I think this is great. SK is pretty well known, even outside the Starcraft circles, so it's good that Starcraft II is getting its due attention from pro gaming teams.

SK does more than pay alone, it's also helpful for the koreans to have a translator around, which SK.Reis is... and MC knows Reis pretty good already probably, which made the decision easier.

just take it as SK buying their way into SC2 for some fame then getting their team up.

Good thing is MC and NaDa flys to EUR NA events more often.

Bad thing is to see that SK uniform.

The wins will still credit the players and oGs for training them.

Looks like a win-win situation for both sides, SK gets its name out there since the SC2 community generally has no clue who they are(despite having a f0rest on their team, who doesn't know f0rest?!??!!? T_T), and oGs gets free plane tickets.

I'll be interesting to see if SK tries to sign up for EGMC 2 with those 2, however.

I hope they do, and get rejected. That would be fun. It looks like their focus is on live events.

Interesting. I thought MC said he was going to stay in Korea for the next 2 months since foreign tournaments have been taking a toll on his training and practice. I hope he doesn't drop off from being a top tier player if SK gets too demanding and force him to play everywhere.

Wow can't believe people in such an e-sports related site have not heard about SK, who always have been one of the, if not the, most high profile Western e-sports team out there. Anyway seems like a good deal for both regardless of what the terms are. I can not imagine OGS gains that much from EU/US publicity anyway, i personally have no idea who they are sponsored by, but I assume it is mainly by korean sponsors. So sending MC/Nada to EU/US events its like "great all these people love our players and team, but they have no connection at all to our sponsors as they are all korean based so we get nothing out of all of this"

really feels like SK was late jumping on the sc2 wagon and realised there were very few free agent players who didnt suck ; /

seems so odd to me that ogs would allow this partnership considering they already have some kind of deal with TL

I didn't really get this. Does this mean NaDa and MC will stay with oGs which are partnering up with SK to let them participate in international tourneys? If yes, why did "SK aquired those gamers" and they are on their roster now?
Does this mean they are basically playing for two teams now?

feels just weird having them represent SK, the team, outside south korea. I cant think of anything bad for MC or Nada, prolly they will get more money but as someone else said: why cant they just go as OGS?

Yeah agree, this makes no sense at all to me either hahha, they have 0 affiliation with SK-gaming this way. They just pay their tickets..

Im confused man.



Need to see the details but it looks on the surface that oGs is getting the short end of the stick unless SK is now one of their official sponsors (meaning more cash flow into oGs team)


It's actually quite smart I'd say, in terms of advertising at least. oGs as a team targetting on advertising to the korean market, SK gaming doing the same thing but for the english speaking world. oGs gets their players flown around cheaper,

The oGs-TL deal never seemed to be about marketing at all, TL marketing has always been minimal compared to that of other teams.

OGS is sponsor by mostly korean companies, so even though nada and MC are representing OGS by going overseas, the revenue they are going to get from it are not that much. Where else SK product/sponsor are more international, so wearing SK uniform for international event makes sense.

Its a great deal for SK, Nada and MC get more exposure(and money of cause) and ogs/& sponsor isn't directly affected by it(I am assuming ogs will get paid by SK for loaning the players).

i don't see anyone losing out in this sponsorship

This is a STARCRAFT related site, and SK has never done anything with SC. It doesn't surprise me at all that some people here have little knowledge about SK.

More likely than not, SK is paying a ton in the form of salary / contribution to the team oGs. Just think of SK as a sponsor rather than a team. In return, MC and Nada wears a SK jersey when they're outside of Korea.

That and oGs-TL is more of a training partnership where as the oGs-SK deal is a business partnership. TL and SK have no affiliation whatsoever (unless it explicitly says TL is but that is highly improbable).

SK is one of the best run organizations in esports. I personally know SK.Kane (we live in the same town), the founder of SK who is a professional soccer player now. It is amazing to see how SK developed from a fun clan to what it is right now.
This is really a great deal for SK, showing how big SC2 already is. Indicating that there likely is more to come, this is just great news.

I like the partnership idea between western and korean teams, but there shouldnt be a korean team with 2 western partners. Just seems to lose the whole "team" aspect.
