Yeah but the prizepools are way bigger now than they used to be right ?

I think players are also way better than they used to be

I think the exact opposite

The global level of the scene had literally shut down since 2016 winning a GSL was way harder in 2013-2014-2015 than it is today

Brb losing IQ

I`m backing up mister DeMusliM on this one. Years have went by, knowledge has been increased and players are more experienced, refined and all-around as ever. Game is faster. Old legends have had to realize this well, it aint easy to come back in pro SCII scene.

With the departure of kespa, there are no analyst left on the scene. The game used to be so much precise imo during hots period than it is right now, where everyone can pretty much do everything he wants and still wins. One single mistake was important back then.
