by the way who IS the worst progamer ?
SDM and tasteless talked about this on a cast, it was a korean progammer that had the highest APM, like 400-500.

SDM reacted be it over the top or not but that was a definitely a long time coming. You could feel his frustration and anger. | ||

I'd say ToSsGirl, if we only consider active players There may be some recently-licensed B-teamer who is worse, but I highly doubt it. Tossgirl has been losing to foreigners consistently for some time now, and she got absolutely destroyed by IdrA at ESWC. | ||

Integra, I think the fact you're missing is that having a progamer license is not the same as being on a professional gaming team. There are many courage winners (with pro licenses) who are never drafted by teams, and many B-team players or practice partners who don't have progamer licenses. | ||

Then what are pro-licenses for if you still can make it as a professional player without one? | ||

I think the way it works is like this: you can become a professional player on a pro team without winning courage, but winning courage definitely increases your chances of getting on a pro team. | ||

What the two posters above me have said: you can be on a progaming team, but you can't "make it" - you still need a license to play in KeSPA-sanctioned tournaments (PL, OSL, MSL). To be honest though, I don't understand the point of licenses whatsoever. Since teams can give them out they don't really impede the progress of new players (if a player is good enough, his team will give him a license) but as far as I can tell they're just more useless KeSPA-induced red tape. They're obviously not useful as signals of talent, because Courage winners often do not get drafted. | ||

I believe Idra got one from estro when he & SDM were both part of that team. Yep, this is right. For more information on Courage and progaming licenses, I recommend watching Artosis's coverage of the rookie draft. It's long (and boring in parts), but a really interesting look at some of the nuts and bolts of the Korean proscene. Here's the video: http://www.scforall.com/sctv/sc_tv01.asp?mNum=s03&movNum=259 | ||
