Best hope he will be ok. Hopefully. I'm happy KT win but quite worried after watch him lost. Hope people don't critics him too much. Well, progamer are human like us too. Please because I'm afraid he will slump again. Please don't.

My two cents on this:

Proleague is such a big marketing venue for the companies that sponsor the teams, they don't really care that much for the price itself, but the value they can get from their team performing well. SC2 doesn't have a big team scene and with such sponsors and this is why they need to attract players and teams to participate in their league, so that THEIR league will get the best players/teams and the majority of viewers.

In BW you have KeSPA, who organizes everything and just looks for sponsors to give extra cash, but they advertise the sponsor so much that it all pays out in the end.

Other thing is that here players have set salaries and increases are given based on performance in proleague if you want an increased pay from the team, while in SC2 no billion dollar company has yet sponsored a team (correct me if Im wrong), thus teams need the money.

It was the case with GOMTV Intel Classic, they wanted players to participate, that would give them the viewers and eventually it would be another big league that GOM could profit from (many viewers, ad venue, etc). It was not considered an "official" league because KeSPA didn't take it into consideration and they had to give the biggest prize pool, if we can trust Tasteless, in a single league. But since it was not a KeSPA thing, even if you won it, you didn't get any KeSPA points, so players focused on things that mattered, and personal sponsors were not amused by rookies beating pros, who went there to see if they can win without practising. Unlike the OSL/MSL where you get personal sponsorship.

The thing that is keeping STX league is that it is a team league and big companies that sponsor the teams benefit more from it.

TL;DR: It is a big advertisement for the sponsoring companies and they don't care for the prize pool as much as the advertisement they will get.



He said it better

I remember just starting to play BW and a friend showing me the GSI finals between Flash and Stork and me going "wow this guy is amazing". I've been hooked on BW progaming since. So awesome to see KT winning another finals with Flash playing an epic ace match.

I wont hide behind coach Park for this, we should've won in 4 or 5 games but its fucking illogical to play best over bisu in the biggest showdown for the entire year, having in mind bisu is the guy who worked his ass for the whole team to make it to the finals to begin with.

oh and guess what, bisu is fucking undefeated against terran in regular Pl format for 4 rounds. yet coach park went for BeSt who is just statistical improbability against flash and a gimmick

I think Flash lost his macro games to Best earlier this year on purpose to trick the SKT coach into sending some easy food in the ace match of the grand final.

even so it was a stupid move that aside what you said denied every BW fan alive around the world from the dream Finale of the most likely last PL ever. That was as stupid as playing Casy vs Jaedong just because Casy is like 4-1 head-to-head vs JD
