They're not new in this genre of games, even ignoring LoL. Though Dota 1 never took off in Korea, people forget that's because a Korean map maker took Dota and created Dota Chaos from it, which replaced Dota 1 there and was huge in its own way. There were tournaments both in Korea and SEA for Dota Chaos, but we never paid attention because nobody plays Dota Chaos in the West.

Everyone knows what chaos is, no one has said they are new to the genre. I'm not interested if they played Chaos, or LoL. He said he played Dota. If they played Dota, (and Dota 2 since the rest of SEA), that's relevant to me. But Chaos the last time I tried it is further from Dota than HoN is. On July 01 2013 05:54 iNteLStyLe wrote:

He's Korean American, and has dual citizenship I believe.
Have the full rosters of the teams been listed anywhere?
|
^u sure about the dual citizenship? to my knowledge korea doesnt allow dual citizenship with other countries unless they agree to go to the military or something. at least thats how it was in my case and im from australia.
as for rosters i cant find anything either, although from the top of my head;
birdgang - tenbird (captain), mp, bigbird (mp and bigbird are their best players), furious, hellsymphony
fxo - march, sagun, febby (captain), qo, anarchy. (last i checked. qo and anarchy are from aus and nz respectively i believe.)
cant comment on eot because i havent seen them play recently. dont know if they had any roster changes.

Maybe I'm wrong then dunno, I do know he's of KR ethnicity and he lived in the US.

Chae tweeted "as you wish" when someone asked for it to be free on dotatv

Cant wait.
Hopefully it would be a good show XD

I just noticed FXO has a player named March, is he the old school March who was playing and supporting Chu ? If it's him and with his experience I guess FXO will have a big headstart over the Korean competition.
