Also I think the code S players are lower not because of their personalitys but because of the amount they stream. Jjakji only streaming a few hours doesn't give them a chance to build up. | ||

Idra did not win anything recently, he often loses online matches and 6 pools 2 games in a row but when he plays offline events you never know what's going to happend. He still take games from Code A/S players and such. He is tough to rank but still is amongst top foreigners when he tries. | ||

and we can see that for streaming, personality (and sometimes trashtalking/bm) is more important than skill. | ||

Name 15 foreigners that can consistently take games and series off of players like Bomber, Jiakji etc, and tell me Idra is not one of them | ||

In LoL, for the longest time (before they moved into a Korean team house) I could log on pretty much any time of day and watch CLG play. They were dedicated and committed to providing stream content. Also about half the time (more with personalities like SV and less with some of the shy guys) they would not just be playing with music but also giving play by play commentary and Q+A. Sure they are doing it for the money but they also realize that being available personally makes people get emotionally invested. The closest thing SC2 has had to this was Destiny back when he was first starting and look how well it has worked for him. SC2 will never reach its full potential if we keep propagating the myth that all pros need to do is play good games. That's because teams aren't smart enough to provide consistent content. The only team I know who is willing to promote a regular webTV (not just basic streaming) is Millenium and it has been a success with over 50M single views on 3 channels (1. SC2 + various shows and tournaments 18.8M, 2. LoL 7.7M and 3. MMO / RPG 1.8M, rest is VOD) | ||
