At the end of the day nobody gives a shit if your organization thinks they did business the right way but the korean teams don't agree, they can block you or make it difficult to deal with them in the future no matter how righteous you think what you did was. Doing business "the right way" means both sides of an agreement thinking it was done right, not just one, and this is definitely a case of doing business the right way. Gratz to Complexity! | ||

Whatever that coach is doing, he has a team full of amazing players with great potential. Hoseo is part of a school, though, isn't it? Their "team house" is in the school I believe. that's the impression I got when Artosis went there. It would be kind of hard to do a partnership with players who don't go to school there | ||

There was no way to "do it right" with puma, Lee would have been raging regardless and he just found a way to slander by pulling the cultural insensitive card. On topic ; hope to see more MVP players a foreign tourneys. | ||

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. So you want players to be locked in to contracts that are heavily unfair, live in conditions that most people would consider horrible and be forced to train 12 hours a day? If SC2 in Korea goes the Kespa route, you can say goodbye to foreigners popping over to compete in GSL, bye to the MLG partnership and bye to Koreans playing in foreign tourneys. If they make it so foreign teams can't sign Korean players or that by doing so that player can't compete in GSL then they are only hurting their scene. if they lock out our teams from getting Korean players then we should return the favour and lock out Korean players from western tourneys and allow our homegrown players to have a free for all for all the lovely dollars on offer at tourneys. If western teams all got together and started a union and threw their weight around so that Korean teams couldn't take their players (not that Koean teams really want foreigners), everyone would go ape shit, but its ok for Koreans to do it? The SC2 scene in Korea has very little money in it, much like the western BW scene had little money in it..... they should be thankful for foreign dollars coming to their players because they can't provide it for their players. | ||

Looking forward to seeing both of these guys at foreign events, not only because DRG is Doctor Gee, but because they both have real personalities, and we want to see genius's ceremonies live. | ||

It's more a sign that MLG got 22+ million viewers for Columbus, which is approaching half of the total population of South Korea. The market for SC2 play is simply global, which means that's where the money will be. | ||
