That said, even as a pro, very, very, very few of them actually get to the status of Boxer. On top of that, it only really matters in Korea since pro SC players are akin to professional football (soccer) players there. WhiteRa surely isn't a guy that every Ukrainian person knows and loves and looks up to. | ||

Prejuduice? hell coach the same way you coach SC2 you point of aprts of a palyers play you think he should improve, maybe a player is too defensive or too offensive maybe he should use a different hero or get a different item build you set your team up with practice schedules and watch them to make sure they follow through set up drills and practices show them areas they need to improve teach them to handle stress at critical moments show them ways to widen there awareness and make sure there in good physical shape | ||

GL in his new endeavor, he can excel easily at MOBAs as he did in RTS. If anything, I'd say he was slightly bored with SC2, not that it was in any way "difficult" for him. | ||

SC2 viewerbase is growing fast, not jsut people who play the game but alot of people who dont, youll never walk into a bar and see LoL on the screen anytime soon | ||

Polt example is kind miracle, but I think part of it is "luck". Besides, sc2 scene doesn't get many sponsors lately. And viewership is kinda going down compared to other e-sport games. That's why you see PTV tournament. Coaching/commentating might be good, but there are already people doing it. All in all, I don't think there are any incentives to stay in sc2 if you don't have enough time or you're super talented. | ||

For the larger majority, sc2 is a dead end profession, mainly because there is so little money to be had for those who aren't at the very top. You don't seem to understand that for Korean pro gaming teams, there isn't a salary. They get food, accommodation, and a place to practice. That's it. They don't get money, they don't get education, they don't get anything that will give them any kind of leg up when their starcraft career is over. | ||

I doubt SC2 will catch up anytime soon. Blizzard had its chance, but they crushed it (esp. in Korea). | ||
