Those are all longer online tournaments which count as SK participation. There are many events for them to represent SK. What is with this 'oh they're just paying their plane tickets, it's not actually associated or anything' nonsense. Do you understand what the main obligations of a team ARE? Having your own players would be a start. ^_^ | ||

They have a long history with CS and Warcraft 3, and other games. I think the op mentions they are the first ever pro team in europe? Not sure but they have been around for a long time. | ||

It feels like they're just borrowing players for these tournaments. If it had been TL it would've been different. Then it still would have been silly. Its just basically a sponsorship now. "Biggest multi-gaming team" cant even get their own team together. Its justembarrassing T_T | ||

So basically oGs gets marketing and presence outside of Korea for free, while SK can get their hands on two awesome players. | ||

Do you understand what the main obligations of a team ARE? Plane and hotel tickets from Korea to the rest of the world are expensive and costly. Additionally, so is having someone with you (specifically SK.Reis, who's translated for Korean players for many many years now for SK) to take care of you. You make it seem like nothing when it's much more. Just because you pay for the flight doesn't make them YOUR team. Mom's touch gave oGs a $180,000 deal, just to be named one of the sponsors, and a little patch sewed onto their sleeve. Are plane/hotel tickets as expensive and costly as you thought, now that we are talking in 6 figures? So what is SK doing that is beyond a simple sponsorship? This reis chaperone you are telling me about? | ||

Its justembarrassing T_T I see it that way also. They can not afford any players, so they will pay tickets so Nada and MC can play foreign events and "represent" them. SK has really fallen from grace, they used to be a big name in esports. | ||
