What does that have to do with anything
Besides the fact that the race has been killed by the balance team?

What does that have to do with anything Besides the fact that the race has been killed by the balance team? Yes. A team manager has to weigh financials - competition winnings, media exposure and other potential financial streams. Let's be conservative and assume a S-tier Protoss has the bargaining power of an A-tier Terran/Zerg. Based on last 2-3 year trends, the latter has a higher ROI. Slam-duck decision. (This is to pre-empt anyone from going "Oh, but [insert name of B/C-tier Protoss] got into a team!". Apples and oranges. Parting is quite an outlier as he has other potential financial streams - including his, yes, streaming activity.) | ||

What does that have to do with anything He's actually stuck in a balance hellhole 1) He's a top tier player, no doubt about that 2) He doesn't win things and champs get much more exposure than runner ups 3) He doesn't stream/isn't a part time streamer So we have a very good player, who has the right to ask for much monies, who doesn't win trophies and who isn't medially usable as a streamer. He's no MC or Parting, that's for sure. He's not exactly in a great negotiating spot. I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to undersell himself and I bet people would love to get him as cheap as possible. | ||

Exactly, being stuck as a Kong is an awkward place to be. Coincidental or not, it's mostly Protoss occupying this niche - Trap, Stats, and even Zest. Whilst even 'slumping' top Terrans and Zergs (S to A tier) can pull out a surprise win or two (Inno, Byun, soO, Rogue). | ||
