Are you serious, while talking this shit? SK had one of the best CS Teams ever and actually they have one of the best. SK had many Superstars in their teams. Fifa Twins hero and styla. Tod, Insomnia, Deadman, Lyn, Remind, many CS stars and more...basically you are talking just sh.t | ||

i doubt that Nada and MC approached SK asking "if you are paying us travelling costs we will play for you" i guess it was more the other way around. MC already is at most foreigner events and i heared he said that he wants to concentrate more on korea for the next few months (and practice there alot) while Nada said in an interview that he is quiet busy with his study which by itself is mindblowing. I doubt we will see Nada at many Foreign Lan Events and MC ... well he will still be there just wearing an SK shirt that no-one really cares about other then SK so they can publish his results on their website besides not having anything to do with it. Might be attractive for sponsors but i doubt the scene therefore will suddenly turn into SK fans ... second, though i don't think that this hurts eSports, it hurts the foreigner competition. They buy korean mercenaries who give a shit about whats going on outside of korea but just learned that there's a lot of money to take so they come here and rape faces, while the neccesary infrastructure teams like SK COULD provide is still not there for foreigners. If this move by SK turns out to be somehow successful atleast in a short term i think we will see alot of bigger teams doing the same ... we will see less and less foreigners in NA/European tournaments ... many people wont watch them anymore (i don't count myself in because i personally give a shit about foreigners vs. koreans but i KNOW from THIS forums that MANY do) .... sponsors will lose interest, prices will decrease ... koreans lose interest again since its not worth the effort anymore ... and then the scene is pretty much fucked ... in the long term this move by SK though might be giving them some short term success but also alot of Anti-Fans will be considered a big failure in the future (just my oppinion) ... It just shows that SK has no clue about SC2 ... they've failed to establish a own team which they put only minimal effort into and instead of establishing a korean based team in korea similar to other teams there to compete in the GSL/GTSL they just "buy" some well known players (because well its NADA and MC is at alot of foreigner events already) to rape some faces outside of korea. They seem to think that no one outside of korea cares about korea and no one will recognize MC and NADA as oGs players, which shows me that they have no clue about the scene ... there are alot of other players and teams that are just waiting to get active outside of korea i guess ... imo they could get alot of success by establishing a SK.Korea team from talented players inside of korea and afterwards bringing them to foreigner events ... but this would require knowledge, effort and time. Something SK obviously is not willing to put into SC2, which to me is a big indicator that SK doesn't really care about the game | ||

I was in SK 10 years ago playing quake, and everyone was like a family, super friendly and caring about esports. Then the management changed and they dropped quake 3 for FIFA and shit. SK should have died a long time ago. | ||

As for Nada, the reason he didn't travel to foreign events so far surely not a monetary one but just time constraints. If SK were to sponsor Zenex then maybe you would have a point  | ||

The real money team with no quality is Anzhi Makhachkala, a mid tier russian league team with billions. Tried to sign Neymar (lol) but failed, then tried to sign ganso for 50 million, failed again, then tried to sign Pavlyuchenko and failed again. | ||

NaDa intended to visit Dreamhack, but withdrew in favour of his studies. They were not absent from the scene without SK at all, and neither NaDa's studies nor MC's practice will suddenly disappear just because of SK. Why are you talking such nonsense?

We'll just have to wait and see I guess. | ||
