He needs to switch the server, not his house. I think the whole "Lair" thing is really good, but the low quality training at the NA server is the real "curse". | ||

Thts the excuse for lacking in practise and mindset Makes sense. Anytime I've seen a Korean player enter the NA server they immediately shoot up to the top of Grandmasters. I wonder what they do specifically?? Do they just play endless games against each other or do they strategize their practice regiments? What's the missing ingredient? | ||

No one really knows why that is but if it does have something to do with EG's practice format then perhaps Stephano's unique practice regimen will keep him at the top. I believe it is an incentive problem. It is easy to understand that EG has the money to pay their star SC2 players a livable income. When you're already making $40k+++ a year you don't really have to rely on tournament winnings to sustain a comfortable lifestyle. If someone like Stephano, who is rumored to be making six-figures, it is hard to justify putting in so much effort into winning a $5k tournament when you make more than that a month. Of course no player would outright admit this, but I'm sure there is some meta-analysis in some scientific journal correlating this phenomena. | ||
