EPTUnless SK has intentions to train other players with MC/NaDa to buid a team (Does not appear the be the case) than what they are doing is a rather lame move.
After all it is SK gaming though, it should be expected.

I imagine oGs can effort it easy to bring them to non-Korean tourneys, so this is just big deep shitz. *huge golf clap* | ||

As you see, here at least, oGs is way more known than SK (which makes no sense, I agree on that one) Good "pickup" (?), still, would've expected more  They are Sk/ogs now. They will be ogs in korea, but at foreigner events they will be wearing the SK uniform and clan tag. | ||

It does seem strange that SK would do this sort of deal even though they should have the power and organizational abilities to create their own foreign team. So, to be honest, I do echo some of the community in seeing that this is SK's method of getting SC2 recognition by sponsoring good Korean players who might not be able to fund their own trips out. Although from a PR perspective, I think we're all going to realize that MC and Nada are really oGs, and SK being more of a large sponsorship organization at this point, rather than a 'pro-team'. I'm wondering if they're thinking of picking up other Koreans from other teams... SK.Korean-AllStars? | ||

I'm more inclined to believe that the complainers in this thread think that SK forced this deal on ogs and are just trying to "buy" their way into SC2. SK Gaming is simply saw an opportunity to grab two top players and they acted upon it. Anyone has the right to do this, the notion that you disapprove of a team doing this is ridiculous. Also, to the so called "fans" of esport, why the hell are you mad at this deal? If SC2 continues to grow we will see this type of business alot. This is good for esports and competitive play between the koreans and foreigners. | ||

They have all been acquiring players from smaller teams as they always have done in other esports. Also no different to complexity buying Root or FXO recruiting players from all over the world. Its just that they are starting later than the others. | ||

Hope they actually get some genuine SK players rather than just borrowing other teams super stars though. | ||

Sk is obviously not buying any player to join their team they are just payin (in a way or another) so sick player with huge fan base like MC or Nada just were a SK shirt (that's the way to make money :o). I dont rly like that. They create their own SC2 team in the SK-Gaming infrastructure or they dont. Payin for wearin a shirt so it look like they have SC2 players (as SC2 is gettin so big in e-sport you kinda need to). | ||
