What really bugs me though is that they took down WC3 and SC but left WoW. Like wtf... omg such fail. actually i understand why they cut sc (no money in that) but wc3 with grubby and moon? left WoW? | ||

Don't blame the economy for this either: the current state of the economy only highlights which companies that are run poorly and inefficient. MYM would had folded anyway; the current state of the economy just sped up the process a bit. | ||

If you asking someone for a CS team. He will answer mibr, sk or mouz, mtw and after these teams MYM. And to change an image from a RTS team to a fps team needs time. Maybe the WC3 was too expensive. WC3 is dieing harder than SC. So this might be understandable. But why kick an almost for free (in comparison to cs/wc3) sc team with sc2 coming up. As I said its not easy to change an image it would be easier to wait for SC2 to rock foreign esport and stick with cs, dota and sc. | ||

I understand SC which doesn't bring almost any revenue in, but letting w3 team go just because they set up too high contracts is fucked up. Anyway, it is a disaster for foreign bw scene no it isnt lol its not like in korea where theyd be playing on tv and stuff and now all of a sudden they arent. All it was is a team dying. It happens and has happened all the time to all the money teams in bw. Theyll all join new teams and mym will be forgotten. | ||

I like your optimism Sadist  The reason why this seems horrible for me was MyM being the only sponsored team that really lasted, and you knew even with the problems they had like with chinese players that they would not go under or lose interest. Just look at how many sponsored multigaming teams took bw squad only to release it 3-8 months later for some stupid reason. It is going to be very hard to find a stable sponsored team like MyM... | ||

You cant really compare mym to the average money-team that enters the scene a couple of months and then disbands though. The team has been around for more than 3 years now. Thats as long as pG - a team that were also sponsoring their players with free trips to LANs(no salaries though). | ||

Last time you posted on the progamer time investment issue (Boxer/Savior interview) you said that apart from a couple of extremes like jaedong progmers in general don't practice nearly as much as we usually think? | ||

the teams still force them to practice 12 hours a day, but most goof off as much as possible beyond that. its the rare few who would rather practice than do almost anything else, giving up free time and what not. | ||
