Saying B-teamers is still the easiest way to summarize players like Hush, Impact, etc. though. Because what we associate with B-teamers is not just that they're often not used in team leagues but also that they struggle to break through in individual leagues. | ||

But even so, it still changes the situation in korea negatively. It being like that in the rest of the world might be true, but doesn't affect koreans at all. It will be harder to get better, the best players might be ok with streaming and living off earned money for a bit and other players might need to retire because they have no real chance to compete anymore. Especially now that you only have 32 players who get money from GSL. So yeah i expect quite a lot of retirements :/ | ||

It's pretty awesome Afreeca is expanding GSL even when most of the Korean teams disbanded. I'm looking forward to it. | ||

You're starting to sound like the guy running Sears and K-mart into the ground... "well the business is failing anyway, so let's cut costs where we can so we can hold onto it as long as possible to milk it..." The problem with getting rid of Code A is that is begins to erode the future player base that is necessary for a sustainable future. But you've already predicted doom for the future too...

We've got to have hope that Blizzard will make the game more enjoyable so it will attract more players and the scene can rebuild itself. Of course, if you incorrectly diagnose why SC2 is failing, you can't correct the course.

That is funny because I was thinking exactly the opposite, thinking this is some Jimmy would write | ||

Yeah, they're getting rid of some things. But they're also looking for new ideas so that's heart warming. | ||
