This is really sad news for the scene and quite worrying. There is a severe lack of new players coming into the scene that needs to be addressed. I know SCBW is picking up steam again which is great, but it feels like SC2 in Korea is no longer popular at all. At this rate I can't see there being many progamers left after 5 years or so.

He's still quite young also, didn't have much opportunities to post-pone it I guess.
gl for the future to him.

I feel like the whole WCS Korean region is disappearing and it is just a matter of time. Isn't Blizzard aware of that?

What do you want them to do? Pay new people in Korea to start playing SC2? Dispose of North Korea so nobody will ever have to retire to do military service again? Force everyone who left SC2 for another Blizzard game to return?

There's only so much they can do.


You already listed three solutions.
They could step up their game!

I dont think top 16 players will leave in the near future, until the blizzcon 2018 at least

And top 16 is what we call KR, not players like ragnarok/departure

But ye it's always sad to be a spectator of decline

On the plus side, now Cure can make it through the GSL qualifiers.

Didn't you hear? He's switching to overwatch.

Cure made it through ro4 and was top 2 terran in 2016.

And this season he couldn't make it into GSL because Armani was too good for him.

You can go season off just like INnoVation did, but then he will take it all

+ He is a Gentleman, he knew that he can make it to blizzcon with only one bullet, so he gave Armani a chance to participate in his second and final GSL
