Korea is going to explode with dota soon, and honestly the competition is a tier below so these guys have a very good chance at placing high in tournaments.. Solid idea, hope it works for them. people keep saying this, but i have yet to see much in the way stats about 'korean scene exploding' anyone have anything to back these claims? | ||

Well as we've seen in this thread, many NA/Europe players are jumping at a chance to play in Korea, even joining korean teams (cArn, DeMoN, Blitz, Purge, Eosin, etc) and if you follow the SC2 scene at all, some of the big korean casters are making the transition to dota casting (Whiplash) and even Tasteless is learning Dota this week.. Makes you wonder why he'd take the time to learn Dota... Maybe a job?? | ||

Turnabout is fair play. they aren't playing for prize money, they are playing for a sponsorship. that's incredibly different. furthermore, the point of NSL specifically is to develop korean dota, and zephyr isn't exactly korean dota. they are staying for some months after, but it's not quite the same. | ||

That is not stats however and a lot of that can be attributed to Sc2 issues rather than dota 'exploding' its more the secondary choice for people who want to keep the same line of work. | ||

Maybe a job?? whiplash didn't manage to get a sc2 casting gig, and tasteless has never been big on streaming/playing sc2. he's been playing other random games too, doesn't mean he'll be casting. i wouldn't look into this at all really. | ||

According to existing experience do you have to breathe? lolololol yeah cause the word breath could be used as meaning to coordinate (match each other's breath). Basically asking if they have experience playing together as a team. | ||

The point is that alot of non koreans payed for the prizepool in the gsl back then and maybe still, because they wanted to see naniwa, idra and stephano play. Thats were it started. To me it seems logical the organisation behind nsl will have a similar approach, because in there and most viewers eyes, the higher the prizepool, the bigger the tournament, the more subscribers and sponsors, more money for everybody. If the nsl cant match the prizepools (donkeys sold) of starladder and mlg, it will be hard to build there dotabrand. Next to the fact the have crosscoputition of lol and other games. Money attracks the best of the best, we all know that and we all want to see them play. | ||

Is there stats to prove that europe dota is doing good?? How about american dota? Ok, you've convinced me. Korean dota is pointless, mise well tell Blitz and his boys to pack his bags and come home, because korean dota is a waste of time (despite all that money/sponserships on the line with sub-par teams). | ||
