Ive heard some people say they leave league and just dont get placed, and I know that is true to some extent, but it doesnt happen en masse like people make it out to be. How do I know this? Check the profiles of the people who do actually ladder and u can see who they get matched against. Its not these secret accounts. Furthermore, you can say they are not practicing much because its offseason but ive been following KR Ladder for years and its been like this for quite some time. I mostly pose this question for anyone who might have insider knowledge, do KR pros like rogue, classic, dark cure etc practice mostly custom games? or do they not really practice much anymore? When i check EU pros ladder accounts like serral, maxpax, clem, showtime etc they practice on ladder pretty regularly. If anyone knows whats going on please share here thank you! The fact that someone would ask this question clearly illustrates the absurdity surrounding the arguments about the team house environment versus the pre/post Proleague era and the effect it had on player performance. We can infer that players were under some sort of practice regimen since they were being paid to play/prepare for Proleague during the KeSPA era, but the people who are making "definitive statements" about the conditions in those environments are doing so without any real information as to exactly how and why players of different time periods were affected by their ability to practice. There are a few people on this site that have insight into player preparation (when I say a few, I mean a smaller amount than you would probably guess), but they are not the ones engaging in these constant back and forth discussions where neither side has any concrete evidence or metrics to actually prove their point. But, since both sides are completely ignorant (and are lacking the means to prove their position) they are able to continue an argument that has been debated with no end in sight since the dissolution of Proleague nearly 10 years ago. | ||

That bein said, I would not be surprised if almost all koreans are not really in practice right now, because there is basically no reason for it. | ||
