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. its because Ozone is a Taiwanese peripheral brand thats trying to branch out. (hence MVP 'Ozone') | ||

Yes, same level of play as SKT, KT, and the CJ teams. With the difference that Ozone already have their spot for S3 World Finals secured right now (based on their Spring Championship win and SKT winning the Summer season) and the other KeSPA teams still have to fight for the remaining spot amongst themselves.

Gotta feel like a part of Ozone's success is due to their coaching staff.. Oh I'm sure they will. They might just put a new headmanager in charge of them. Maybe even add some additional coaching or analysts to the staff? | ||

Which would most likely be true, but I'd see it as possible that the best Chinese team (OMG? iG? I'm bad with the Chinese) could rank amongst them. | ||

SKT/Ozone and then take your pick of Bullets, OMG, CJ's, or even Fnatic/C9 if you want. | ||

MVP sc2 is a huge team right now and I don't see why they would add 20 more players when the kespa teams are all supposedly downsizing their sc2 squads. So basically we'll lose another sc2 team if this happens. Samsung is so big compared to the other Kespa teams' sponsors that they could support two teams at a time to double their chances at winning proleague without breaking a sweat. But probably not happening with the state of SC2 esport (somewhat constant, not growing viewership, compared to LoL). I'm also really interested at what they do with the DotA team, though (it's not as big as LoL, but contrary to SC2, it's growing steadily, and Valve seems to be easier to work with than blizzard, not forcing broadcasters to pay to animate their game and all that). Pretty sure they won't get that much money, but it's 5 players, not 20 like a large SC2 team. | ||

$500k is going to be a ton of money for MVP too, I hope they spend it wisely. Also very much interested in the aquisition of a Dota 2 team obviously but there is not much information yet for that. Also in b4 Samsung goes full SKT mode and MVP goes full on MBC mode. | ||
