i think that's too high of a load for a progamer, plus too many conflicting distractions. too bad that proleague is kespa's favorite little pet, because i think it's the most taxing and least prestigious event out of the 3 and i'd like to see proleague get cut so that the pros can focus on the 3 individual leagues. will never happen though, proleague is so damn popular among the bosses  edit: what do they care, they aren't the ones that have to do the work | ||

Not to mention very few but the best make it past the early stages in these tournaments (not pro league) But hey, more starcraft is a good thing no? | ||

Samsung sponsoring GomTV, Samsung fighting SKT over KeSPA, KeSPA not sanctioning GomTV..... It's pretty goddamn obvious there's a good amount of drama going on behind the scenes, so you want to give us some tidbits, off the record? | ||
