compLexity & MVP Partner - DRG & Genius - coL.MVP - Page 16

When did coL start thinking about this deal? It's similar to what SK did with MC and NaDa, but presumably you guys worked on this before those announcements were public, or was it a reaction to this and other foreign teams bringing in Koreans?

I have to give credit to SK Gaming and FXO in opening our eyes to this possibility. This deal occurred at a fairly fast pace. Once the SK-oGs announcement was made, we began looking at our options. Just a couple of days ago, we set our sights on DRG specifically and MVP. We opened a dialog with Choi at MVP yesterday and had a full day meeting today to hammer out all of the details.

We have had interest in doing a deal with Korean players for quite some time but were learning our way before making a move.

I think mouz is the only major team that doens't have any affiliation with a Korean team. This is becoming an "arms race" (courtesy of hot bid). Grab IM, NSHS, ST and prime while their still hot!

For people who don't like the "partnership" model that is happening you have to look at it like this. Many Korean teams have infrastructure but no funds. Many western teams have funds but no infrastructure. These kinds of deals make 100% perfect sense. It makes far less sense to take the players out of their current infrastructure and having to create your own for them.

I wonder how Col.catz feels about this.

Great to see this deal happen. This type of stuff will keep sc2 a global game.

compLexity players who wish to train in Korea will be hosted at the MVP House for training purposes.

Awesome. Complexity has a pretty weak lineup but as we've seen with FXO the sky is the limit once you've had some proper training.

I don't know if I'd necessarily call it weak, comparative to Korean teams, perhaps, but in comparison to those, most foreign teams come up weak.
