How so?Signing a player doesn't mean that all the hard work someone else did ( be it the player himself or another team) is suddenly yours to brag about, he can be liquid on paper for season 2, but that's not how I see it. | ||

When Stephano wins, he's the greatest of all time, unstoppable and guaranteed Code S champ. When he loses, he underperformed, he had a fever, he had a hangover and he didn't feel like winning.... | ||

Also everyone is saying how Axslav couldn't have worn a suit because he needed to show his sponsors. That doesn't mean that he needed to wear a t-shirt and a hoodie. If MLG was footing the cost of bringing him to New York to provide analysis for 3 days, it shouldn't be an issue for them to provide him with a nice polo shirt that has all his sponsor logos on it. The problem with his outfit is that it just looks like some super casual thing that anybody would wear. Those are the clothes that I sleep in.  I don't even think that a lot of the viewers would realize the logos represented a sponsorship, they would probably just think he was wearing some team swag that he liked. Imagine if he wore something more like this: ![[image loading]](http://www.schumacher-fanclub.com/ing-renault-pictures/rn8211-fernando-alonso-ing-renault-f1-team-sponsor-polo-shirt.jpg) It would be readily obvious to anyone that he was flashing some sponsor logos and suddenly it's obvious why he isn't wearing a suit. Meanwhile, it's still professional as well. | ||

eh...wtf? Picking Korean players does not guarantee championships. Look at all those other lesser known Koreans that got picked up by foreign teams. They haven't won much. Dragon, Golden, Inori (back at ReIGN), Rain, and so on. | ||

Oz played well, yes, but Stephano played poorly. Be it anti-steph bias or korean bias, it's still bias in one form or another. Also, to say that after coming off a victory vs one of the best PvZers who is currently in the finals.......... This is no comment on anyone's skill ever, but what makes you think Stephano is a Code A/Code S zerg. He hasn't even been accepted into a GSL qualifier which makes him Code B or less. | ||

I know that he has said he isn't interested in playing in the individual league because he makes much more money in tournaments abroad. I think the fact that he wins so many global tournaments, and always gets deep at MLG is plenty good evidence by itself. | ||

Saw a tweet from Kennigit praising Victor (Nazgul) for his talent scouting abilities, but the real praise goes towards, of course, SlayerS Boxer. | ||

Buy a monster Korean, better if in Code S already, and fly him around under your banner. Can keep a few of the foreigners around to pretend to be a foreigner team (TL, EG) or can go full-Korean (FnaticRC, FXO). Basically the real story for me right now is how dominant SlayerS still is with Ryung, Puzzle, Alicia, Coca, and now ex-SlayerS Taeja doing very well recently.

Ret has placed high in almost every tournament he been to this year. There are many Koreans on foreign teams that have not performed that well. What's really damn clear is that people need to stop generalizing base on 1 player or 1 event. | ||
