As ever it’s a pity we don’t get to see such a talent on a big stage but even if he did play is it likely he shows his best at not only his first offline tourney but the biggest one of all? | ||

Sometimes I have these feelings too, but it's not like people complain when tournaments happen in China & so on. /shrug. The scene is just gonna have to suck it up and move on with this new normal. | ||

I think people very much would complain if the Chinese state was bankrolling tournaments and bought out the overall circuit organiser | ||

I am kinda sad for the protoss fans - spectators that we don’t get to see him play in the « real » conditions, having to handle the pressure of live events and still deliver good StarCraft is what makes the difference between good and great players imo | ||

Possibly doesn't feel he even needs the offline to think whether he's good or not. He doesn't owe an explanation whatsoever for his mindset, in the end it's on ESL who ultimately let him play. | ||

But I don’t think it at all means he owes it to anyone. Provided he’s not taking a ticket from another player and not going to events where replacements can’t be organised, but that has been mitigated for as long as I can recall. Whatever his reasons, they should be respected. Without speculating unduly I mean if you’re turning down 15k dollars just for showing up at the EWC, you probably have some damn fine reasons. | ||

Do you realize it's like that in the whole world, from sport to music to whatever else? Humans want to be entertained. | ||
