It's weird though, in any other real sport, if you are going to be a pro, you have to sacrifice your 'freedom' too... | ||

They both admit that being in Kespa would give them more money and also more skill, but DRG doesn't want to sacrifice his 'freedom'.

Most pro sports that I know of you train until the early/lateish afternoon with your team mates, then go back to live in your own place, unless your coach is Felixstowe Magath Because of the diminishing returns and even counter-productive burnout issue that comes with overtraining in physical sports you don't have many who grind it out 8+ hours a day. | ||

The Kespa regime will make most players better, but equally can be a bit restrictive for certain personalities. I could see DRG benefitting from a stint in a Kespa house that isn't especially prolonged, for example Stardust developed a lot better macro play styles from his time with CJ. | ||

Kinda wish he would join Kespa and then just crush the competition...but he's more of a free spirit personality. | ||

I don't think they do though. From what we've heard (mostly from Park stay with EG-TL and then some foreigners stay in CJ house), they do 8 hours training with 1 hour for lunch, which is exactly the same I do in my job. All the 12/14/whatever hours training are players playing the game even outside of official training hours (when preparing for their individual matches for example). | ||

It's definitely a factor which non-KeSPA teams can't provide. This is why I think Fantasy will flop once he moves to a foreign team. I love him and all, but I think he's more of a product of an awesome coaching system (iloveoov et al) which is why he's been able to be so successful. Fantasy has accomplished pretty much zilch in SC2. At this point, a move to a foreign team couldn't hurt. The Kespa training regimen is great for those who need it, but motivation is an important factor as well. If getting to play in foreign tournaments provides more motivation than being under the Kespa whip, then moving to a foreign team is perfectly understandable. | ||

I blame JD's bad results from moving to EG instead of staying with KeSPA; his success always came from being one of the hardest working progamers, an environment that doesn't really exist in the western teams. Some gamers don't benefit from a less strict schedule. | ||

He may well benefit from going back now, but it is a complete myth that JD hasn't got results on a foreign team. | ||

It is just about what are you ready to sacrifice for the success of becoming better. | ||

Coaches also are a factor, but I think they can't do as much when it comes to improving the skill of the players, like they could do in BW. I guess if you feel capable of placing in the money at foreign events its tempting to leave Kespa even if its just for a short while. | ||
