He would probably be really hard to replace right now. But as anyone on a KeSPA team, he will have to watch out really fucking carefully not to be replaced eventually. As we all know, you can be out of the door tomorrow.

I don't think they would replace homme quickly unless he has a disastrous showing at worlds and inhouse. But everybody is going to be watchful, because there's a good chance Samsung will also pick up a couple subs.

Also top lane at the moment doesn't really leave too much room for players to really shine. Far too pick/matchup dependant with current meta/itemization.

Homme actually fits MVP Ozone perfectly. They have four world class players. LoL is exactly like basketball. You can't have three to four people who need the ball on every play. Homme fits into Ozone's system of being a utility Top. Dandy, dade and Imp are the top three options, and he basically gets the rebounds, tanks, and does all the little things that need to be done. Obviously if he was on a team with less options, say a Jin Air Falcons or CTU, then he would be terribly exposed and probably be replaced, but he's the perfect Top for Ozone's composition.

At least the way Homme plays. In comparison to a CJ Flame, Shy or whoever he still pales IMO. But we don't know how much he delivers behind the scenes with strategizing/shotcalling/coordinating, so juding a player at face value always seems somewhat lackluster.

O_O even if the deal happens within this week it kinda feels wrong to not have "MVP Ozone" at worlds but Samsung instead

Interesting... with the big shuffles going on in the scene i was thinking about the big companies and their teams. I'd totally be okay if the Korean scene condensed itself to half the current number of teams if it meant more stability and player salaries and stuff. It's also cool to see LoL kind of pushing Starcraft 2 along, even though it'd be nice if it was more self-motivating of course.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

Eh, just realized that too ! It's because Kespa teams have LoL teams now But tbh being a bw KT fan doesn't make me a LoL KT fan automatically :D


Good, because you should be a LoL SKT fan anyway

Lol!

If this happens we might see a lot of Samsung(ozone) at international tournaments since they're more of a global brand than CJ/SKT/KT etc...

Surprisingly Ozone also traveled quite a bit. We just barely notice it because they only traveled within Asia and played in Chinese/Taiwanese tournaments during their off-season, mostly in showmatches stomping someone. I don't know, can you buy Hot6ix in all of Asia? Because they sometimes send these Hot6ix commercials starring MVP Ozone at Taiwanese or Chinese events.

The only way I can see them keeping the sc2 team is if they cut the team down to 5 players and those players all take salary cuts.

I would hope the SC2 players profit from the selling of LoL squad. Sc2 made global e-sport :D LoL is just feasting on it.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Looks like its getting really expensive to buy a spot in the LoL scene.

I wonder if Samsung Khan is buying the MVP LoL coaching staff as well or getting their own. Gotta feel like a part of Ozone's success is due to their coaching staff..

It's more that Ozone is a top three team probably in the world right now, have a place at the world finals, and have four world class players that still have lots of room to improve.

Being a global brand, buying Ozone before the world finals and making their debut on the biggest e-sport stage of all-time is a great marketing play.
