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 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.
Agreed - this is terrible for eSports imo.

this looks like a soccer proffesional business, anyway MC and NaDa are awesome players =)
|
This'll make it easier for NaDa and MC to come out and play foreign tournaments. Ergo, it's a good thing.
Also, I know this is a Brood War/SC2 community but seriously, how can one not be a fan, even less not know of, SK? They've been a vital part of the, arguably small, eSports scene in the west for a long time.

Nothing involving players making a shit ton of money is bad for eSports. It is on the other hand bad for SK-Gaming's image. But noone cares about SK anymore anyway.
Although i guess if you're on the outside looking in, and don't know about this whole "oGs-SK deal" then it's good for their image. But i doubt anyone that has any kind of insight would like what SK is trying to achieve.
|
I'm not too happy with this, but I don't really care.
It's just the thought of Nada being associated with SK that's somehow depressing. =p
|
Smart move my SK gives them more representation more people might wanna join. Haven't heard much of them in years but I remember hearing about them all over the place when I was younger.
One thing I'll never forget is their SK-Believe fragtage where they follow one of their teams through a Tournament. Its SO GOOD.
+ Show Spoiler +
On the note of old teams has 4Kings done anything with SC2 yet?
|
SK-Gaming is huge organisation. It was a matter of time to have SC2 team with all that SC2 community boom. Didn't expect such a move, but ... GL & HF to MC, NaDa and SK ;-)
|
All the foreign teams should do this so we can have 50 code S events a year. Why can't there be some rules against this? :C SK-gaming sucks.
|
I wonder if we'll see the players with new ID's on EU / NA servers:
SK-NaDa*Toshiba ?
SK-MC_ADIDAS ?
Ehh i already hate this.
|
this just seems really weird... I don't get how the TL-oGs and the SK-oGs can work together :/
|
I'm not entirely sure why this happened. I'll never see MC or Nada and say SK FIGHTING! They represent SK on paper but I'll never see it that way. I know they're Old Generations and that's how it'll stay to me.
|
Awesome. If I'm not mistaken, NaDa practices in his spare time when he is not at studying. I wonder how he can perform to a standard not only expected by the oGs team, but by SK...at the same time.
|
Was really hoping for SK to go all out on their SC2-team after releasing their former lineup. This feels like a cheap half way stance for SK to take. Borrowing oGs members for western exposure.
I highly doubt that anyone will see them as SK-players while competing. They will be oGsMC and oGsNaDa to the community.
|
Interesting. Obviously great for SC2 fans everywhere, but I wonder what kind of precedent it may set.

No Sk gaming is a german company they do have one of the best cs teams With all swedish players yes, but they also house great quake players like rapha
|
I just hope SK-gaming pays out there salarys/prize money since they had some problems with that in the past...
|
On the one hand, Cool. Nada and MC don't have to worry about their oGs sponsors being very korea-centric and can compete outside of korea.
On the other hand, it paints a picture in which no non-korean teams have any members they're just paying to have korean pros represent them, is that the future people want? Yuck.
|
Whatever brings MC to more events is fucking awesome.
|
this is stupid. sk should just man up and buy their own players. why partner with another team when you can easily afford to buy your own.
seems like they are trying to cut corners to me. trying to put up good results for their sponsors without actually being the reason for the success they get. ex: ogs' training house.
