Though translation is rough at best I wonder if that means we'll see some of the old-school players in this. Like oGs TOP has been streaming lately and I don't think he's participated in anything of note. Maybe we'll see InCa cheese the hell out of some people. But for such a low prize I doubt many would put any time if they don't actively play and want to continue a progamer career. | ||

Still good news though, also if it gains popularity here there might be an english stream some day I hope. I wasn't sure if it is super relevant, which is why I only posted it on Reddit and not on TL, I'll do both next time I guess. Luckily these press announcements are so easy that even my bad korean skills are enough to read them. | ||

I think Top (and maybe couple other old faces who are ocasionally streaming) were all participating in WCS last 2 years, as in they failed to qualify but were signed up for qualifiers. | ||

Oh well Yeah, I would have preferred the league be open to players that meet criteria B and C but have been on Proleague rosters (though never fielded). Right now, this hurts those few players (Miso comes to mind, although he's no longer on KT) that are good enough to make the B-team on a KeSPA team but can't catch a break in individual leagues. | ||

Considering everyone is a fucking barcode these days, it's something that was needed. Anyway, don't expect names you'd recognize get second opportunities here - it's a Rookie League, not a 'recycle' league. Teams are well aware of current non-contracted players that have been around in the scene and there's a reason why they aren't on a team (hint: they are too old and aren't good enough). | ||

I'm not sure, but that's how it works in the NBA, right? The worst team gets to pick first, right? | ||

switching to actual thoughts seems okay. not sure how excited I am since the rules will probably make it full of people I've never heard of but the games should be interesting at least. also I'm curious as to if any old school players play | ||

Indeed. I´d love to see several B-teamers making a name for themself. The tournament itself is a good thing though. maybe it is rebroadcasted from replays by someone, taketv ? | ||

These necromancers in Korea have great power! Good to see this, I really love anything that brings in fresh blood(so the necromancers have the power, you know ) | ||
