Keep in mind, dropping from first to almost LAST in one swoop is a very very very huge blow for how much you're paying your main players! Agreed; sometimes a shake-up, even if unrelated, does well to create motivation and drive... I'm personally going to reserve judgement until I see how this works out. | ||

It won't change things all that much as well: T1 will have 2, maybe 3 (with In_Dove) players qualified for MSL, and more of them would most likely mean games between teammates. Btw, there's an interview about it here I think: http://www.fighterforum.com/news/news_read.asp?cat=INT&idx=15059 If any korean can help, <3. | ||

Really, all I see it is wasting an opportunity to get some good practice/a possible chance at winning. | ||

As a fan, the only possibilities I have are supporting them even more in their individual leagues, but stop supporting the team. This is the only way their sponsor SK Telecom will see that they are disapponiting the fans with their behavior and that fact of being a sponsor of such beloved players generates more popularity than winning every PL. Of course this doenst apply to me, as I am non-kor. Only korean fans will have the power to be heard. | ||

Ive always wondered this in the past, people bitch about progamers not having enough time or whatever, yet you have them "practicing" for 10 different things. I mean I think they should try to play in the other leagues and then if they get far prepare more, but if they feel liek practicing for 1 league specifically will help well more power to them. Its obvious shit like that goes down in other teams, I mean when one person is going to play in a final and a semifinal of anotehr league, rarely do they win both of the games, they usually suck ass in the semi final or final of t he "less" important league and do alot better in the "important" one. | ||

SK Telecom holds a powerful position in the E-sports committee, and has always wanted to expand the Pro League and reduce the importance of singles tournaments. MBCGame has stated that they view the claim that SKT1 wishes to fix their horrid pro league record as a convenient excuse to target and weaken the MBCGame survivor league by withdrawing their star players. MBCGame considers the survivor league to be an important part of a healthy singles competition, as the required 'second division' compared to the MSL 'first division.' | ||

Starcraft is inherently a 1v1 sport; its not a team sport like baseball or basketball and they can't make it as such. Plus all the legends of the past and the best moments in SC have been built from the individual Starleagues. I really hope they don't succeed with what they are trying to do. | ||

How did you come up with this theory? Hasn't the move towards team based SC like... made sponsorships, created TV channels, increased awareness, increased skill levels, and basically made SC into Korea's national sport? | ||
