Send him to any other Kespa team and he's just as good. And what have you seen of CJ? They have all maintained there respective levels of skill, except SkyHigh who went up for a little bit. Hydra improved after leaving. Gumiho improved after leaving. They basically chased effort out of the scene. Compared to say what KT, JA, SKT, KHAN they havent really shown any kind of skill in increasing their players overall skills. But but Sora 
Sora is exactly the same since he joined. Can only perform when the letters WCG form n anagram.
As for ByuL, he is the anomaly. Which makes me think any other Kespa team could have done to ByuL what CJ did.

If you're not the best, you're shit. If you're not directly trying to beat the best of the best, you can't be good. If you don't spend 12h a day in front of a computer and don't sacrifice your social life in order to attempt a hazardous career in pro eSports, you're a lazy fucker.
I mean it's pretty much that way in every competitive community be it esports, regular sports, or whatever. If you ain't first, you're last

Rain got better results upon leaving SKT. PartinG too. MyunGsik too. I can't think of players that left Khan or JAGW recently. Hydra made 17th-24th of Code S twice while on CJ. What makes you tell he would do it now? I'll give you GuMiho, he should have been used by CJ.

I honestly thought Byul seemed really good even when he was on IM. I get why people don't like to listen to me say things like "his play was solid" or "he had potential" without the results to back it up but I honestly think he was building towards his current skill level even back on IM.

Yeah and all that's horrible for physical and mental health which I thought came across nicely in the SC2 VN. Koreans in team houses don't just practice more, they have people helping them get a good diet and exercise and the team house provides social interaction.

Fun fact:
Out of the 2 protoss's that left SKT from the 3 big Protoss's in SKT (Rain, PartinG and Classic)
Rain and PartinG won 2+ tournaments in half a year, since their (highest) peak in 2012 and has finally reached the GSL finals while being on a foreign team AFTER LEAVING SKT, say much about skill? (ALSO, Rain might still reach SSL finals)

there are people with that attitude in everything, sure, but it's still absurd. i mean if you're a competitor and you use that attitude to further your own success fine, but fans trash talking players because they're not all god prodigies and want to find things they can win is just douchey

That's not false. There was some hype when he joined CJ because of his good results in PL on IM and all that. Obviously lots of people went the "overhyped player" route. Well, look at where he is now d:
