I liked watching Shuttle's streams. It's unfortunate that there are so many good players, yet they can never really break into the top.
GL to Shuttle.

Too much progamers. When kespa came to sc2, player pool got double

what do you mean? there's: A- too many progamers. and B- mandatory military service is a thing in SK.

nothing about that statement is incorrect.

everyone needs to chill out ... there are waaaaaaaaaay too many SC2 players at the moment, it helps the scene to have retirements. eSF teams, KeSPA teams, and foreign teams cannot all fit into SC2, and all need to downsize.

tbh there are plenty tournaments (less so in Korea though), way too many to watch. and i don't like that too much.

what's not there though is stable payment from teams like in BW times, i assume. but yeah there are too many players too.

you're literally addressing nothing with those two statements. they mean less than nothing in this context (other than WCS, but he was still hardly in contention for any big prize or a legitimate payday). he was never going to win WCS. he knows that.

Even though a huge number of pro gamers are still active, this constant stream of retirements recently seems to be quite demoralizing for the community.

I guess it's time for the new players to a rise , I think they only "old school" hope we have is Flash JD, other than them, I think older players will retire

And here comes the next "sc2 is soooooooo bad thread. It killed bisu and so many other heros that were killed by david kim...".

The thruth will most likely be in the middle. You just cant do "pro" gaming forever if you arent at the very top to get a big contract, that happens in every sport. Ask college players. There is the military service in korea and that the sc2 player pool is just too big to support so many players on a market that is relatively isolated.

And some maybe dont like sc2.

It's very hard to take WCS seriously with byes all over the place due to players retiring, not getting visas, choosing different tournaments to attend and so on.

No it does not. Even bad basketball pro players find somewhere to play, and I am pretty sure they earn more than an average progamer. Even my little country Lithuania has two basketball leagues and majority of players here are objectively very bad compared to those "at the very top", i.e. NBA stars.

But I don't mean SC2 is necessarily bad by that. It's just not where money is at.
