Fnatic/IM next? =)


Fnatic recently got Rain, they have their token Korean. Mousesports still need theirs, so perhaps IM-Mouz?


IM and Startale have bunch of sponsors. Don't think they need a partnership.

HoSeo, though, now THAT's a team where a foreign team should want to partner with. Whatever that coach is doing, he has a team full of amazing players with great potential.

Hoseo have gone from a joke to koreas most promising team.


Actually since they're being sponsored by an University, how would partnerships with the university work in terms of process and deals? The more I think of it, the more I'm not entirely sure how their team works.

Given Complexities and EG's history, and how EG exec basically put down these sorts of deals plus how team MVP specially mentioned complexities respectful approach....this seems kinda funny.

Players cannot grow and develop without financial and travel support. Teams allow them to do this.

Personally, I'm not a fan of these joint ventures as I much rather prefer teams to just merge or something so as to keep the identity of the team consistent. But I think it's the start of potential partnerships into the future, so who knows.

I really do not like these 'partnerships.' I wish the foreign teams would just strive to create their own teams with their own players with their own prohouses. Create more opportunities for players to live the dream not shrink the pool of sponsorships and money by renting a few Koreans.

But these joint ventures make it possible for your favourite korean players to play in more tournaments than before. It also makes it possible for your favourite foreign players to showcase their stuff against the best players possible, which will improve their skill.

Good reason to care about these joint ventures it seems

Uh, "living the dream" is for foreigners to be able to go to Korea and train there. So your point is moot.

My mind is trying to comprehend and work out the amount of news in eSports recently. Great news for MVP, and great news for future Western tournaments.

And if they have a decent amount of success, it's possible more sponsorships will come to them, which is great for everybody involved.

No it allows for Koreans to remain dominant by spending money on flying them all around world instead of the foreign teams to man up and create their own teams with their own players and their own teamhouses and training regimens.

There might be a lot of great players in the foreign scene that haven't had the opportunity to train and grow because all the resources are being spent on Koreans.

I don't see this as coL not growing their own players. I still mainly see DRG and Genius as MVP players. Just like I see MC and Nada as oGs players. Just like MarineKing and Polt as Prime players. They're going to live their normal lives in Korea with their team, but have more financial backing and get to go to foreign tournaments. This also means if coL wants to, you know, actually grow their home grown talent, they can send them to the MVP house for a few months and have them practice with DRG, Genius, Keen, Violet, etc. This helps both teams immensely if coL takes the opportunity to send players to Korea.

Only thing I don't like is that DRG won't be wearing his awesome MVP jacket at MLG. If he wins, most of the non-GSL/Korean watchers won't get exposed to the MVP team.

Exactly. Over the next few months there will be Korean players coming to foreign tournaments, and foreign players moving to Korea to train. The financial burden is essentially halved when there is another team paying for the costs

Wow, we're finally bridging the gap between Korea and the outside world, this is really great. There might not be any foreigners anymore eventually, just players.
