Hi everyone, there was a time a few weeks ago when a lot of Koreans from nearly all teams got streams and broadcasted close to daily, then suddenly they stopped. Does anyone know why？

My idea: that period was between gsl s

edit: and yes i know dragon, golden, and rainbow still stream

Also.. It's 7am in the morning for them..

There are quite a few tournaments going on I believe, which might have something to do with it. Practicing, as opposed to laddering, refining builds as opposed to playing games etc etc

also I believe a few teams have spoken out saying that if they wish to go to tournaments and do what they want, that team will do what they want, regardless of what sc2con desires. I think I remember reading that somewhere

A lot of the ZeNEX players stopped streaming, although there is an excuse for that as a lot of them like Puzzle are making it far into GSL, a shame though, I want to watch more Puzzle.

Also We need a way to divide streams into something like [SC2KR] [SC2NA] [SC2EU] or something

GSL running and most players on teams being devoted to practice time (either for themselves or for the ones still in the running) is the main reason.

Nothing to do with SC2con.

I hope.

S2Con said they don't want players streaming.

Dragon and Rainbow both don't live in teamhouses so the fact that they stream probably has something to do with that.

No one in their right mind would stream while they were still actively competing in GSL. Watching your opponent stream is an amazing way to analyze their play.

If I were a part of SC2Con, I wouldn't want the players to stream, either. It's like if I were hosting a showmatch between top players and didn't want them to be streaming prior to it >.<

It is a big shift from BW where replays were sacred artifacts not meant for mortal hands, to SC2 where if you don't stream 24-7, coach, release replay PACKS, participate in many offline and online tournaments, etc., your not considered "good" or whatever. (Yes I am exaggerating but still, its counter to the values built up in Korea). I think some of the players you see streaming are mainly those exposed to popularity of the foreign audience or by comments made by those with direct experience. Otherwise, its very insular. IM is very closed off for example, but oGs, Liquid, Startale, Zenex, SlayerS, etc. are quite open to it. As long as it doesn't interfere with practice, it is a good source of supplementary income in this sort of dry financial time for Korean teams.
