.
But is Kespa running this one? No and we still don't know how it'd take shape or even if it will happen. The players don't have to have any nostalgia about Kespa days. It's irrelevant, as Afreeca runs this. Btw since ur making assumptions on my view on Kespa. I can tell u my view on it. I'm nostalgic about pro league, not kespa in itself. I've compared it to slavery. But I also see functions in it as necessary for a big team league. But that's a whole other discussion.

Your arguments against a teamleague are applicable on ASL as well. Most people don't qualify. Lots of people go for the amateur tournament. No money except for the winner and top 16 or 8 afaik. Yet the players care, practice, come back for the next one. And again. How can u be so sure there's no money in it at all? No pricemoney, only slavery contracts awaits?

Based on the very small info we've gotten we all vision different scenarios of how a potential teamleague would play out. I think you paint a pessimistic picture of it, that it misses out on other possible ways it could happen.

History doesn't have to repeat itself, Afreeca should be judged on what Afreeca does, not on what Kespa did.
Not my chair. Not my problem. That's what I say
