I honestly think there are too few professional strata for this game. In football, there's no shame in lower league teams being unable to take down Man U or Chelsea. Similarly, there are players who can deliver nail-biting, entertaining pro-level SC2 games without being Flash or Life. In this series, Huk was *a little bit* behind MKP, and got stomped for it. There would be something wrong if every football team was judged on its ability to win the Champion's League.

I suppose the problem with esports as a whole is that there are few reasons to get behind any given player. The very fact it's net-based precludes the regional grass-roots support terrestrial sports receive. Personally, I get a kick out of TL players winning, Stephano because I get him, and Flash vs Life because it's like Morpheus vs Neo - I don't actually care who wins. It's tough for someone who's merely better than 99% of the people who play the game to gather a following.
