I mean there aren't any real teams anymore, so his age isn't very significant for an org I think. Not like they are going to sign a 5 year contract either. | ||

You seem to be ignorant, because organizations like Ting or O'Gaming are no real teams but more personal sponsorships.. there are indeed very few real teams these days.. sadly a team leagues were never really promoted in SC2. | ||

 Speaking of Reynor, does he stream or play online events sometimes? I'm a big fan since WCS Montreal and I haven't been able to catch up to him recently | ||

I'm a big fan since WCS Montreal and I haven't been able to catch up to him recently Reynor rarely streams, but he played in online tournaments very often, until the WCS Global Finals at least... Recently he's not on the radars very much, but it's off-season for everybody, I guess | ||

Yeah, this is exactly why I didn't include those orgs in my actual list of 11 real teams which I really wouldn't call "very few". | ||

He said that they were quite successful in drawing the attention of Chinese esports organizations back to SC2, Because SC2 pros have surprisingly large fanbase considering it is a so-called deadgame. so they are much better value (lower salary and don't need to take care of a whole team) comparing with the big esports like lol, dota, CS, or pubg etc. TIME's top 4 finish in WCS helps them alot. He also said that if there are enough teams and players next year, they are planning to run a team league like SPL. As the result, Chinese organizations are going to recruit some foreign player in the near future, just like Scarlett joining newbee. | ||

I mean, the definition of team has to be a little stretched here. Usually I'd consider it only a team if they practice together in a teamhouse and compete in teamleagues. Since there aren't really any teamleagues and teamhouses don't make sense in the current environment I'd consider most of those "teams" just sponsorships. Yes some organizations sponsor multiple players but that doesn't really make it a team. | ||

Yes some organizations sponsor multiple players but that doesn't really make it a team. Well, according to this definition we hardly ever had any team outside of Korea, with EG being the only exception. I think a team is naturally not as much tied together in a 1v1-game. But there are team aspects nonetheless. Players of the same team will be more likely to support each other in training, will discuss meta more intense than with other players and will think together about preparation for important matches. And if they are on an offline event together they'll probably give each other advice and moral support and stuff. It's probably more like tour de france or national teams in olympic games: without a team it would be a lot harder to perform well but in the end every participant is on their own. | ||

Team Liquid, Root Gaming, Psistorm Gaming, Myinsanity, Acer all at one point fit this definition of a team. | ||

What sponsors do these teams have that want to sell stuff outside of China? They want me to watch Huya TV or some shit? | ||

Chinese teams has pretty nice sponsors, they have sick dota/lol teams with great fanbase, for example, newbee is also sponsored by monster energy, intel and sennheiser, just like any other western teams. On the other hand, they are not really selling anything to western audience, the Chinese market itself is sufficient enough. As Xiaose said, SC2 pros has decent fanbase but relatively low cost, which make them a good bargain in promoting the organization. | ||

I love Marc, Dario, Grzegorz, Bunny miss me a lot but I don't see TL increase its roster, even less with a big fish like Reynor. Remember Taeja is the new TL star  | ||

I in no way want to sound like a dick, but is there any reason why the chinese pro scene as always been pretty bad? They have a pretty big fan base, a bigger national scene then most (everyone?) and a pretty good tradition of RTS with WC3, yet with the exception of Jim and maybe Time they never had a top foreign player yet alone a top world class player. | ||
