With one ASL, one KSL, and an ASL silver, isn't he tied with Last for third/fourth most accomplished player of the ASL/KSL period? (Behind Flash and Zero and ahead of Larva --- and that's being kind to Zero, rating one ASL gold over one KSL gold + one ASL silver, after the first ASL gold cancels out on both sides of the equation). In terms of tournament placements, he's the most accomplished Protoss player since the ASL has existed. I didn't start out as a big Rain fan, but his trophy collection speaks for itself and his games have really impressed me. | ||

The mandatory service length was only reduced when they saw Flash was going to have to join. | ||

Yep. Impressive run until he lost pretty decisively to Soma. As far as Rain goes, he's certainly an impressive player, but if he does participate his lackluster PvT is really going to hurt him. | ||

Starcast TV already announced: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxzyPRd2NmMAs4fHMckOjIJe1DJVz-yUxO They also set up a patreon for Scan to solo cast it live, but I'm afraid the target of 2000$ per month wont be achieved. The foreign community is piss poor when it comes to crowdfunding. | ||

The foreign community is piss poor when it comes to crowdfunding. Patreon goals are generally not realistic when there are only so many foreign BW fans and one could argue that a large sum of the money that's there for patreon is going to the wrong cause, then again one can also easily counter-argue that that money comes from supporters that aren't really BW fans. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Let's not forgot this community was and is mostly run on efforts by volunteers. I think we need to be careful about not guilt tripping what's left of our community for not wanting to or even being able to support (more) patreons. I, for one, am a bit sick of seeing patreons pop up all the time when lots of volunteers behind the scenes aint got salary for years and still aint getting even a dime for it. If it is any gauge: BSL has been getting around 500-700 live viewers recently and as of now has 119 patreon supporters. If I were to drop $5 on the patreon for Scan, there will still need to be another 400 people like me doing that. Going by above's gauge, I'd be throwing my money at a goal that can't be reached. And I think we can all agree while $5 is not much or something significant to lose we'd rather use it on something else than essentially waste it. That makes sense, right? Also if there are no English casts. We can still watch the Korean cast, for free, like all BW fans did back in the day. So while it's nice to have an English cast available to view top BW content, it is a luxury at best. And luxuries are always first to go in any healthy financial plan. TL;DR: The active BW community is rather small and I think it is unfair to use Tastosis' patreon as a gauge of what's possible for BW and what's not. | ||
