Something must be wrong in the SK HQ because they fail with building a BW team, they fail the first year with a sc2 team and know when they do this stupid move I guess they will never have a real team for SC2 ever again. | ||

Best of luck to them I guess they want to try Foreign tournaments more than korean You are misunderstanding it. ogs is still their sponsor but outside of korea, where ogs has no need to influence and advertise SK gaming will advertise. It's a partnership. | ||

SK don't usually aim for second place. not weird, very solid move actually. they have good shots of winning many foreign tournaments now, as MC and NaDa do represent them in every Sc2 tournament outside of Korea. it's not like many foreign teams actually are present in the korean market | ||

MC and NaDa are like "We wanna make more money by taking foreigner's cash! Wanna pay our airfare so we give you a shoutout when we win?" SK: "ok, here take our money." | ||

SK: "ok, here take our money." Well, from the experiences of their CS players over the years, I wouldn't be so sure of receiving that money. Honestly, I think if oGs were more aware of SK's international reputation, they would never have agreed to this. | ||

If this is a deal to benefit Nada and MC, so they can attend more tournaments at SK's cost, then that's great, and i thank SK for this. So weird :S Although upon further pondering i expect more of this. It is unreasonable i think for oGs or any Korean team to go to the foreign events regularly. It seems difficult financially and from a management perspective. This however makes it easier, and it wouldn't surprise me to see the scene grow more and have foreign and korean teams partnering up more in this manner so that the Koreans can travel abroad aided by able foreign teams, and hopefully on the other side we'll see more foriengers training with Korean teams to hopefully raise the level of play. These two will always be oGs players to me though. GL HF EVERYONE | ||

Also didn't MC say he will not participate in any foreign event for a while since it takes away form his practice time, MC trolling? Seeing NaDa more is always a huge positive. | ||

I agree its a bit weird. But you have to understand it from the view of the sponsors. The sponsors of oGs are mainly only Korean brands. They have no interest to send players to foreign events. The future of global esports will be global teams. This SK deal is just the first step. More koreans will move to foreign teams and hopefully some korean teams will turn global. | ||
