But seriously, i am quite interested on the topic. Is nepotism considered a part of their culture or do koreans look at it as a bad thing?

It's sort of both. All east asian countries has this 'problem'. It's ingrained in our culture, but is a constant media drawn ire on the topic. Though arguably it's more a focus on abuse of power as opposed to giving family members position of power.


In Japan, it's a mix of skepticism and admiration for them. You're a little mad because one family hogs all the money, but at the same time admire and envy them for their success. No one really does anything though, because they don't consider it a huuuuuuge problem. The only entity that actually did something to them was the US Military under MacArthur.

They will kick someone out eventually I think.

So MVP Ozone returns to Samsung Galaxy White now?

Why did they retain the Ozone name? Samsung Galaxy White and Samsung Galaxy Blue work so well together...

I'm assuming it's just to keep brand recognition. I thought Ozone was a sponsor too :s

So did the entire organization get bought out by Samsung? Including the SC2 and Dota squads?

I mean, if the coaches stay the same they're still MVP, just with a different name. And now the players will actually be making a salary! You should be happy.

No, it's just the League teams. The old SC2 squad is just being renamed to accommodate the changes in the team.
and most likely that one League coach that they have (forgot his name) will be moving over. The head coach and Dota coach will stay with MVP.

Oh, well that sucks.

I wonder why Team MVP left eSF and GSTL when they no longer have LoL teams to bargain their way into sc2 proleague?

No >_> Samsung KHAN (Samsung's Starcraft team) is changing name to Samsung Galaxy KHAN. That's it. No relation and no change to the MVP Starcraft team.

MVP SC2 -> MVP SC2
Samsung KHAN -> Samsung Galaxy KHAN
MVP Ozone -> Samsung Galaxy Ozone
MVP Blue -> Samsung Galaxy Blue

is that hard to understand?

either way i'm not affirmative on anything until a reliable translator like wax posts the report.
