SK's deal is nothing like this one. theyre basically renting players who come for foreign competitions, whereas this col-MVP one sounds more like a collaboration between two ACTUAL teams (*hint SK) | ||

Kiwikaki all kill IM ? it CAN happen :D a bit sad for AG though, now the only Korean player he can 'talk' to at MLG is only IMMvp since Choya is FXO, DongRaeGu is now Col.MVP and I dont think even he have the balls to 'talk' to the SlayerS guys with BoxerR and Jessica there well there's always next MLG/NASL for him to 'scout talents'  | ||

Why are prohouses and proteams not being trained in the Korean style? Koreans are not born to this high level of skill. They are trained this way. Everyone acknowledges that they not only put in more hours, but they focus and regiment their training in such a way to get the most out of each hour. These kinds of super players can be created in Europe and the United States. There are more tournaments, more players, more dollars. The only problem is that we have not taken the time to create the systems to train up the ones with innate talent and desire to be great. Look at how much Huk has grown since he moved to Korea. He was put in that system and has flourished. Imagine if the top five teams in the west steadily cultivated that style of training. In the next few years, we would start to see the west catch up. However, greedy teams want results now so they just borrow players instead of taking the long investment of growing eSports talent in the west. Actually, this seems to be mutually beneficial for both MVP and all of coL. compLexity players who wish to train in Korea will be hosted at the MVP House for training purposes. The coL-MVP partnership seems to allow a very similar situation to the TL-oGs partnership by allowing coL players to live with and train with Korean MVP players, similar to how Huk and other TL players trained with the oGs dudes. Having non-Korean coL players be allowed to live with and train with their MVP colleagues seems to be a good, less-expensive alternative to spending money on team houses and training infrastructure outside of Korea. Implanting players into the Korean system seems to be a very efficient way of creating non-Korean "super players." We saw this in the improvement that all the Liquid players got from their stays in Korea, especially that of Huk. I expect FXO players to start doing much better in tournaments now that they've experienced Korean-esque training and laddering. Until more money comes into the scene, it may be much more efficient to create mutually beneficial partnerships with Korean teams so that Western players can utilize their training infrastructure instead of creating a Western infrastructure from scratch. | ||
