He doesn't have to worry about anything but playing and being his best. He lives with his friends and gets to have fun in his free time with his friends. Player B gets 500 a month, works almost the same hours but lives with his family, and doesn't get much time to see his friends, since he has to travel across the city to see them. He also has to listen to his family complain about his career and try to force him into a career that is more "proper" and makes more money. Player A improves rapidly and always is up to date with the current meta game, and has people whom he can bounce ideas and practice with. Player B doesn't have many practice partners, and is unable to bounce ideas off of anyone. Player A has a good chance of mkaing it into Code A, which although not a lot of money, he can make a lot if he improves and does well. Player B has very little chance of doing well in or ourside Korea, since the competition is so swamped in foreign compeitions that being a Code A level player isn't going to get you very far. That is a lot more accurate than your tbh. Although Player B will benefit in the short term, in the long term he likely won't make as much money. Someone like revival though won't do well, since he isn't a top tier player, although he is extremely good, he has a wealth of competition. | ||

I would agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that in SC2 the difference in skill can be extremely small in addition to how easy it is for a less-skilled player to take games off a higher-skilled. Your explanation worked in Brood War... | ||

He was never their ace or star-player, but was there since forever and it will be extremely weird to see him with a new team. But gl, I guess. YEAH!!! I'm so sad with the news.. It's break my heart reading this........ | ||

This is even though Liquid already has three zergs, I still think he could be a valuable choice. Especially if Liquid plans on getting into GSTL... yea they definitely need another good zerg | ||
