Hmm such as Hero 7-0 NASL, SlayerS beating both Mouz and Liquid, and EG using Puma in every ace match they find?

The delay (it's not even lag) exists but it is nothing like you're making it out to be.

ask any gamer, any real gamer. its doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning. point is, they could be playing for a peice of bubble gum, and anyone who is competitive enough to get to this level, would want to win. because they love to win.

Has Jinro performed up to par since his GSL glory days? That 1 tournament is the only reason he is famous today, and although he's a good player, he hasn't been successful in any major tournament since his ro8? showing in one of the earlier GSL's. Sorry but Jinro can't be compared to top level Korean players. The fact of the matter is that Ryung isn't that good. Sheth isn't awesome, but he is better than Ryung. Period.

2nd part. Ask any gamer, any real gamer. It doesn't matter whether you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning. But players don't play their best unless they are playing in a major tournament that they want to win for their own benefit. They are used to winning by now, and winning a small $500 prize pool (I'm very poor and would LOVE $500, but for the gamers who are actual pro gamers, $500 is nothing more than a week or 2's worth of outings) isn't worth giving it your all. You must be very new to eSports thinking top level players play even 75% at ALL events they play in. They'll only play 100% at 1-2 events per relatively long period of time. (in this case it would be during GSL and MLG, whenever they play those. And you can include other events like DreamHack and ROG/other international events that happen if you are talking about lesser pro players). Players like NesTea, and MVP will only play their best game during GSL and MLG.

The reason smaller tournaments (still big, but smaller in significance), such as the Chinese tournaments, the IPL, NASL, etc, are won by other players such as elfi, MKP, IdrA, SaSe, HuK, etc, are because the players that are better than them either don't play or don't give it their all. Sure those players are good (elfi MKP and IdrA are fkin awesome), but they aren't as good as MVP, NesTea.
