Nah the talent base is for sure stagnant or dying. Like bro the best young talents in lpl are all over 20+ in age and don't get the opportunity as well. Shanks who is so skilled is 24 years old and this msi was his first international event lol. Talent pool was china biggest strength in past and it's not present anymore. Also saying gov rules didn't effect anything is crazy. It's not just league if you follow other esports you will notice how there has been a sharp decline in talent growth for cn eSports.
