They do kind of look similar and have same last name, but same last name doesn't mean much in korea. No mention by either MVP or rapidstar of a brother in other esports and no real proof. | ||

CLG.NA was the first NA team to go to Korea and discover how good they were. When they told NA teams here some (TSM) just put it on CLG being not that strong. If you listen to Doublelift and Saintvicious they have tons of respect for the Koreans. | ||

Like i said, it will get worse. lol hasnt been popular for long in KR. i predicted half a year ago when auctually TSM and M5 were on top of their regions that within time KR would come and take all our monies. That will start to happen now, the Korean mentality of approaching the game will snowball KR vs Foreigners into a lead so big that Foreigners will /FF at 20. | ||

First match: Europe 2-0 China Second match: Taiwan 2-0 Korea Third match: Korea 2-0 North America Relax. i like how NA supporters always group EU with them into "NA/EU" when the sentiment is not at all returned by EU people lol | ||

TSM betting on Dig to get out of group play. CLG.NA didn't even practice before the 2 millions dollar. But most importantly, how hard they ALL get smashed 1-7 in total. NA teams can even beat SAJ which considered to be the worst coming into this tourney. Also, the way they lost as well, most games are just one side stomped from Asian teams. | ||

They were a joke in season 1 and they will continue to be a joke in season 3, they can still enjoy their stream revenue. They're still going to use all of their remaining power to keep down up and coming NA teams. This. TSM and CLG etc, had a easy start to get famous with MLG and stuff. With almost no europe teams coming to the events, let alone korean teams. Fanbases were made etc. Kinda funny how the same happened in sc2. we had the gods of sc2 from na at mlg events, then suddenly koreans came to mlg events and it was koreans 1-8. I just feel NA teams are riding the past. Yes the won alot of tourneys, but how was the competion back then? | ||

We are witnessing history folks Season 3 is region locked for the most part (according to what has been revealed thus far). This allows each region to remain popular and interested in the game. | ||

I'm not sure how popular and interested NA viewers will remain when their home teams lose in 20 minutes to every notable EU/Asian team. If CLG.NA and Dignitas put on a performance like this, then how will NA qualifiers 4-8 fare? Especially given that the unqualified Korean teams (Blaze, Storm) are just as good as the ones that came? | ||

They were just in the OGN Summer tournament where most team are Koreans and Chinese and they nearly take the champion. And you think TSM can take on current CLG.eu? Not in a million years imo. | ||
