Yet i think partnership should be easier to make so that foreign team can send some of their player to proleague for a while. Like each Korean team can be partner with one foreign team for the season and when the foreign team feels like it they send a few players over. Now that would be cool. (kinda what we had with GSTL ) | ||

and thats not a "sc2 is dying" statement im just saying that no game lasts forever as an esport and we only have so much time to experiment with stuff like mixing koreans vs foreigners so honestly im all for it, it will be something fresh to watch if the foreign teams are able to participate i dont see any reason against this. griping about the purity of the competition is a really bizarre thing to do... high level play is a lot but it's not everything, esports is entertainment and it would provide great narratives | ||

In the end it's a big investment into probably getting your asss kicked and players sort of having to set aside their individual tournament ambitions. this is what im curious about, didnt eg tl basically say they didnt have the money to keep going and getting wrecked in korea for a few months? im curious how foreign teams would work out their participation, but if its viable id love to see it | ||

I don't think finishing below Prime is likely at all unless Prime adds to their lineup. If you just look at Prime's lineup there's Byun who's afk, Barbie, Creator, Kassia, Terror and State. Assuming a lineup of the last four mentioned I think all the teams above are more than capable of beating Prime. | ||

They've been a joke for a while. What makes you think Team Liquid or Acer can't beat Prime? On Team Liquid, there is Snute, TLO, Bunny, Mana, Taeja, and Hero. These 5 are easily more than capable of taking down whatever Prime throws at them. Though Taeja did say that he does not perform well in preparation type of tournaments, and he probably won't play much due to his wrists. | ||

Acer and Liquid would never be as fully commited to Proleague as Prime is and they would come into every match better prepared. Startale I suppose could do better, now that I really look at that team. | ||

But I'm thinking of a new possibility that would reside in a special round of one month where an international team (either an already established team or an all-star team) would be invited to fight the other Proleague teams but their results wouldn't matter for the final playoffs. Just for the show. | ||

If Kespa is willing to switch to a format that does not force foreigners to travel to Korea or even worse, stay there, I do not see why professionals such as Snute or TLO, not to mention Koreans such as HerO or Taeja wouldn't change their training schedules to include specific training against Kespa opponents and specific proleague preparation. Without that, there is just a disadvantage at which foreign teams shouldn't even join, because then it's really not going to be worth it. | ||

Sadly, I doubt the format of Proleague would change any and it won't be worth it for foreign teams. | ||
