If you look at ladder, the top Korean GMs have about 500-600 games, with some as low as 400 and some as high as 800, but let's just use 600 in our calculations. Ladder season began at the start of this year if I'm not wrong, so it's gone on for about 80 days. That's about 7.5 ladder games a day. Players practice like 10 hours a day and should play in excess of 40 games, but let's just assume 40 to account for days lost to attending live matches. So using these roughly estimated figures, we realise that less than 20% of games played by KeSPA progamers are on ladder.

Besides, people will only play standard builds or non-competitive builds on ladder to avoid revealing their secrets.




KeSPA teams won't allow their players to stream as it's unprofessional. Do you see football players streaming their practice sessions? No, because it gives away their strategies. Even back in the BW days, only retired players would stream.

i dont find the link anymore, but in bw, a terran on kt once said in an interview that "whoever practices with flash inevitably starts slumping. last week, i played 70 tvt practice matches against flash. i won once."

Im super happy to hear flash being in a more bright and optimistic mood. some months ago, when he was giving those depri interviews, i really started to worry about a lingering retirement. but who am i kidding - immortals dont retire.
