A victory when there are 500 guys practicing 12 hours a day under strict kespa regimen vs a victory now is very different... Maybe 10 years from now when all the money and prestige in winning sc2 is gone, then yes. But for the time being, all the big players are staying in the scene. And it's not like they have become dads and working on other things and not practicing. If a scene is ever to become irrelevant, then it will do so gradually. Just bc kespa is gone doesn't make the sc2 pro scene irrelevant right away (and not necessarily). | ||

It’ll definitely fall off sharply if there isn’t a new generation coming through, but for the time being the level is still really really high looking at the actual games themselves. There are benefits to a player to not have to practice those amounts, some players might benefit from the stricter regime and vice versa. I think Artosis mentioned one silver lining of the post Kespa BW era was an openness of information spilling into the scene and for fans to consume. Players are more free to fraternise with players outside their team, streams etc. I still think it’s overall negative for the scene, but for immediate level of play it doesn’t seem to have really damaged things that much that we don’t have the Kespa stuff: | ||

1. MVP 2. Life 3. Maru Maru doesn't have the international success that MVP and Life both have. Also MVP titles count for a lot more since sc2 scene was much more competitive back in the day. | ||
