They were 'existent' when they had a team and their scbw attempts. They are just giving MC and Nada some money to wear a shirt, it's not a team or anything. | ||

Haven't heard from SK for a while. Will be interesting to find out if they want to build a team like this, stop at these two players, or eventually transition into having a full team like oGs etc... | ||

So in steps SK, a world-reknowned gaming ORG, and offers to send them to every foreign tournament possible. They now represent SK as well. Not hard to understand. You represent your sponsors, PERIOD. If you read the article, they are both still on TEAM OGS but are now supported by SK Gaming as well. No need to cry about it. I cant believe people would see this as bad. Stop capitalizing words for no reason. It's annoying. MC and Nada will still practice with their team unless SK wishes to buy them entirely. I'm trying to make you understand the value of the Korean model. Did you not read my original post? It's good in the short run and bad in the long run for the following two reasons. 1. SK cannot take credit for their success in any form since they do not contribute to it besides offering opportunities to participate in foreign tournaments. Without the image of SK as a direct contributor to the fortunes of its players, it will have no brand power to attract players with potential like Slayers or Incredible Miracle. SK will only be able to get players who are already good, and people will not attribute their success to SK but to the players. 2. Without declaring any long-term plans to be successful in the SC2 scene and combined with their past history in SC2, it paints SK as both opportunistic and incompetent. It makes them seem as if they are committed to this particular strategy even if they do have long-term plans. | ||

But to me, it looks more like some try to make their team shine again on the RTS scene. MC and NaDa will still be oGs members before SK members, and for people who follows GSL, like most of TL does, their real team will be oGs. I mean, they live and practice there... I think there's something behind this, and imagine if oGs disbands, SK will instantly be one of the best teams worldwide if they keep MC/NaDa or other oGs members... But at the time it's just one powerful airplane/logistic support. Also i would like to know what's up with Liquid partnership in this, some official announcement would be nice. SK's move is not something Liquid would have done so there isn't much to discuss. oGs has a partnership going on with TL and SK, and they are completely different from each other. Two companies having a partnership with another company isn't anything strange. TL's partnership with oGs exists in the form it has always existed in todays announcement changes nothing about it. | ||

Only smart person on this forum, this community looks worse than HoN/DotA community ffs. to the rest. If SK was such a shitty organization why the hell do they have all these good players? specially their CS crew with Get_right and f0rest who should know about the HeatoN, Potti not being paid shenanigans, they wouldn't sign if they didn't think SK was legit. We have this racing gamer posting here who plays for SK saying they've followed through on his contract for a very long time. Most people probably already know they can't shit on MC and NaDa cause that would just be terrible for SK so why are you even complaining about something that happened 8 years ago.. I guess haters gonna hate, but before you hate you should really wait and see first what comes of this right now you don't know much. Personally I think this is a great deal from the sounds of it and also SK.NaDa just looks so sexy as a nick. | ||
