What incentive would IdrA have to respond to Jinro about an issue he is having in TvZ? I just don't know why any of the top pros would want to use the forum. If they want to collaborate they're all on strong teams and have 50 real ID pros already on their BNet dashboard that they could just as easily hash out an idea or strategy with. There is zero reason for any of them to post on a forum about strategy. | ||

I would read that every day instead of the random low masters guy talking in an authoritative manner about god knows what. Hey, aren't you the guy who made/dramatically improved BW chart? Always wanted to thank you for the work. | ||

As a mid-masters player who sucks balls (and is bad at Starcraft2 too :D :D :D) I want to basically post something, like a question or a statement in the expressed hope that I can be told clearly why it isn't correct. If it is correct, as a crappy player, I still need confirmation from better players because there is no other way to really tell, but either way, there's nothing in it for pros really. I believe it just boils down to there being other avenues for pros to pursue strategy discussions that are better than the TL.net strategy forum. | ||

From ANY hobby (RC, Paintball, Motorsports, Bodybuilding, etc), "is posting on the forums worth it?" Nope. halo pros constantly post in mlg forum threads, but i guess that community is still pretty small. though it is a bit startling. at one point i made an argument about a certain player (heinz) being arguably overrated in 2009, and then heinz and one of his teammates jumped in the thread and wrote extensive (respectful) responses, lol ... | ||

All these different leagues are just ways to boost peoplea ego. ICCup was never lime that and instead fostered a competitive for a game that required significabtly more dedication to' succeed. The ego boost allows peoplea with a pope understansinf of the game to' post thinking they know something when they font. Plus its harder to' moderate all trolls with a larger audience. My two cents. | ||

Especially if they are passionate about their job & their game? IMHO they even have more reasons to lurk than any of us amateurs : - chasing Streams of competitors - taking a quick look at the so called "New revolutionary XvX build" in the Strat section - following popularities on Fan Clubs - following the latest rants, controversies that often are "State of the Game" material. - keeping tabs on tourney's announcements, results & schedules stuff like that. "Being up-to-date on what's happening out there in the Starcraft's world" may be also an important of part of the "professional metagame". For a lot of them, I am pretty sure that Tl is their bowser's homepage  | ||
