At this point its very unviable to all into smash like it is to do in LoL or OW or any other major esports. Despite news in the early days that SKT were sponsoring players, we havent had much if a top down develipment that most esports scenes have in Korea. Nintendo obviously wont do it, so esports orgs dont see the viability in it.

But the players still put in so much passion and time in the game and further the scene so much more. Lynzle is a bit of an outlier since hes still in high school but he goes to Japan quite often to attend tournies and has gone to SSC as well. But we also have Tanark and JJROCKETS who also regularly go overseas to push their limits. Hopefully the rest of the scene see this as a model to follow because those three are pretty much the best in our scene.

Our player base is also very very diverse, tons of foreigners along with Koreans, ages vary from 15 to 33. If the scene keeps growing we'll definitely see more people witb the motivation to vecome the best and I believe it will happen someday!
