Also possible he was saying Taeja is the only stable Terran as TZ doesn't actually live in Korea permanently | ||

I thought of the energy requirement and extra vulnerability, too. Personally, I like the latter more. Maybe they can take extra damage while boosting or something. Also, +1 to scourge (or something similar). This man knows what he is talking about! Go Coach Park (and EG-TL)! | ||

Streaming makes the player more visible, brings in more fans for him and thus also increases the sponsor visibility. It makes sense. | ||

It's not that surprising, IdrA just said yesterday on Inside the Game that his contract is heavily based on streaming, if he went to Korea and could only stream for as long as Coach Park allows, he'd make maybe 2/3 of the salary he does now. They're pretty open about it, and I guess everyone pretty much knew or guessed that anyway. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + "To address this issue, we will be doing several things. First, we’ll be increasing our infrastructure budget operation-wide, which includes everything from our team house itself, to our ground transportation, to our player support – we’re going to allocate more resources and improve the entire operation, in every way we can, so that our players can minimize their distractions and put additional focus on their play in a more organized, structured environment. And secondly (and just as, if not more importantly), we’re going to make a big addition to our coaching staff by hiring a new Head Coach whom you’re all probably quite familiar with." This makes me think that in addition to improving the physical situation in the team house in Korea (which was horrible by all accounts that I've actually heard or read) they are also going to be lightening up on the streaming obligations for their players in Korea, Park probably sat EG down and told them that it was unrealistic to expect large amounts of streaming AND good proleague results (or any other major tournament for that matter). | ||

Kespa teams are heavly sponsored, they can take public transportation to the studio for Proleague and other Korean leagues, and so on. They can focus more on practicing because they have less overhead and no start up costs. If all Esports in NA took place in one city, things would be a lot cheaper for the teams. | ||
