Well at least this team is not that stacked. Only bamboe has real competitive experience (and he is bad), so they are somewhat amateurish still. It brings something fresh to the Korean scene, and I hope the Koreans benefit from it.

If Pajkatt and Misery were to make a team to go to Korea, or if Black brings his own stack there, then I think it's very insulting. Still, I question the decisions of foreigners going to Korea. It feels as though they just want short term success, and be the big fish in a pond. I think that attitude is disgusting for a professional.

Personally, I don't think this team will do well.

As much as I became a fanboy of this team over the past few hours, it's hard to disagree that they might perform way below expectations (which are artificially heightened already). There will be a shitload of haters around after their first slips, no doubt about that. What I am hoping for though is that they will stick around for a long time as together I find them potent to solid improvement.

I just find it amusing as hell that US "pros" flee their country and "local" (includes EU) competition to join the easiest "big league" there is :p...

I think this is the best decision these guys could make. Not just the easy money but the people who win korean tournaments are being invited to the big tourneys as well. Sure, they'll get rofl stomped by any other pro team, but they still get to attend. But if Korea is taking Dota seriously I don't see the free money lasting for too long.

I could also say that because purge, blitz and bamboo etc are in the nsl they will sell alot more as a league, therefore boosting prizemoney and attention to create a good scene there.

The NSL only exists to promote Dota in Korea. I don't know how much Koreans care about seeing Purge play.

I'm not saying I have a problem with them playing the tournament, but I think this line of thinking is sort of pointless to justify it. Ultimately the tournament is open to anyone, you have to live in Korea to play in all the matches, that's the restriction.

That's exactly how I see it. Really disappointed in this team. But I guess since you aren't good enough for the other scenes, it makes sense.

I think it might be interesting for an esports fan that a caster/youtuber is coming to Korea to play competitively. It would be mildly interesting to me if a LoL caster did it. If I somehow found out about it...

I also hope Purge will maybe blog about their progress. I don't follow his channel, but I'd watch that.

i really like this a lot. love the idea of true friendship forming a team instead of buying players, contracts, and all that fucking bullshit.

i wish you guys the absolute best, and will be cheering for all of you. my new favorite team.
