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'

AG?

At the booths, maybe. Playing, not until the next season of GSTL, more than likely.

This partnership only is different from the SK one *if* complexity's players start heading to Korea. If they don't actually send anyone to Korea to train, then it's just the same as the SK deal.

Seems like something very similar to what MC and NaDa are doing between oGs and SK Gaming.


Not really. SK does not even have a SC2 team of it's own. And thus no players to send to korea to stay with oGs. It's completely different.


SK is not committed to StarCraft II totally. They probably just wanted to taste a little in the possible easiest way.

But in this deal, there are actually 2 big teams.

I like these Joint agreements over buying the other team/getting some of their players.

This is sweet, best of luck CoL and MVP.

are all these partnerships and player recruiting a sign of a weak korean SC2 economy?

Another example of a company respectfully approaching the management of a korean team and hashing out a deal.

EG could learn alot from these other teams who are respecting the korean culture and approaching these korean teams in a very humble way. Im almost positive that neither DRG or Genius have contracts with MVP(its a fairly new team and i dont beleive they have many if any sponsors and surely no salaries)

These korean teams seem very willing to work with the foreign community and had EG approached Mr Lee im sure something could have been worked out without anyone being offended and no backlash from the community, im offended by Alex Garfields stance that he did nothing wrong.

Congratulations are in order for complexity this was a great move on their part and i think this approach to aquire korean players is much much more realistic and far better for the team on both sides as a whole.

Complexity basically gets access to a korean pro gaming house for its players to train at now, that is priceless. The korean players they aquired will still thrive just as they have been in the environment that made them great players in the first place. Having a deal like EG's doesnt make sense for puma on anything other than a financial level, Alex said they are providing puma with a korean environment he can excel in , but honestly i dont see what they could be doing that would be just as good or better than training in a korea pro gaming house.

All I can think is SC2Con needs to organize KesPA rules as fast as possible. Yesterday there was outrage, today there is celebration, tomorrow will be chaotic. Waxangel started this thought and I''ll extend it past him-

SC2 players on the whole are young and easily exploitable. Big money teams are buying talent and recognition as of late. This is not a bad thing overall, it happens in every sport. However with an increase in money the necessity of rules and contracts to protect the players becomes more important.


I will cheer for MVP. I will hope for all players to do well under the increasing amount of mergers with financial powerhouse teams.

SC Hwaiting.
