This is probably partially true given that it is always better for the KeSPA players to say that they are focusing on the team leagues than the individual leagues because team moral is so important. But at the same time I am almost completely certain that the KeSPA players would do incredibly much better in GSL if they valued it a little bit higher and practiced more. And I don't think GSL is good for measuring their skill. In order to do that you'd have to watch PL.
Thx for the write up btw, just noticed it was you who did it.

I think OSL, traditionally being the individual tournament the KeSPA players value the highest, will be the best place to judge the skill of these players whenever it comes back around. It may be as you say, that they do not give GSL their everything, but Proleague is also very different considering the format and blind picks and, partly, different maps.
