mm varies. Mong is quite high, but I think in this and other leagues like the sospa proleague killer/hiya/anytime are really strong, but the others can give good games. So the other amateurs are a little less than the retired kespa pros who would have lost a little skill by not being pros anymore.
pros---------------------------retired pros----top 20 afreeca amateurs (Essentially retired b teamers) maybe by my terrible judgement
edit: to give a little idea too, I think larva played some with bisu on his stream (unconfirmed, but someone from SKT) and larva won maybe 2 out of 7 games (won the first game, then proceeded to get raped time after time). And larva was a retired b teamer recently. Check out bisu fanclub for discussion on that.
then someone else said sHy played a showmatch with mong? (one of the afreeca streamers) and he lost the showmatch bo3 or bo5 to the amateur.
if you watch mong's fpv of his group in the vods his game on neo electric circuit is certainly gosu as fuck with his wraith play
also after big zealot harass 4 goons were able to snipe the first siege tank and did pressure. ample tried to take a third and got busted; cc is up but took a lot of damage.
game macroed up for a little while but protoss was always probably a full saturated base ahead (when terran struggled as he tried to take third, protoss already fully saturated. took a fourth/fifth, etc) and continued to make the terran be defensive and never amass a huge force.
didn't watch too close. Think I heard a stormuu somewhere. Protoss eventually busted terran with large arbiter/other stuff.
