Koreans are an extremely dominant force in SC2 right now, so its not like we have much room to disagree with them. | ||

Zenex alll started streaming pretty much in unison though, and there were some hints from the players about possible sponsorships for foreign tourneys. DRG's comment about pressure not to stream makes sense if SC2Con wants to make the possibility of foreign sponsorships less likely. | ||

You have to remember all he does on the stream is things he'd be doing anyways. Basically he's getting 15$/h for stuff he'd normally do without pay. | ||

I suppose you're right but what about what that guy said in the quote at the top of this reply? also ppl need to stop repeating the KRs stopped streaming cuz of gsl schedule, its not like i said that in the OP, or other ppl said that or anything right? | ||

If someone wants to stream then go ahead let him stream for god sake whether or not it is good for him. It doesnt hurt others. | ||

It also doesn't mean that people didn't derive information from him. When Koreans are spending 8+ hours a day doing intense training, every moment/day counts. And of course you are right that its not like every person who streams will get their ass kicked. Its just that it is, technically, less favorable than not streaming, from a competitors perspective, when ignoring money/sponsorship/etc. | ||

Yeah naturally progamers won't stream their custom games. But it doesn't mean laddering is pointless. White-Ra ladders a whole lot, with our without stream, he's always done that. A lot of the progamers utilize the ladder (more than people know I think) maybe not to bust out all their custom made strats, but to try new things, polish on their mechanics, get into funky situations, etc. So what you're seeing when progamers are laddering isn't "useless" it's still part of a routine they'd still be doing if they weren't streaming. | ||

It doesnt hurt others. SC2Con wants all their players doing as well as possible. If someone streams, they are not doing as well. You have to realize that Korean training is already optimized to such a high degree that things like streaming take away quite a bit. Its not like foreign training where you just ladder some, play some CGs, do what ever it feels like you should do. Going from "Absolutely intense and specific training for 8+ hours a day with team mates, going over strategies and drilling certain builds" to "streaming some ladder games on the NA server, doing a bunch of all-in easy builds against (by their standards) absolutely terrible players" is a pretty big difference. The entire philosophy behind Korean training is to optimize your training, your play, your mindset as much as possible. They didn't get to where they are now by having loose definitions of what "good enough" was. They optimize even the tiniest of details. | ||
