just to note, most kpop is regurgitated stuff from 90s/2000s american pop crap.

The real reason AOA was invited.

The stakes don't really feel as high as they did in the Kespa era though... nowhere near the same emotional investment in the outcome as there used to be.

Who's emotional investment do you mean? Cuz back then if you didn't win the finals of a starleague you just continued playing on your team. Now if you don't win the finals it can potentially cost you your livelihood and you can go flip burgers. There's no safety net like that right now.

I really liked SSL11 and followed it pretty much all the way through, staying up late nights here on the Pacific Coast to watch the games live. Few complaints, other than I think Mind vs Hero would've been a better Finals.

It may not be a true OSL or an MSL, but it's pretty darn good and the best we have right now, and/or will have, unless Bliz re-releases BW in some sort of updated form and all the hypeuuuu truly comes back.

Be thankful for what you have.

And while the final was going on, a few players (including NaDa) were happily streaming... Weird...

NaDa was re-streaming the finals.

Zero was also re-streaming and commentating for a while before he switched to 2v2, possibly because of some balloons?

I rather see BW die than have DK/browder do their nonsense on this game.

Ah sorry about that! I shouldn't doubt the bonjwa passion!

I hope NaDa plays competitively again. Would be great for the scene!

BTW, where is Jangbi? Now that Protoss is at the brink of extinction (or so BD claims), we need a new hero from Aiur!

It's already a pseudo OSL. If KeSPA gets its shit together and recognizes BW again they'll bring back Starleague in no time.

Quite an irony considering Bisu does have a "safety net" and is probably the biggest of any of the current expros

In addition hes not the face of Kongdoo for nothing and OGN acceded to his request for winXP unlike EffOrt.

Sure but what's he going to do after he's done with Starcraft? His ~3000 viewers won't feed him for the rest of his life and I don't think he has the personality to get successful like YellOw. Unless he becomes a coach somewhere his flashy esports career will likely be of no use to him.

This IS a problem. With Hero and Effort, there are great Zergs, with Mind and Ssak there are great Terrans, but the Protoss bench is looking awfully thin at the top level with Bisu gone for two years to fight Kim Jong Un.

hey he just won 10 million won you know.
after the army pretty sure he can play into his 30s, just like NaDa/Iris is doing.
he already has marketing/modelling gigs and who knows what else arranged on Kongdoo TV
should be loaded by the time hes 40.
