You really love to see the world burn right?
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

You need dominating players and personalities to grow a scene. The game itself will never bring the same level of interest because only players/hardcore fans will watch.

Tiger didn't make golf what it is by being popular. neither did Nadal and Fed dominate tennis because of their fanbase. They did it by being the best. how can you not see the difference? Stephano is NOT the best.


But he WAS. That's the point.

Also they did do it by being popular, but they were popular by being the best. This isn't always true. For example Jimmy White in snooker was huge but was runner up 6 times and never won.

Their popularity drove the growth of the game. That's the issue here. If you want to grow the scene and not just have the dregs of a scene followed by hardcore fans only you need these personalities. You need people who viewers only tune in to watch them. Its vital. It is the opposite of destroying the scene, it is what keeps it alive and grows it.

It blocks out opportunities for new blood, makes the game stale, and allows people who WERE dominant to keep playing in everything past their prime


It does not, new blood can become bigger than otherwise would ever be possible thanks to standing on the shoulders of giants. See: Rory McIlroy.

It doesn't make the game stale, that doesn't even make sense.

Also they can't play in everything past their prime, since they have to qualify for most big tournaments especially WCS the biggest of them all.

Your arguments are awful.

Look at what BW taught us.

Remind me who your favourite player is again
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.
