You mean like the way Koreans merc the starcraft 2 scene? Fly in, raid prize money and leave. Turnabout is fair play. | ||

This isn't anything of the sort anyway. This is pretty much an amateur team flying in to compete without being an overwhelming favorite to win the whole thing. | ||

Most of the Koreans competing in WCS NA/EU are not B teamers at all. They are top tier players that have proven many times that they could compete with the WCS Korea crowd, but don't because it's easier to take money in the west so why bother. Meanwhile, Zephyr is made out of amateur players, isn't likely at all to be dominant in Korea, and they aren't certain to earn a lot of prize money either (depending on how it's distributed I guess). They could conceivably be competitive enough to give the Korean teams a run for their money and play the "gatekeeper" role of sorts for the lesser teams. | ||
