Not to take away from Neeb but I think that definitely had an impact There was a decent-sized section about this that got cut out. There's some interviews/videos that attest to progamers being very demoralized at the time, but nothing that directly connects it to reduced effort or practice. In fact, given the WCS points situation at this event, players like Classic and herO were incentivized to play extremely hard to qualify for BlizzCon (they did not make the cut), while already qualified players like Zest and Stats should have been practicing hard since BlizzCon was just a month away. Now, I do feel like I've heard off-hand or at least speculatively that KeSPA teams closing DID affect players' play levels, but we couldn't find sourcing that was acceptable. Ultimately, the element with Proleague ending/KeSPA teams disbanding felt too speculative to add. | ||

But no, I don't think the disbandment of teamhouses alone leveled the playing field, Neeb (and later Serral, Reynor etc) are obviously huge talents who deserved every amount of success they were getting. But still the circumstances were in Neebs favor when he won that tournament. | ||
