Stupid question but did Soulkey ever get a special trophy for winning 3-in-a-row or 4-in-a-row? (Or 3/4 titles in total).
I thought he had to get a golden mouse type of thing but there's no image or info on the net about this.
He got an special trophy. Not as cool as the golden mouse :D

Wow what an awkward title. Thanks eon for posting. It is reassuring to see this as I was flabbergasted that they would forget about this achievement.
I'm looking forward to a contested 5th in a row for Soulkey and then I hope he gets something special again.

seems that rain and flash not playing this season?

How comes that these old stars like effort, larva,even Rain, Soma, Flash? players like those get into ASl first try after time.
while players like the scans, and even great consistent players like action hero and queen, Stork,
Etc. need multiple tries or cant make it one season, while literally been ro 4 or winners or beeing top active, on the meta game, all the time.

To be fair, both Larva and Effort needed to go into second day this time. So did Rain before. Soma practically took no break during his military service because he got to stay at home, so there's no form loss. Flash is Flash.
But yeah, the gap between ex-Kespa pros and amateurs is enormous. It seems like if you weren't trained in pro houses during Kespa, you can never make up that gap on your own.

Not true that you cant make it, but the chanes are definitely lower. SoMa iirc was not on a team. He had a license but didnt make it onto a team. Scan has no license and comes from a pure amateur background. Brain made it in and had license as toss and terran, but no team. ZeloT had no license and no team. Ssinz had no license and no team. Same for Ivory and Ddasik, Byul and Tinkle. Taenggu also no license and no team. The current era lacks talent cultivation. Aspiring players have to train themselves to reach higher levels, much harder than someone showing you how to do it step by step.

But i remember seeing some match from scan from the kespa era…
I think zelot and soma may be the most impressive ones. Somas case seems kind of special…
And zelot is a but like the average joe case methode.,.

Scan never played Kespa. He was in America at that time.

soma - trainee with stx soul, didn't become pro in order to pursue higher education
scan - trainee with sk telecom, didn't become pro because he moved to the us
brain - trainee with cj entus, didn't become pro because his parents didn't want him to become one
so while you can say that a lot of these players weren't "pro", they were talented enough to have the eyes of the kespa teams on them.
