Truth is sc2 is atm very very saturated and only very few can make money and in korea even less. Koreans mostly play and pratice for accomodation and food in teamhouse. not salary like foreigners so they basically make little to no money wich can be frustrating. | ||

I really think these retirements are going to continue/increase until we see more equitable prize distributions or a dominant proleague format. There's no arguing that 'mid tier' players retiring/switching games is good for the scene. The standard for results being 'place top4 in a tournament' is fucking awful when there aren't 300 tournaments. Even when there are so many tournaments, by and large it's the same people taking the top spots. It's kinda fucked up that the consistent RO16ers like inori struggling to make a living/find financial success =/ Really worried about long term growth if teams/tournaments don't adopt a more sustainable model that encourages growth of the scene/players, as well as the viewership. Even the tournaments that are doing it 'right' (WCS?) have first place making 10-15x than even the semifinalists. If prize pools are going to continue to be the main income for players, that really isn't going to work =/ | ||

But on the other side, its like the alcoholism. First you should know you have a problem, then you can identify where it can be better. But as i said, i agree with you guys, his post was not good, but i dont like "dont like it, so gtfo" posts either. | ||

Fortunately for them, they have international SC 2 to pick up the slack on a lot of the sponsorship and tournament $ that their own teams and leagues aren't able to provide. But how long is that going to last given the drop in SC 2 viewership across the world? | ||

If you actually arent a player/team who can make it top4 in each tournament they enter you simply cant/have very hard time sustain urself. From here you have to take it as a hobby not as actual job wich drops quality of the games and so on until we are back to cuasual gaming no progaming. GSTL semi just finished and the team that lost is getting 3k $ and the one advancing to finals is going to get 13k$ minimum.. | ||

Can't tell if stupid or trolling... either way gl inori on ur career switch hope everything works out. You need to work on your reading comprehension - "which is harder in other ways". You can be the best player in the world and not win tournaments (or even place top4) if you don't 'click' with your team, or you can be a top player who doesn't have a team when a big tournament comes around. Team games come with their share of different issues, and require a toolkit/skillset different from those in 1v1. But sure, go ahead and take him out of context to make some ridiculous point that supports your view of the world. You could work for fox! | ||
