So yes it's fair to say they are a legendary org. It wouldn't surprise me to see them put together an all-star roster in the next few months though, after their recruitment thread a few months back, after all in the announcement it says they were removed for the lack of results, nothing to do with the game or the scene, just in the individual players. | ||

But there is something significant here, and that's the DOTA2 aspect. In a small way I'm beginning to feel that DOTA-style games are really taking off...this is just my opinion as I feel that SC2 completely overshadows any dota game in terms of complexity but this is a sign of how the "better" game isn't necessarily the one which makes $$$... | ||

Actually I played top tier 1.6 and source before in late quit in 2010, And the top ukr teams were always good and getting good finishes in tournaments before NaVi, so to say it put them on map is ignorant yes they're an amazing CS team their dominance was very impressive but when I think of an legendary orgas SK/mTw/fnatic are the only ones I would consider in europe. as for 10years, (less for fnatic) they've dominated different games with teams and been consistently at the top, navi formed what very late 2009 early 2010? and as for their dota team winning 1,000,000 single day? yes it's nice i'm not taking anything away from them but it's just 1 tournament I don't follow dota so I won't pretend to know anything about but it's early days in that game, and it's still 1 tourny regardless of prize money. I wouldn't call stephano a legendary SC2 player even though he's won more tournys, same as I wouldn't call man city a legendary football club even though they're most likely the best team in the premiership right now, all my point was they're a good CS team one of the best however they're not as an orga on the same level as an SK, mTw. also "Also the only top Dota team in the world that isn't Asian, they made 1,000,000 in 1 single day. That means each player in the last year has earned more than the highest achieving SC2 player MVP. So yes it's fair to say they are a legendary org." The stupidity of this comment annoys me, It doesn't actually matter how much they make in their team game to mvp in a year so I won't even go there, How does winning a PR tourny in a new game make your orga legendary? when na'vi dominate and stay up their at the top of scene like other orgas, until 2020 then they'll be legendary. | ||

Ok navi are holy fuck amazing at CS, so I don't confuse you I didn't say they wasn't one of the most dominating CS teams. I don't think they're the best of all time, as they aren't continuing their domination from 2010. However I do think they're one of the top3 all time great teams,and I think it's hard to actually decide on nr1 because it's like pele vs messi the game and skill level was different. Having the considered best 1.6 team for 8-10months doesn't IMO make your orga legendary that's it, sigh fucking forums. | ||

LG, SK, coL for the longest time, etc. All them want their advice on player pickups for "free" because "we have 4 other guys giving us picks for free". You get what you pay for. | ||

Talent scouting is hard and very few people just "get it" (CatZ is a GREAT example of someone that does). It's not really something you can learn, and the people that get it aren't going to give it out for free. Free advice is why coL was not even relevant in SC2 for the better part of the year, free advice is why the great SK is nothing more then a sponsor in SC2, free advice is not good. The best of the best are going to want to get paid and until they do the teams will suffer for their cheapness. | ||

I feel like you're quoting Moneyball here. In any case, I inquired to SK whether they'd widen their team and they said: "It has to make sense". The direction most foreign team organizations are going is mainly Koreans anyways. So, whether or not your rationale is the way to go, most are going for shortcuts anyways and what they sense would get their organization on the mainstage and exposure. You can scout for up and coming talent or you can pave a big money road and just buy or "partner" up with Korean teams/players. | ||
