I think that they need to change the GM format - it 's a failure in terms of interest and audience, a semi-closed club of players is not good, all players need to have the same chance to qualify, this almost killed the ladder "finish" system. regarding the relegated Legends (like Kolento and Pavel) - I think that they are tired of the game and therefore less investing in practicing - therefore they have less good results.
Silvername's games = RNG Fiesta
Hunterace - last season unbeatable
Pavel - one of the best players, never showed sign of stress
Kolento - meta creator
Feno (grandmasters season one) - unbeatable
Tell me how those players are relegated. The only I reason I see is this game is RNG fiesta.
HunterAce, Pavel and Kolento gone. These players were three of the biggest reasons, for the few people that still watched, to even show up. The HS pro scene is slowly dying off.
They need to put this back on twitch dident even know it happen
RIP HunterAce and Purple :(
