Holy shit, it's like bizarro world.

Koreans do it to americans in SC2, so its ok if Americans do it to koreans in dota 2

Good luck guys, and I'll be glad to help out in translating whenever you'd like to communicate with the Korean fans. I myself am an avid fan of the Dota Scene as well as Purge/Blitz streaming, and would love to spread the good news with the Korean Dota 2 community

but american tournaments don't award sponsorships, just prize money. that's a small, but important difference.

Anyway. Although I found this news incredibly surprising, I don't really have anything against it. This is an amateur team (as in the only one with significant experience on pro teams is Bamboe), I think they will still have problems against some Korean teams. And that will help improve the Korean teams as well.
I think if it was an established western team it would feel a bit like them taking advantage of the situation. But this situation is quite different, Blitz was going there as a Korean to play full-time and got a bit screwed by the team he ended up in, and then the others joined. And I suppose the argument could always be made that this happens the other way around with Koreans all the time.
I'm disappointed the team isn't called Purgegamers though.

So which team is Black going to?

I think following twitter DeMoN is back in the U.S
But he wouldn't be able to compete anyway this Season.

Yeah, winning team can't even play in the following seasons. I wonder if that means he can't join another team and still play?

It's the same thing as achievements can lead to better marketable players and thus higher potential for interested companies - thus sponsorships.

According to yesterday's gg.net article he is still searching for team.

Well everyone is always talking about NSL. But don't forget what Nexon has promised are tournaments above NSL. The NSL is just there to get some teams before the real tournaments.
